    Kershaw Thermite 57% Off

    I gave mine away. I just couldn't warm up to it enough to carry it. Snapping it open with the flipper was moderately amusing for a bit, but eventually got old. We had guests over for shashlik, and I gave it to one of them. I warned him about the thumb studs.

    Teenage hunter under fire for posing with dead animals on Facebook

    Yes, I am bringing up class. This woman and her family are better off than most of the people in the world. She has the freedom, money, and the leisure to do things that many people only dream of doing. In a world where people starve or live under tyranny or a Christless huge number of other...

    Teenage hunter under fire for posing with dead animals on Facebook

    Some of you seem to have forgotten life before the internet, or maybe you are too young to remember it. Hunting pictures are nothing new. I have a couple pages of them in a photo album, myself. I can pick and choose who to show them to, or not show them to anybody at all. Now, when you put your...

    Teenage hunter under fire for posing with dead animals on Facebook

    She has the means to even be doing these things in the first place and she was doing them for nothing more than pleasure. If, because she was ignorant/arrogant/ill-advised enough to publicly post pictures of herself doing them, the results are all hers. Wealthy people have so much that is just...

    Teenage hunter under fire for posing with dead animals on Facebook

    You publicly post pictures of yourself, you take what comes. Someone in her economic class doesn't need my sympathy

    Army wants a harder-hitting pistol

    What, precisely, was the conduit for all the information claimed by everybody from Cooper on down to those here on this forum today regarding widespread unhappiness with the Beretta/9mm and nostalgia for the 1911/.45acp? I suspect these tales don't even rise to the level of being anecdotal...

    At what age does a handgun become too old for a ccw?

    Also, if materials haven't changed, would you kindly give me a list of just the three or four most popular handguns utilizing polymer, titanium, and scandium-alloy from oh, say, 1914 up to 1975 or so?

    At what age does a handgun become too old for a ccw?

    You're not addressing this point: Why did nobody even try to bring one to market? Enough other really bizarre, ungainly, and ultimately unsuccessful guns have been manufactured (COP, anyone? Gyrojet? Dardick?) that just handwaving it off as "they wouldn't sell, so nobody even tried" isn't...

    At what age does a handgun become too old for a ccw?

    RE: ccw driving the development of small guns. Small guns have been in demand since the muzzle loading days. Short barreled revolvers have been around since revolvers came to be. They were, and are, popular in serious chamberings. There are mountains of small. 22, .25, .32, and .380 automatics...

    38 special or .380?

    I killed a couple deer with. 38 specials, because it was what I had at the time. It was a +P hollowpoint load from Federal. Don't remember any details on projectile weights and such as this was a while back. In any case, the. 38 dropped both of them where they stood. One with a neck shot that...

    45 ACP in old Webley Mk VI

    Don't beat up that old gun. They aren't making any more like it. Make or buy appropriate ammo...or relegate the gun to use as a display piece.

    At what age does a handgun become too old for a ccw?

    All that notwithstanding, there have been advances in metallurgy, materials, and manufacture in my lifetime that made guns a reality that would not have been possible when I was a kid. For an example, look at any of the lightweight, pocket-sized 9mm automatics. I am 52 and it was well into my...

    Using your carry knife?

    My edc is one of the Victorinox locking models, i've had it for a long time. IiRC, I bought it in 1988. On a daily basis, the screwdriver blades, corkscrew, and scissors are most likely to see use. The knife blade, which I keep screaming sharp, gets comparatively little use. There's almost...

    Pigs can be mean, people can be stupid

    Years back, a friend of mine got treed by a wild hog. He was hurting for money and thought killing a wild hog would be a good way to get some meat in the freezer. He went out with a .357 revolver, the only gun he owned, and six rounds of ammo...also all he owned. He nicked a boar on the first...
