Let me preface this with the admittance that there are about 4,000 other hand to hand tools that make better "practical" weapons than the whip. Then again, while I am sure I could make shorter work of a charging attacker with my 50+" Claymore, I'm even less likely to have that on my person than...

I have always had an affinity for the Scottish Claymore. Now without getting into nomenclature of what constitutes a Claymore as we think of it or a basket hilt broad sword, the sword I am talking about here is the large two-handed great sword that upon first glance could easily be assumed to be...

This thread kinda piggybacks off the Big Bore Snubbie one from a couple of days ago, but it's just different enough I thought it might be worth a short discussion. By "Chunky Snubbie" I mean a revolver less than 3" (or maybe equal to, as I find that a bit debatable but I'm not a hardliner on...

OK, so the thread title is a bit of a misnomer;) Bears ARE scary. I don't want to run into one. I don't want to face a ticked off Griz with a 9mm. I'm not advocating that, so let's get that out of the way. What I have settled on is that, for me, most any place I am going to go hiking a 9mm will...

So this is a post-purchase, pre-shooting thread. I made a cash sale today and decided that it was New Gun Friday. I have been on the fence about the Shockwave. Even at 300 bucks I couldn't justify one. Handy, cool as all get out...but ultimately pretty niche to me. I have an old Ithaca 37 DSPS...

The family and I are taking a week trip through Michigan next month. Most of it will be driving, but we plan on spending a couple of days doing some mild/moderate hiking in the Huron-Manistee National Forest. We aren't hardcore hikers. We won't be bringing any backpacks beyond what will hold a...

Some 7 or 8 years ago I bought an inexpensive $50ish dollar Stack One safe from Gander Mountain. It's no frills, but my daughter was starting to move and toddle, so I wanted to limit the access to my bedside gun without breaking the bank. It's been a great little safe, if a bit shallow. I keep...

20190118_123106 by Fiv3r posted Jan 18, 2019 at 4:23 PM Let's get this out of the way. Charter Arms firearms are not refined like a Smith and Wesson. They are not the everyman tanks like the Ruger wheel guns. They certainly do not excrete the intoxicating flatus of Colt or Kimber that I have...

I'm going to come out and say it: I tend to like unpopular guns. I don't know if it's my nature of not wanting to go with the flow or a subconscious yearning to see an underdog succeed. In any case, I am more apt to give an internet maligned gun a fair shake even if I end up having to eat crow...

I live in the gun friendly state of Indiana, and my best buddy lives in the not so friendly Michigan. I have stumbled across a Tokarev at a great price that I would like to give to him as a gift for agreeing to be the godfather of my daughter. It's an old Norinco 213 9mm that comes with a hard...
