I picked this up at the Oregon Knife Show in Eugene. Wood is dyed, stabilized lacewood (blue) and steel is D2. Shiny!

Missed targets at 2 yards, dropped magazines twice, scored horribly and had the best time! Can't wait for next time so i can go slower, faster! Should've tried this years ago....

My wife and I went for a half hour walk tonight and just for grins I carried my 4" .44 Redhawk instead of the 3" Kimber. Thought it would be..um..painful and was surprised at how comfortably it rides in a Simply Rugged Sourdough holster. Oh, I know it's there, but it's almost twice the weight...

I've had this folder for years, it was my first Benchmade. OAL is 8.5 inches, blade length is 3.75. The round decals on the grippy handle have the butterfly logo and say "Balisong." The Blade is marked "Benchmade Knife Co." on one side and "Made in the USA on the other. Any idea how old...

I'm really enjoying the Cane thread. Fashionable Canes has a Beechwood cane that is inexpensive at $21.00. I'd rather not spend more, so my question is, is beech a hard enough wood for cane and possible self defense use? Let's go out on a limb and get to the root of the question. Thanks, Rob

I wanted one and bought one for $50. Any thoughts from owners? It feels well balanced and I like the handle material, very grippy. Does it hold an edge well? I tried a search, but when "RANT" is one of your search terms..well, not helpful!

Tis the season and all. Took a pair of pumpkins to the mountains on Saturday..they didn't make it back! .38, .44, didn't seem to faze 'em. #9 shot- 12 gauge at 10 yards did them in... also shot bowling pins, golf balls and clays. a great time...

My wife and I just got back from shooting. We drove about an hour to BLM land and broke in the new Remington 870 Express. It's dead on at 30 yards, pumpkin everywhere! Then we shot revolvers, her 686 and my .44 Redhawk. We loaded for each other mixing .38/.357 and .44 special and magnum to...

Another noob question: We'll be taking the new 870 Express out for the first time this weekend. What (besides pumpkins) should we shoot to get used to where it shoots, and how can we determine pattern? I tried to search but only got confused...Thanks!

I just bought a new 870 Express, and so did several of you...who mentioned a rebate. My local Sportsman's Warehouse did NOT mention it, so i went online to find it. Here's a link to the rebate form: http://www.remington.com/pdfs/promo_coupon.pdf Thanks to all who called my attention to...

Thanks, everyone. I've read all your good advice and bought a new 870 Express with a 26 inch barrel. With California's 10 day wait, I won't get to fire it for a while. Now, I'm looking forward to pumpkin season. Thanks again!

I tried searching but was overwhelmed! I'm going to buy an 870 for HD either new or used.. I'd like an 18-20 inch barrel. Is that going to be too short to also shoot skeet? I'm new to shotguns; can you tell? :confused:

Recently, some friends returned from Alaska. They know of my modest collection and added to it with this Ulu. It is obviously custom work, made in a town known as "China". Note that the handle is made of "Cultured Moose Antler" which I assume is hard to come by. Also, note the display...

Need help from the tinkers, I bought a blur with an SG2 plain edge blade. I'm told that this refers to a "powdered steel" edge that is supposed to hold an edge longer. (yeah, i know, I'll buy anything) My question is: how do i sharpen it? I normally use a Lansky with ceramic rods. Will this...

I came across an almost new AMT backup in .380 for $200 today and need some opinions. It is a consignment gun so i can't shoot it before i buy it. I'd prefer a Ruger LCP, but doubt they will ever be available in CA. Are these at all reliable? Is this worth buying, or is it the worst POS...

My wife and I travelled to Eugene for the Oregon Knife Show last weekend. What a display! There were over 400 tables of artwork the likes of which I had only before seen in magazines. http://www.oregonknifeclub.org/okcashow.html I was looking for a bowie, but the more i looked the more...

Can i expect to find a decent used gp100 for about $300? prefer stainless with a 3 or 4 inch barrel.

I've been threatening to display some of my knives for years, and my wife finally got tired of hearing it and bought me a display case! With apologies for the bad pictures: We bought the cases from: http://www.finehomedisplays.com/products.asp?cat=51 the one we got was the...

http://www.sacbee.com/101/story/631894.html And my response: First, let me thank the Bee for exposing corruption and malfeasance regarding issuance of concealed carry permits in the past. This practice was unfair and should be exposed, stopped and corrected. However, at the end of your...
