I am wondering what would be a good leather holster and gun belt for woods carry of a S&W 317 Kit Gun? I want to get one soon and would like something nice to carry it in. I'm leaning strongly towards cross-draw, and strongly away from any type of shoulder holster. Also, a way to carry extra .22...

I'm interested in learning how to handle (best word I could think of) a balisong. I'd like to maybe carry it EDC, but am more interested in learning just as something new to learn. Is there anything online or perhaps a book I can find to learn this? There aren't any instructors around here...

A local Sportsmans Warehouse has a Smith & Wesson 317 Kit Gun for $569. I'm thinking about picking it up, and am interested in what, if any, improvements can be made to the gun. I am also interested in any reccomendations for a leather gun belt and holster for it, as I'd like to take it out in...

I spotted a used Smith & Wesson 6906 9mm at Gander today. It comes with four extra magazines and is listed at $399. Can anyone tell me about this gun and if this is a decent deal or not? It looked to be in good shape, but I didn't inspect it.

I read something on the Beretta forum about coloring in the stamping on pistols. I think it looks nice and I'm thinking about doing it with my XD, but I'm not sure if I can do this to slide without having color everywhere on the slide or if the slide will even take the color well. Does...

Does anyone know of any company that makes a .22LR conversion kit for the Springfield XD? Are there any in the works? Thanks 45Guy

I'm thinking about getting this knife for possible EDC or woods carry. Is it worthwhile, or not? It would just be general purpose or SD if neccessary. Any opinions or suggestions are welcome. Thanks, 45Guy

How often do you check your Home Defense weapons? Check to see that they are loaded, that the magazine/cylinder is functioning properly, and that the laser or light(s) you have for them are working? I check my SP101 to make sure it's loaded, that the cylinder rotates, the rounds drop free...

Does anyone have any experience with this knife? I'm interested in getting one, but there are none around here for me to fond...er, handle:) It looks to be well built, and I really like CRKT knives, plus the looks are a nice bonus. Any input is welcome. Thanks, 45Guy PS. Or should I...

I saw one of these for a very good price at a local sporting goods store, and I am wondering if they are good shotguns? I am interested in just using this as a hunting shotgun. I don't have the money for a 870, otherwise I would get one. thanks for the info

You guys & gals here in Non-Firearms Weapons are bad influences on me, and I'm pretty sure on each other too. I just picked up a Case Sodbuster Jr. (very nice, extremely sharp) based on what I read here, and I have a half page list of knives that I'm interested in getting at some point. All...

I've gotten that question or statement (however you take it) from more than a few people. That or more usually, the surprised look, and "Why do you carry a knife like THAT?" That's usually after I pull out my CRKT M16-10Z with half-serrations and a Tanto point. I usually get that said to me...

I'm looking at buying a new pocket knife for my Dad. I had given him a Winchester knife I had gotten cheap (like $5) as a replacement for his knife which he had broken. He gave it to me today to take home and sharpen. I tried to cut a Post-it note, and it wouldn't even cut!!! He had told me it...

I've seen many people on this forum and many others talk about carrying not only a weapon, but the attitude to use it. I thought maybe this story might be a good example of the attitude that will get you out of a tight spot. Last night my uncle, who is in his mid-60's and on his fourth bout...

Semiauto's for Home Defense? I've seen a lot of mention of pump shotguns and side by side's lately, but almost no one mentioning semiauto's. If you use a semiauto, what do you use? Is it reliable for you? What ammunition functions best? PS: We like pictures:D

I've been looking at AK rifles, and have seen these pistols around, and I have a few questions about them. I'm just looking at using it for plinking, and maybe urban chaos type stuff (ie riots etc.) and that's why I might consider one of these. Is the recoil managable? What is the advantage...

I will be going duck hunting for the first time this fall, and I am thinking about getting a 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun. Does anyone have any reccomendations? I've heard that the 11-87 is a good shotgun. I like Remington products, but am open to any suggestions EXCEPT for Benelli. I...

Is it just me, or are there a lot more people replying to threads that are saying "this thread is ridiculous" or "this is nonsense." Why do these people insist on ruining the thread? Or at least bringing down other people's posts or replies, it serves no purpose. These threads are mostly...

If you were an LEO in YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD what service weapon would you carry? Personally, I would carry my XD-9 4" with standard load of mag in the gun & two on the belt, plus a back up revolver, probably something in the S&W X42 flavor. My town isn't huge ( about 73,000) but it's getting...

Have you ever seen or heard of a LEO carrying a sidearm that was odd, or not common for their department? A local police sergeant carried (he's retired now) a stainless Beretta 92, where all other patrol officers carry Glocks here. My grandfather told me of a time when he was up in the...
