    Field Knife for Bailout Bag

    Mora Clipper Military great durable, sharp as a scalpel. at $10 on sale, you could buy ten and supply all your needs. Sheath is a little less than what I would strap on, but you could use anyone's leather.

    WHAT happened to TheFirearmsChannel

    what would you like to see I have seen his page, what do you want to see in the way of a review, I know a lot of other users with good vids. as far as why he is gone, I heard there was a scandel involving some money that was donated for some fraudulent cause, and he took off fast, and also...

    .38 Special+P vs. .357 Magnum

    I had the unpleasant experience to pop off a .357 at the skeet field one day, without my muffs on. It actually tore into my soul and ripped out my spine. I have been shooting since I was 8 years old, and at 56, I can honestly say that one shot was the loudest piercing sound I have ever heard...

    lets talk double stack .45's

    magnanimous, I think am going to dump that safety lock, it's real hard to take off safe, and rough on the thumb.

    I would never carry the Sig like that, I took that picture for a holster thread. its double action, I would'nt carry it cocked. that holster is from W.Germany. it is weird, made by sig, for sigs, but it doesn't make sense. The snap is in the wrong direction, and under the flap in the pic,the...

    lets talk double stack .45's

    it uses standard grip safety, standard main spring housing, so the length of the grip is 4" approx. It is a combination of things that give it the space needed to fit the staggered mag in the frame. There are no bushings, and the grips are very thin. Although the circumference might be the...

    that is a black beauty, I see from the frame it is pre Imbel. Its odd that my serial is also a WW since my pistol is an Imbel frame. Although my serial has one more digit. I love the sights, are they Novak cut dovetails? That is one of the things I will be leaving GI on my pistol. I just want...
