3KB, welcome to The High Road. . . . .
May we always be worthy of your company. I have not seen the Makarov pistols mentioned nor the Czech model 83 but if you are going to a gun show to handle a few different guns they might be worth a look. Small grips and compact ergonomics are the high...
yeah, what WayneConrad said. . . .
lots of gunshops here in the valley of the sun - most pretty good - some laughably bad. The best of the bunch IMHO is the mom and pop store over in Mesa called The Pistol Parlor. No BS, no ridiculous prices, no problem. And no - I am not connected with them...
I have an old production Charter Arms Pathfinder that
is accurate out of all proportion to what it cost me to aquire but I understand the newer ones are a bit iffy. Most revolvers are ammo sensitive so be prepared to shoot several types to find out what yours prefers.
if you have never handled one or fired a cylinder full
downrange you'll never understand. There is nothing I know of in the world of revolvers that carries, balances or handles better than one of those guns with the possible exception of a Model 13 in a round butt with the same 3" barrel. The...
I think I'd worry more about having to give up
using my knives than bleeding to death because I had a "whoopsie". Even hemophiliacs use kitchen cutlery - just do so carefully. For a cut not requiring a number of sutures wrap a clean paper towel around an ice cube and use it to apply pressure...
re: a tanto style blade. . . . .
I own a couple of them - 1 fixed blade and one folder and they are both hell for strong blades that stand up well to rough use around a farm and also excel at daylong sessions of opening shipping boxes or cutting carpet. It has been mentioned that they are more...
my son has been shooting the "charmer" since he was about
12 and became a dead shot with it in stock config.. It has proven to be durable and reliable over the years with minimal maintenance required. For my money the most fun you could have with a .410 would be that Winchester lever gun they...
a very eclectic mix of manufacturers and blade styles
my favorites in no particular order are Sabatier, Dexter-Russell, Forschner, Old Hickory, and Dawson ( custom ). Properly maintained, any of the knives I own are equal to the task at hand. The only major disappointment on the kitchen knife...
99.9% certain that their mail is handled by a contract
mailer that has no other connection with the Brady organization. Therefore, regardless how satisfying it might be to stuff the envelope with something undesirable - rest assured Sara Brady will never see it. A contract mailer knows...
I have just finished reading your four part essay,
and I must tell you that I find it stunningly lucid and well written. Part of my own history mirrors yours and I also came to the realization that there is such a thing as objective truth. It was jarring revelation but a necessary one as I...
a couple of options come to mind. . . . .
somebody already mentioned rubber buckshot but I also think that is an excellent suggestion. A slingshot has also been mentioned and with the right ammo that would also work. Most wild animals will bolt at the sound of a bullroarer - they are fairly...
nah, we're not chuckin' tomatoes at ya'. . . . . .
yet. :D Give yourself a break. 400-500 rounds a day is a lot out of any handgun - especially one with sharp new checkering. I'd be a little more concerned about FTF and FTE issues but so far it doesn't sound like anything some fine tuning...
try the Dozier design folder - also from A.G. Russell. . .
nice little knife with a pocket clip for about $20 plus shipping. I prefer the one with the hole in the blade to assist opening. Made in Taiwan but it works well and seems to hold up to everyday tasks and you can't ask for much more...
Gator nailed it. . . . .
your "friend" is no better than any other bully or jackbooted thug who is more impressed with his own authority than with justice. When I see "To protect and serve." on the side of a police cruiser I can't help remembering those words don't always mean the same thing...
best of luck with the TDKC. . . . .
with any luck those letters will become the sort obscure acronym cherished by the cognoscenti everywhere. If you ever decide to make something with a Finnish accent, put me down for one.
PremiumSauces, have you ever tried the thumbring. . .
release practiced by many archers in the far east? Sometimes referred to as the Mongolian thumbring? Sounds like it might be the answer to your problem with numb fingers. I've tried it and with a bit of practice it actually seems a more...
