    Carrying on my Peugeot

    I've had that handlebar bag for years. I've got an old Don Parker IWB I bought for my SR9c many years ago. It fits perfectly in the bag and my Shield Plus fits perfectly in the holster. Now, if the Drs would just let me ride again. IMG_20221022_154006062 by TarDevil posted Oct 22, 2022 at 3:45...

    Pietta black powder revolver tested for hardness.

    Spyderco Paramilitary 3...I'm excited!

    So I love the Paramilitary and the Paramilitary 2...I think they are some of the coolest folders made, and dig everything from the compression lock to the leaf-shaped clip point to the full flat grind to how well it grips in the hand to how Spyderco treats their S30V. But with a tall 3.5 inch...
