      Non-snarky explaination of why Sabenzas are cool

      Sebenzas are great because they're so precisely made, as Dean has so eloquently explained. However, I'd only rate Crucible S35VN as a high end steel, and not a very high end steel. S35VN is very good, but it's eclipsed by Crucible's own S90V and S110V, Carpenter's XHP, Uddeholm's Elmax, and...

      BLADE SHOW

      I'll hopefully be there volunteering with Knife Rights again.

      Buying a new handgun

      Get the one that you like mag release best on. As much as it pains me to say it (not an HK fan) they're both good guns.

      looking to buy my 1st handgun and I got a couple questions

      A Glock's striker is about 60% cocked from the slide cycling. The trigger pull cocks it the remaining roughly 40%, so it actually is DAO. The DAO mechanism in 3rd Gen S&Ws, Para LDA, HK LEM, and SIG DAK are hammer fired mechanisms that operate similarly. If you get a failure to fire you...

      looking to buy my 1st handgun and I got a couple questions

      I've owned Glocks, a Ruger SR, an FN FNS, S&W M&Ps, and have pretty good experience with Springfield XD pistols. Of all of them, the FNS has the best trigger out of the box. I'd put Glock and XD as a tie for second best. I actually like the Ruger SR trigger better than the M&P trigger, but...

      Help me like my Kimber again!

      That's ridiculous. 1911s are safe to carry with a round chambered, hammer down or cocked. SAA's aren't. With very exceptions, every successful locked breech handgun since the 1911 has copied Browning's tilt breech locking mechanism. Other than frame material (and you can even get plastic and...

      New ZT Object of Lusting

      They've announced the new 0808 Rexford Cesium based folder - http://zt.kaiusaltd.com/knives/knife/zt0808. I was going to buy a the Hinderer designed 0562 or 0562CF last year at Blade, but those weren't even available, so I bought the Rexford Singularity based 0801. If ZT actually produces the...

      Help me like my Kimber again!

      Sorry, I can't like any 1911 without a conventional bbl bushing, and I can't like any 1911 with a firing pin safety. Sell it and get a Colt Wiley Clapp Commander. Or, if you must have a rail, get an STI Duty One LT 4.

      Armalite Unviels Re-Vamped AR Line

      The arm brace pistols certainly seem optimistic with the legal cloud that's hanging over those now.

      Prepare to look up...to see if the sky is falling

      So, I'm assuming they do, but does anyone know for sure if the TP45 / CT45 will also take 1911 mags?

      Walmart Be Ready Bag

      The lifeboat rations are the part Yeager placed the most value on, and I agree with that. However, known quality US made rations with same calorie content and 5 year shelf life can be purchased from Amazon for $25. The included alkaline batteries are worthless in extreme heat and cold, and D...

      9mm AR BCG question

      The 9mm AR is blow back, not gas operated with a locking bolt in the carrier, so it does use a simple bolt in place of the BCG. The Colt design that everyone has copied is designed to pick up a round from either seed of a conventional twin feed SMG type mag. If your dedicated 9mm lower uses...

      Who here doesn't own an AR and why?

      Duly noted, and thank you.

      Who here doesn't own an AR and why?

      No, but I am trying to get to 50 posts so I can PM the other folks in MSG-3. However, I'm not going to make lots of posts that don't contribute to the discussion just to do that. I'm a mod over at THR, so I'm all too familiar with folks making one liners (heck, one worders) just so they can use...

      New Magpul 60-round Drum Mag

      But then I'd have to buy an AK from you to use them with.

      AK-74 Comes Apart

      A milled 7075-T6 aluminum receiver would have held together and better protected the shooter. The pressure would have escaped out the ejection port and through the mag well after also blowing out the mag. That video is an excellent demonstration of why you should never use the magazine of any...

      Who here doesn't own an AR and why?

      [COLOR=#4B5238]I wont flame you, but i will offer a different opinion. Thankfully no one is yet forcing us to own guns we don't want. That's excellent. The M-16 is the longest serving rifle in US military history. The AR-15 and clones have been on the market for 50 years (give or take). These...

      Carrying full size large frame Glock

      Hohn, if you're still shopping I've great experience with BPT's Standard OWB holster. I occasionally still use a Fobus paddle for short periods when easy on/off is a priority, but the BPT OWB easily conceals under an untucked Polo shirt in the summer.

      Eezox gun oil

      I wouldn't consider Eezox an oil in the lubricant sense. I do like it as a rust preventative exterior coating though.

      Propane shortage

      That's not price gouging. That's demand pull inflation. That I didn't know, and researched to verify. Apparently what we commonly refer to as simply "propane" is actually a blended LP gas. And, if I understand correctly, the blend has more butane in summer and less butane in winter. Good to know.
