    New Revolver Convert Signing In.

    I'm not new to guns, but have not shot too many revolvers, just my dad's 686 and an old Heritage .22 cal a few times. Right before Christmas I got an itch for a small revolver and ended up "impulsively" buying and S&W 442 over a Ruger LCR, and the S&W Bodyguard while browsing through the gun...

    Help from the collective knowledge of THR

    A friend of mine is looking to pick up a CCW piece. He's been without one for a little while and is looking to fill the void. He sent me an email asking for advice, but I don't have enough experience with the pistols he was asking about to give solid advice. Here is what he asked: "I am...

    I've started a new habit...

    ...a habit of buying a knife for my birthday over the last few years. Last year I picked up a Spyderco Spyderfly with VG10 blade. It's a pretty cool knife, and pretty unique as far a butterflies go. I carry it every once in a while, but with a blade over 4 inches and a 6 inch handle it's not...

    CDNN Dan Wesson Panther range report

    I'm so stoked... (atten:Tuner it's a 1911 thang)

    I've just purchased a membership to the 1911 club :D . I call CDNN and order a Dan Wesson Panther, along with some Coco Bolo ultra thin grips. I had been searching the forums and other sites looking at reviews and such for Dan Wesson guns and found a thread that said that CDNN was sold out of...

    .22 LR questions, price check, ect....

    I found an old used Ruger mKII at a shop the other day. It's the older model, it looks just like this one, with the mag release at the butt of the grip, old style grip panels, and it wasn't tapped for a scope mount. It did come with four mags and I'd say it's at about 92% give or take a little...

    What's the consensus on shoulder holsters?

    I was aimlessly surfing ebay for gun stuff and ended up looking at shoulder holsters. I found one the was made for guns with a 3.5"-4" barrel at a reasonable price so I put an impulse bid in for it. Well, yesterday I found it in my mailbox. I seemed like a reasonable and comfortable way to carry...

    Check out my new HBE Com3

    Here it is. Here is another pic. I'd say it does the job of helping to conceal the weapon quit well don't you? Ok, here is a pic to show that I really do have something in a holster under my shirt. I'd have to echo what every other review of Eric's work has said. This is a...

    Quick and dirty "cheap" knife review

    Well I got one of those "made by Spyderco" Byrd knives. I had been wanting a Hawkbill knife for a while and foUnd the "Crossbill" and thought bingo. The knife cost me $25 shipped, the box it was shipped in was nothing special, but I didn't buy it for the box. The Cross bill is rather wide...

    Talkin' about feelin' naked!

    The 10 anniversary of my wedding day rolled around on July 1st, so to celebrate we took a cruise. We drove from basicly Memphis to New Orleans and left from there and went to Cozemel and back. The trip was great, but what was bad was the only option I had as far a gun goes was to leave my CCW at...

    1911 people tell me what you think

    I ran across a used Kimber classic in a Pawn shop, the owner said he would take $450 for it. I would say that it was about at 90%. You could tell that it had a seen more than a few range days. If I got it I wouldn't be happy with it's appearance and would have to send it off to Tripp to be...

    Hope renewed (took the wife to the range)

    Tuesday (3-8) my wife and I happen to have the majority of the day off together while the kids where in school (a rare thing). She wanted to go and do something, the first thing she said was go shopping. My response was where and for what. Well she didn’t really have an answer, so I suggested...

    knife refinishing?

    I'm thinking of having the handle on my Spyderfly refinished in a dark blue so that it wouldn't stand out so much when I have it in my pocket; that and it would be unique. :p Anyway, has anyone else ever had a knife refinished? Anyone know who would be good to use?

    40.cal makes a bigger mess than 9mm

    I went to the range the other day with my Steyr S9 and S40. I shot 100 rounds of 9mm and 56 rounds of 40.cal WWB. Had a good time. :D When I got home and started cleaning them I notice something, the 40.cal was quit a bit dirtier than the 9mm. Both guns started out clean and I used the same...

    Dear Lord I hope it's fake

    Somebody tell me that this clip has been doctored. It's a real good justification for being picky about who you go shooting with. :banghead:
