    A scare that made me think

    Strange would be putting it mildly, although even in a country where guns are outlawed, a person can still walk into your home and kill you with a knife or a chunk of wood. Let's just say it pays to be cautious here and locking your doors isn't a bad idea no matter what part of the earth you...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Just bought two Hk P7's. Got one back that I sent off to get hard-chromed at Mahovsky's. The other one will be going there next for the same thing. HK P7 with Bruce Gray Trigger Perfection Package and Trijicon sights.

    HK or Sig

    I have a Sig P226 NSW Commemorative that is my favorite shooter in 9mm. I have an HK USP Tactical that is my favorite .45 pistol. And I have an HK P7 that is my favorite all-around CCW pistol. And right now I'm saving up for an HK Mark 23. I love both Sig and Hk, but there's only one Sig...

    Flintlock vs Percussion rifle

    I'm with Loyalist Dave, go flintlock. Percussion is great, no arguments there. But there's something about a flinter.

    EMT'S

    For the record, I'm not in a habit of busting people out with my knife. But in this case the guy decided to do a U-turn in front of a gravel truck on a rainy day and ended up in a bar ditch. I had gone up to make patient contact and had noticed the guy wasn't breathing. The engine was up on...

    EMT'S

    I use a CRKT M21 knife, although it meets none of the requirements you posted. Most states don't allow auto open, and metal grips are a bad idea because the knife can get slippery with blood and cut yourself even with rescue gloves on. Tanto is a good blade profile and to be honest, the window...

    Are Colt 1911s good for the price?

    I owned a Colt and two Springfield's. Traded them all eventually for Hk pistols because I came to realize that no matter how cool my 1911's were, I just prefer Hk and Sig. I'm not gonna knock the 1911 especially the Colt, it's a great pistol, but the truth is it's like those of us that own an...

    MOA math made easy

    I just flip the lever on my rifle to "SEMI-AUTO" and adjust my "Point of Impact" on the deer I'm shooting at, accordingly.

    First AR-15 purchase ?

    I bought a Rock River Arms AR and sold it during the last scare. Great gun, but after doing more research, I wanted my own custom job. I also believe in building your own now. My new baby is a Colt M4 SOCOM Profile upper with a 14.5 barrel pinned to make it legal. Custom lower made by...

    Did the movie "Lone Survivor" inspire you to consider a gun?

    I saw the movie out of respect for Marcus Luttrell and the rest of his team as well as the rest of his brothers who went to help them and died trying. Good movie, excellent book, damn good men. I've always respected the guys in SEAL Team, and as far as guns go the only gun I bought that...

    budget sniper rifle

    Savage is a good rifle. Remington 700 is one of the preferred rifles for long range stuff. There's a website that will show you how to set up your own budget "Tactical Rifle" Google "Budget Tactical Rifle Build" and you'll find what you need to start. Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308...

    Truck Gun

    I do carry an Hk USP Tactical in the trunk of my jeep in a medic bag for rural or long distance travel. But I take it down when I'm at home. I'd hate to make a present of a firearm for someone to use against someone else if it's stolen. But I do believe having a "Truck gun" handy is not a...

    A question to the EMTs

    ("Nope. Not at all. EMTs barely get trained to be EMTs.") (Which make them more qualified the medics who hi-point in their careeer is making fun of EMT's.) Which is why we call those guys "Para-gods".

    A question to the EMTs

    Happens quite often down here in Texas. I'm a firefighter now, but I used to be on the box for years. Most of us know how to clear a weapon, but normally we'll pass it off to a LEO if there's one on scene or if it's at a residence and deemed necessary we will call for a LEO if we suspect...

    Would an AR be your only rifle?

    Answer no. I love my new M4 build. But I really love my M24 replica for more precise shots.

    Favorite 9mm handgun

    Nice to see there's a lot of Sig fans here. This one's mine. Sig P226 NSW Commemorative, my FAVORITE weapon all around.

    AR 15 trigger improvement question?

    Do yourself a favor, listen to the guys about the Giessele parts. I've had both RRA single and two-stage triggers and after trying the Geiselle SSA trigger on another fella's AR, I went ahead and hit my credit card for one and am having it installed on my M4 build. Yeah, it's expensive...

    Why was the HK P7 discontinued?

    Beautiful gun any way you looked at it. Worked perfectly, awesome design all around as well as the safest design too. Compact, all steel construction, RELIABLE, ACCURATE. And civilians just plain and simple didn't buy enough of them to warrant continuing to flood the marketplace with any...

    A THR knife PICTURE thread?!?!

    My favorite knife, a rare Seki, Japan-made SOG SCUBA/DEMO before SOG discontinued them. It's based on a Vietnam-era UDT knife made for MACV/SOG Teams.
