Colorado made automatic knives legal to own, so of course I felt it was time to buy an automatic knife. I ended up with a Kershaw Launch 6. So far, I like it, but to be honest I am not sure if it will become a regular EDC thing with me. Its not that the knife itself is off: In fact, I find...

Haha, suckers! Mod troll! My real question rotates around the aftermarket Glock beavertails. Who has used them, how well did they work? Are they a durable product, are they crap on a stick? I think my XD is going to be retired and the 19 will be ascendant in my defensive plan, because I am...

I am guessing no one has shot one of these yet, but what are the thoughts on this? For me, my thought is that it is potentially a real winner. Owning an example of both, I prefer the ergonomics of the SP101 to the GP101. While I have no idea what the SPMC feels like, I have held (though...

I was recently wondering around Big 5 for lack of anything better to do, and l noticed that they had all of their HK Knives on sale for $20 bucks. I ended up purchasing the assisted opening Unsub model with green G-10 handles and partially serrated blade. From what I can determine, the blade...

I just picked up a CRKT Crossbones. https://www.crkt.com/crossbones.html I have only carried it for a few days, so I am not going to write a huge review on the pros and cons, but instead just mention what I have noticed so far: 1. Feather light, and the thin handles make for a very easy to...

I know some people dislike tactile loaded chamber indicators such as the "shark fin" my Springfield XD has. I have always been ambivalent. No more. Tonight I had to clear my garage. It was no big deal, and honestly I guessed what the sound was before I even walked out into the garage (pallet...

A few years ago I was in this hole in the wall gunship that no longer exists and they had this odd little Russian 22 semi auto. I should have bought it then, but I was talked out of it. Anyone have any idea or info on what rifle I am talking about? It was sort of a odd rifle, but I always...

I have long railed about the uselessness of stun guns. Watch and see my point. The reactions range from apparent shrieks to something akin to delight. Certainly, none of the reactions indicate anything remotely useful in stopping a threat. Plus, it's just sort of funny. The Taser...

I have a friend who just tried to order a 686 from Cabelas. They are telling her it is no longer being made. That seems weird and not true and I can't find any information to support that, but I want to ask you all: true or false?

Tacticool Arms is a brand new startup in Greeley, comprised of two former fleet Marines who are trying to make a go of it as AR builders/FFL dealers on a shoestring budget. I can't at this time offer any shooting reviews of their products, but I do know that they have good prices on the little...

I went to open my beloved Kershaw Blur yesterday, and a weird sound came out of it. Now my speed safe doesn't work. Bleh. No big deal, as it appears that Kershaw has a easy to fill out warranty repair form, and I am not anticipating any major expenses. In fact, since I am sending the Blur...

I have said on a number of occasions that a small folder was far more useful to me back in my Marine days, yet I did own and use a "Kabar". This knife was stolen from me and some jerkwad scratched the words "kool killer" into the blood grooves necessitating me scratching that out, but the rest...

This weekend was the Denver Custom Knife Show! I wasn't able to spend a great deal of time there given that I had my wife and kids with me and we had stuff to do, but I did a good walk through and took a few pictures of stuff that caught my eye. Unfortunately, I didn't stop and think to bring...

So, my folks recently sold the farm, built a house and moved to town. My stepdad has been taking his time cleaning out his shop, and while doing so he found a treasure that I haven't seen since 1989 or so: an old Ben Pearson recurve crossbow! I used to shoot this bow quite a bit in high...

I see that Estwing is making a tomahawk AND a doublebit axe now. I just may buy one of these because a: Estwing has a good reputation for quality and b: the price seems very reasonably compared to similar products. I don't really need a tomahawk, but I have always wanted one... Check it...

Without knowing anything about them, I found a small 9mm tonight I really, really liked: Firestorm pro mini-9mm. Excellent double action trigger, decent single action pull, good sights and controls, and it fit my hand. Pointed well, too. I was shocked at how good my initial impression was...

So, I ordered a Shirley/Owens CD II from Sam1911, waited for it, got it, then immediately got struck with a number of things that kept me from writing a review on it sooner. Jshirley wrote a better review than I can't add much too on the CDII HERE, and I am not going to attempt to do better...

I bought a nice little knife from Harvey King a couple of months back, and I bought it fully intending to use it in the field. This past weekend, I had the chance to do it, and the experience was great. First, let me point out that Mr. King makes his own sheathes which was part of the appeal...

So, for a project today, I decided to stipple the grips of my XD. I didn't go nuts with it, but I stipples the textured panels, half the back strap, and a little square in front of the trigger guard. If I could figure out how to post pics from my iPad , I would show you! It's an easy...

Went to the Denver Knife show this weekend courtesy of Harvey King, and had a good time! It's a small show, but I still managed to blow a good couple of hours there looking! Two things: First, Mr. King is a very nice fellow, and I told him in person and I will repeat it here: I really...
