    POLL: Your favorite folder blade steel

    The s90v in my wife's Manix2 is the best cutter I've ever used in a folder. Only CPM-10v in a fixed blade I have cuts with similar aplomb.

    A THR knife PICTURE thread?!?!

    Craig Wheatley was kind enough to make us a couple of steak knives awhile back. Unfortunately life got in the way and only this week we had time to try them out. CPM 154 steel at HRC 60-62. Very comfortable walnut handles and they cut effortlessly.

    Top Shot - Season 3

    Great episode, would love to try both the carnival ride and the zip-line challenges. Odd how the show can still be great without the manufactured drama and the mandatory a-hole contestant.:rolleyes:

    12g Rackmaster vs Power Point

    I wish a local dealer sold Brennekes, but up north here no one stocks them.:( Since the fellow at Winchester said the Rackmaster stabilizer is "attached" to the slug, I had an idea. Since the stabilizer pokes into the base of the slug, maybe upon firing or impact the slug crimps around...

    12g Rackmaster vs Power Point

    In my case it fell out just from gravity. I saw no means of attachment other than the nose of the plastic stabilizer poking into the open bottom of the lead slug.

    12g Rackmaster vs Power Point

    This is an unscientific test, conducted in a hurry so the wife doesn't notice I borrowed her kitchen scale. I usually shoot the excellent 12 gauge 2 3/4 Winchester Power Point (X12PPVP) 1oz Foster slugs at 1700 fps, but Winchester came out with their Rackmaster (S12SR1) line and I thought I'd...

    My First Encounter with a "Fudd"

    In Canada we have the same problems. One example was a chap who was looking intently at rifles, but when I approached to help it turned out he was just waiting for someone to vent on: "My dad had over 40 guns, but when he died I turned them all over to the cops to be melted down because no...

    Oh oh; "questionable" shooting in Pasadena, TX....

    Thank goodness the old feller wasn't hurt. In my case, having been robbed before, the police told us they wouldn't bother showing up because it wasn't worth their time, plus they'd "never catch the robbers or recover the items." Way to raise the bar. If you decide work is for suckers and...

    (IN) Do you have a permit for that firearm?

    It's sad that we've accepted and resigned ourselves to fees and licenses so the government can tax the law-abiding yet again. Brow-beating by the local constabulary for owning a firearm for target practice/self-defence is also getting tiresome. Reminds me of...

    I need confirmation about Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.'s alleged gun ban.

    The police are lucky Goodyear exempted them and allow them to carry.:p

    Chinese guns are overrated.

    I overheard a customer who came in today to my local gunshop. He was complaining to the clerk that his made in china H&R NEF 12 gauge pump has an extremely loose barrel. The clerk pulled out another one, showed the customer how it was loose as well, then said: "You paid half as much as an...

    Bullets by prescription?

    Odd that people think they can legislate themselves into safety. After paying huge taxes for law enforcement and law creation we are still no safer from someone who decides to break these laws. I fail to see why people still believe there is some undiscovered magical law that will prevent all...

    Ammo selling out?

    The nightclubs up here sell coke for seven dollars a glass with 80% of it ice. When I watch people buying mixed drinks for 15 bucks a glass with just a splash of alcohol I realize I'm in the wrong line of work.:(

    Scary incident at a stop light

    Middle-aged lady approached passenger side at stop light. Asked for a ride WHILE she pulled the door handle. Thankfully door is locked, I pulled away from the whack-a-doo, and had a funny story to tell the wife. Late one evening I bring in groceries, head to bathroom. Wife gets last batch...

    What's wrong with my country?

    Cold War. War on Drugs. War on Terror. War for Oil. Gang War. Be afraid. Pay us more taxes to keep you "safe". Maybe it's time to start halving budgets, halving bureaucracy, paying off the deficit, then lowering taxes. Throw in concealed carry permits and no-duty-to-retreat laws all...
