    How to sharpen your knife

    I bought mine back in the early 90s, it was cheaper then. However I'd buy another if I had to replace it. Also it's been doing a great job for almost 30 years, so more than worth the price.

    How to sharpen your knife

    I've been using the Sypderco Tri-Angle sharpener followed by a leather strop since the 90s and gotten great results. https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/204MF/Tri-Angle-Sharpmaker-reg-/77

    Can Browning's Masterpiece Be Surpassed?

    I did some time in a MI unit in the military and that unit was a complete and utter charlie foxtrot. At Battalion, Brigade, Division level it's not the government but the military making use of their military intelligence units.

    Can Browning's Masterpiece Be Surpassed?

    I personally prefer the weight of a steel frame gun. I'd be happy if S&W would go back to making them like this again. Forged steel frames, high polish blue. No stupid lock. Technically no gun could/should be rated for +P+ since there is no SAAMI standard for it. SAAMI only recognizes +P.

    Can Browning's Masterpiece Be Surpassed?

    If only they made the Hi Power in a single stack .45 ACP, then it would be the finest pistol ever created.

    Can Browning's Masterpiece Be Surpassed?

    Hey you! I'll have you know I served in Military Intelligence when I was in the Army. To say Military Intelligence is an oxymoron is an insult to hardworking decent oxymorons everywhere. MI is a complete and utter Charlie Foxtrot.

    Armored backpack

    Those are some ridiculously priced backpacks By any backpack you like and put a Tactical Scorpion level IIIA body armor soft plate in it, look on Ebay. They are surprisingly inexpensive. A 10x12 rectangle is $60, buy three and they are only $55 ea. They are also very effective. I purchased a...

    Can Browning's Masterpiece Be Surpassed?

    Unfortunately you lose me with three items: polymer frame scandium slide proprietary trigger -My personal preference is for all metal frame guns, preferably steel, but I do like my P220. -Again I prefer a nice steel slide. I look forward to seeing the recoil system you would have to invent to...

    Should I carry a spare magazine

    Yup right at the front of the base plate. Were you doing reloads at slide lock prior to this? Letting it fall to the ground during reloads? How many reloads through the magazine would you estimate?

    Should I carry a spare magazine

    I used my 1911 Mil-Spec during the student and instructor class for the new CCW certification. Roughly 600 rounds between the two classes. The course requires you to reload from slide lock on multiple occasions. This puts an enormous amount of stress on the front foot of the base plate of the...

    Oh for a long gun

    36" barrel is awfully long for a Jäger rifle. They are also ill informed on the history behind the name of the Jäger.

    Oh for a long gun

    Pederosoli makes the best commercial blackpowder rifles, pistols, shotguns and also kits of the aforementioned. For specialized kits I would go to http://therifleshoppe.com/ The Rifle Shoppe has an enormous selection of kits available. You will have to wait though, they also have a decent...

    Dumb Dumb!

    I've done a similar thing. I was shooting my M1A off a weighted nylon bag rest and did not realize the small gas port just forward of the handguard was venting right into the rest. After a single magazine it had cut a slash right through the heavy nylon rest and weighted pellets started...

    How To Use the Hellcat RDP Compensator

    An important aspect of that comparison video would be the need to use ammunition that's really going to take advantadge of a compensator. Specifically +P as was used in the originally posted video. Also have some fabric immediately to the side of the pistol, just as it would be in a speed rock...

    Can Browning's Masterpiece Be Surpassed?

    The major thing that keeps me coming back to the 1911 as my primary carry gun is the ergonomics of it. It fits my hand better than any other pistol I've used. The thumb safety is perfectly under my thumb, I can reach the magazine release with a slight twist, slide in a fresh magazine and my...

    DeSantis 1911 holsters - now molded specifically for SIG profile slides.

    I would be very surprised to learn that holsters for SIG 1911s with the SIG slide profile out sell all standard 1911s holsters. Even SIG doesn't make all of their 1911s with that profile. As you said, weird.

    DeSantis 1911 holsters - now molded specifically for SIG profile slides.

    I agree they made oustanding products. Apparently just not for 1911 pistols anymore. Unless you own a SIG 1911. I spoke with a customer service rep after the email. Apparently the decision was made about a year ago to mold all of their 1911 holsters for SIG profile 1911s.
