      HB 1634 Knife Law Preemption

      Indiana knife law preemption has been introduced this year - https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2015/bills/house/1634. This bill would preempt local regulations on the possession, carrying, transport, sale, transfer, and manufacture of knives. School's would have an exemption to prohibit carrying...

      Instead of a Glock Single Stack 9mm...

      No, the last thing I wrote was: "I'm probably one of a too small minority of customers for it to be profitable though." As in, I'm acknowledging that Glock won't ever make such a pistol because they wouldn't sell enough of them. My alternative is to pay more for a 10mm 1911 and mount an optic on...

      New ZT Object of Lusting

      Do they make them in 2X/3X? 2X with elastic waist perhaps? If so, can you provide a link?

      Instead of a Glock Single Stack 9mm...

      I want a single stack 10mm MOS Glock. It seems everyone and their brother who likes Glock pistols wants them to make a single stack version of the 19 or 26. The introduction of the Model 42 satiated some, made others hopeful for a 9x19 version, and drew the ire of the rest for making that...

      What is a good knife for stabbing people?

      Hey, I resemble those remarks. Now only if I was as fast as a college football defensive lineman.

      New Nano 9mm carbine

      I don't know if you're the only one, but I think you're in the minority. We live in the age of optics. Most centerfire turn bolts don't come with iron sights, and it's been that way for several years. It's been about seven years since I've worked in a high volume locally owned gun shop, and even...

      Pleasant surprises

      I totally forgot the Coast FX-416. They're Chinese imports, but Home Depot had them for $7 in the stocking stuffers section before Christmas, and they still have them online for that price with free shipping to the store. I could live without the serrations, but otherwise it's great. It's a big...

      What is a good knife for stabbing people?

      From a purely academic standpoint, look at the Fairbairn-Sykes and Applegate-Fairbairn fighting knives as a reference.

      Pleasant surprises

      The Kershaw Thermite is the $30 or less (Amazon price fluctuations) knife I've been most impressed with. The HK by Benchmade Pika series are close behind. The Buck Spitfire isn't as nice as the first two mentioned, but it's US made, and they were $30 at Wal-Mart. I'm not sure they're worth the...

      Lost my Spyderco Manix 2 -- Need a new EDC -- Help!

      rhino, did you get the all steel Cryo, or the G10 front scale Cryo? I found the standard all steel Cryo to be too slick, and ended with a Thermite instead.

      Non-snarky explaination of why Sabenzas are cool

      I agree, Lionsteel is a great manufacturer. And now you've reached the other side of the coin, which is materials used at that level of manufacturing quality. The DPx knives have D2 blades, which is a lower cost and easier to heat treat steel. Even then, the DPx knives with Ti front and rear...

      "Meh." I'm Not That Impressed by the Knife or Brand That You Think is Awesome.

      Spyderco - Lower than meh.

      Non-snarky explaination of why Sabenzas are cool

      If it's not a fact then it's a far better supported opinion than yours. If Spyderco's higher end knives were on par with CRK Spyderco would win manufacturing quality awards at Blade. But they aren't, so they don't. One could say the same about Zero Tolerance, whose knife I chose over anything...

      HELP WANTED (Need work done? Post here)

      Can anyone recommend a good Ford mechanic in the Bedford area? I need to replace a couple parts on my Mazda Tribute (just an escape with different sheet metal) and I'm debating doing it myself vs. getting an experienced mechanic to do it.

      Non-snarky explaination of why Sabenzas are cool

      No, they aren't. Spyderco has won a single Manufacturing Quality Award, and that was back in 1988. CRK has won the award 13 of the 15 years from 2000-2014. Spyderco makes good knives, but they aren't CRK knives. I also don't think Taiwanese knives are the value you think they are. Spyderco's...

      thinking about getting an M1A, need input

      Emotion aside, here are the facts: An AR-10 is easier to maintain, generally more accurate out of the box, far easier and far cheaper to accurize, and will handle a much wider pressure range of loads. An AR-10 is also far easier to scope. All of that said, the M1A/M14 just feels better in the...

      For The Collectors With Really Deep Pockets

      The Lion Steel TM1 TiDust with Direct Metal Laser Sintering (basically a form of 3D printing) handle is now available. They only made 100, and Knifecenter and BladeHQ have at least one each for $1700.
