Is AUS-6 really that bad? I've got a decent little folder made of AUS-10, but I don't know enough about the difference between the 6 and 10.

AIWB points at my boy parts less than strong side points at my leg. Canted IWB tends to point at my gluteus maximus. At some point, I think you have to find a level of comfort with the muzzle pointing somewhere while holstered. If someone has found a method to carry a concealed pistol that...

I figured that was historically accurate because the Marines in WWII were actually larger than they are today. This may be a sword to me, but it was a pocket knife for them. ;)

I voted 10mm primarily because Grizzlies aren't a concern where I roam. I mean, there have been at least two black bear sighting in Iowa over the last 20 years, so I should probably be more prepared for a bear mauling than I am . 😱 More realistic threats in my walk-about zone (excluding humans)...

This seems a bit off to me, perhaps your friend with the PJs is misremembering things. I worked pretty closely with SF teams during my trips to Afghanistan, and they didn't "practice" that often. Four times a week practicing would mean only three times a week "working." It feels like a huge...

I don't like to have fewer than 15 rounds available for self defense. I can only imagine having to wear a trench coat with specially fitted Altor holders. Something like this, but replace the watches with pistols:

Altor talks about the tumbling on their website. They mention that tumbling is normal for their pistols. Apparently they use four shallow "micro-grooves" instead of SAAMI's six. At "self-defense" range, the tumbling is not supposed to be a problem. :cool:

I carried an M9 for my last deployment. I liked how accurate and dependable it was, but it was never comfortable in my hands. For the size and weight, I want a few more rounds, too. The SF guys all carried Glock 19's which fit my hand better, had the same number of rounds, was lighter, and more...

Altor seems to think their pistols are designed for defense. That quote is from their website's FAQs. :what: ... and that led down a new rabbit-hole of internet awesome. Check out this bandolier: :p

As my role has changed from soldier to civilian to older civilian, I have had to reassess both my potential role in an event and my capabilities. One of my limitations definitely fits the 25 meter head shot. I can absolutely do that on my range, but if my glasses are dirty or if the lighting is...

It is traditional to argue about appropriate caliber (gauge) and load type. I'm a little surprised that your choice of 28 hasn't been questioned already. The internet has taught me that the only important shotgun is 12 gauge, so I'm horrified that you may have left some twigs and branches...

The next best thing about these Altors is an opportunity to bring back pirate fashion with modern self-defense! Would something like a falchion or cutlass pair well with three Altors?

I've tried image searches, but the results I've been getting are basically just other pieces of metal with words stamped on them. :confused:

I think the numbers are Arabic, but I would love to know what the other markings say.

The "Nitro proof" and "303" are obvious, but the triangles, little crowns, and such seem mysterious.

I picked up a rough condition Lee-Enfield that had been partially sporterized with the intent to convert it to 45ACP. I wanted to find some information on markings, but Google and Reddit aren't bending to my will. I keep finding threads of other people asking similar questions about rifles that...

I picked up several different types of 9mm ammo this morning to begin breaking in my new handgun. Out of the Winchester box, 99 were fine, but one was weird. I've never experienced this sort of failure before: Looks like the primer had a structural failure, and all of its magic went out the...

Why change the threads? Do you reckon Bubba already stripped the originals? SMH
