I'd go for the F1 in satin finish and get the kydex sheath from survival sheath systems, in OD green. Might as well get the army model Swedish fire steel too. It's fun spending other peoples money.

That looks like a great little survival knife, I presume batoning the knife's butt is not recomended, since the handles are nylon. Would the knife withstand batoning the spine? It dosn't strike me as a spook knife either, they're more into concealment, sleave & lapel daggers, belt knives...

Fair enough, I was just wondering if it would be of any value to a civillian who uses a bag/briefcase and who may be caught up in a convience store/robery scenario. Obviously not.

What are your thoughts on incorporating ballistic protection into bags or briefcases? Obviously you can't haul a briefcase around 24/7 but it does offer protection without discomfort. It would seem sensible to introduce its use into ones SD drills, if this was a serious proposition...

Lee Marvin too, todays "stars" don't bare comparision the guys listed above were men's men, not pretty boys.

The puukko style does seem to be the ultimate survival knife, something that could work in a pinch though, would be the CRKT AG STING, it has several features compatible with the mission of a survival knife, small fixed blade, shock/impact resistant carbon steel, double edged, one of which...

Thanks for correcting me Evan, Merc build quality definately took a nose dive during this period though, it seems more than coincidental. A lot of the current problems with vehicles even premium ones, stem from the amount of eletronic gadjets being incorporated. Personally I'd love a...

Pareto principle & high quality folding knives, you got to love that!

Mercedes always over engineered their vehicles, developing a reputation as the very best. Then Chrysler bought Mercedes Benz and imposed it's culture of corner cutting & penny pinching upon them. As for the best handgun, a very subjective topic, my vote would go to the BHP, Service...

The ultratech seems to be the best bang for the buck, personally, I don't see the point of a single action OTF, a dual action is more fun and dosn't nessecarly require a safety catch. A balisong gets an equal or higher CDI score IMHO.

Quote from HSO: Third, you've got to have the will to use it. Are you willing to cut and stab another person. Not just brandish a knife, but actually sink it into another person or slash them deeply enough to sever a limb. That's what we're talking about. HSO, I would have actually...

Converted replicas could only be reasonably expected to withstand .22lr ammo, it is possible to convert the brocock replica revolver to .22lr. It's not very attractive to criminals though. Re-activated guns are a far more viable option for gangs, a few years ago 2 black girls were gunned...

Here is some video demonstration of my two suggestions for public self defense in a non-permissive environment. Any kind of dedicated or marketed sap, be it wallet, glove or cap, would be considered an offensive weapon. i.e. illegal. Mini Maglite Defensive Cane

Sorry about the slightly provocative "you English" remark, no offense was intended, just an off the cuff thing. Actually, I have been to London, what I said was MOST gun crime was drug related black on black, which it is. The TV show Ross Kemp on gangs London episode will confirm this. It's...

I wouldn't worry too much about shooters, that appears to be mostly drug related black on black. Strangely this phenomenon only developed after legal handgun ownership was banned. Out in public, your options would be limited to non-dedicated devices, basically a mini maglite and a cane. If...

I would agree that its civillian utility is limited, its real purpose is in the military theatre. I would suspect that civie deposits were just a way to fund development, makes sense, no interference from military committees that don't know what they want. I can see the high speed guys...

Hey Guys, I wonder if you could answer a few questions for me. 1) Commercial .308 Win & .32 ACP have a unit cost of $0.65 & $0.26 respectively, what are your unit costs when reloading these calibers, excluding set-up costs. 2) How much reloaded .32 ammo do you put through your pocket...

I was just having a bit of a lurk in the NSW section of socnet and came across the below. You can lurk over there, just don't bother them with silly questions. ------------------------------------------ quote from Matchanu re: S&W 686 It's a 6 shot revolver, stainless steel, .38/.357 magnum...

Good article, you came across very well. I know what you mean about the title but the upside is, it will grab more peoples' attention. You can tell Dr Bruce likes pocket pistols. I would consider the techniques reality based rather than just common sense.

Glad you liked the info guys, it did take a while to get it together. Please feel free to spread the pics & text around, that's what the net is for. We all know & accept that they're not practical but these gadgets captivate the little boy inside us all. That little boy can be satisfied to a...
