Moped

I pocket carry it, with the original sheath. It fits just fine in the right front pocket of my khakis or switchbacks! It's lighter than my RAT1 folder, which I gave to my daughter's fiance.  Played with it enough that I can pull it out of the sheath while it's still in my pocket.  Of course, it takes me two hands to re-sheath it. :) 

Not the first time Ruger has turned.  They supported Clinton with his assault weapons ban and magazine restriction.

This is excellent news!!!

My unit was attached to the 20th Engineer Brigade during Desert Storm and that was the Combat Patch I got to wear afterwards.

I think Cooper had a weight limit on his version of a Scout Rifle.  Seems like it was 6.5 lbs or so.  He thought a Scout Rifle should be light weight and fast handling.  He also thought that in addition to the forward mounted scope, that irons sights should be part of the rifle, too.  Seems like most rifle manufacturers, are foregoing iron sights.  To me, it's unacceptable for any rifle not to have iron sights and I won't have one without them.

You got that right!  I don't even go into Gander anymore. All their stuff must be gold plated or something!

8 rounds of 2 3/4" 00 buckshot.

$620 seems a might high for a Beretta.  They are good dependable firearms, but they are awfully large for the caliber and not as concealable as a 1911, though neither is much fun to carry concealed.  If you like the 9mm round, then look at a Glock or a CZ75. If you love the .45, then buy a Rock Island and spend the extra cash you save on ammunition and a range membership. If you want to go a little higher end the look at a Springfield or a Ruger, Government model.  No need for special tools for takedown. The spring and plug were just fine in 1911s until someone got the brilliant idea to install guide rods in them.  Personally, unless you are able to shoot the ass off a gnat anyway, they don't make much difference to the average shooter. That being said, I own a Springfield Loaded with a full length guide rod in it, but it's not because some great shot.  It came on the gun. :)

My Benjamin Nitro, loves Crosman Premeir .22 hps.  I spend more time shooting my air rifle, than I do shooting my firearms.  It's nice to step out into the backyard and burn through 50 or so pellets without having to drive to and from the range.   BTW, I picked up my Nitro at a pawn shop for $70 out the door.  One of the best deals I've ever gotten at one!

First of all, if I ever spend over $1000 on any pistol, you all call the guys in the little white coats, cause I done lost my marbles.  There are some good 1911s for around $600 to $700 that will do whatever you want'em to do.  Spend the rest of the money on ammo and a couple of good holsters and a range membership, so you can practice with it!  :)

I belong to several groups on FB.  A couple are national ones.  I've found it to be a great place to see some interesting Mil Surplus stuff!  I also belong to some of the local ones.  Some of the items that are offered for sale are very good deals as DS pointed out.  Some are WAY high.  There is one guy selling a Mini-14 with a folding stock, the original stock and several mags for $1470.  And there was another guy that was selling a Hi-Point .45 for $250 and he wasn't budging on the price.  I find those offers amusing!

I got it for everyday carry.  I also looded at a couple of others, like the Becker Necker, CRKT Minimalist and SPEW and the Broker+ Rambler, but I've always wanted a Izula, so I went with that.  The Necker would have been my second choice.  I also like the looks and feel of the SPEW.  That would make a dandy little defensive blade.  You'd have no problem at all sticking into an attacker.  That is one sharp point.  But I wasn't that impressed with the steel 5CR15MoV.  But it's a wicked looking blade!

Drove over to SMKW this morning and bought an Esee Izula. I've been wanting one for several years and I got a gift card from work and decided to pull the trigger! Got the Olive Izula with the "survival" kit (comes with a magnesium fire starter, couple of different size key rings, a secure hook, some paracord, a belt clip, a whistle, cord lock and a Esee Survival Tips Card). I also picked up a set of gray canvas mircarta scales. This is a nice robust little knife in 1095!!!

  Good grief!  What are you cutting?  If you've worn out a VG10 blade three times, that some serious heavy duty work!!!

But, but the news all calls them unidentified paramilitary! How does a paramilitary gunman get the latest and greatest... unless they are Russian. These news reporters are all dumbasses. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

  Glad I got my Saiga several years ago.  Figure they are going to be hard to come by after this.

  Oh that sucked!  Did he realize what he did?

The difference is in the point.  A Kephart has a rounder point in the middle of end of the blade.  A Seax has a sharp angled point at bottom of the blade.

Saw a R.I.one go the other day on a FB site for $300. It was a government model. Needless to say, it got a lot of attention and was gone quickly. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

.38 is what I carry the most. I have .22s, 9mm, .357 mag and .45CAP. The .22s are all a bit big to carry, so are the .357, 9mm and .45. As Goldilocks said, the little .38 Colt is just right, to carry. It conceals well, is comfortable to carry and is a proven bad guy stopper. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

This is a concern of mine. If a rebellion were to be successful, then what ... Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

I really didn't expect them to just pack up and leave town.  This is too critical to their survival, not to go down swinging.  I think this will be played out in Washington D.C.  Sadly, I highly suspect that the current leadership in the Executive Branch of Government, will be highly favorable to their cause.

  Of course, the big difference between then and now, is the King of England wasn't able to call out the 21st Century United States Army to quell open rebellion in the Colonies.  That's sort of the "Big Ape on the Block" in all this talk.   The Redcoats were facing a rebel army that was well equipped for its day. And possibly the biggest disadvantage the Redcoats had, was the fact that the British Empire had a hard time reinforcing and supplying their army in the colonies, since they were at war with the French and had to cross an ocean to get there.   None of those things is a disadvantage for our Government. I think as bad as I hate to admit it, the Military will side with the Government, if nothing else than to keep order. Can't see a bunch over overweight mostly middle aged men taking up arms and pushing a rebellion to a successful conclusion facing the U.S. Military.  And if they did, what will the present Government be replaced with?  Who will run it, until new elections can be held, assuming it's decided to install another republic or democracy?  What will happen to the leaders of the rebellion, afterwards, if they aren't elected to Government office in these elections?  Will they take up arms against the new Government, like we are seeing in South Sudan?   A rebellion requires organization.  Where is that organization going to come from?  Do you think the U.S. Government would really allow such organization to take place without attempting to arrest the leaders, before they could hatch anything serious?  A rebellion requires secrecy, yet the news for the last year, as been full of just how secret private communications are in the good old USA. Name a national leader that would be willing to be the face and lead such a rebellion. Do you think such a person would be able to garner enough support to push a rebellion to success?    Lots of things to think about, when you talk rebellion.  It's just not about picking up your AR and hitting the door to take on the Government, and then coming home to supper afterwards.   We can talk about hanging elected officials from the nearest lamp post, or tar and feathering them and riding them out of town on a rail or marching on Washington in armed rebellion, all we want, but the fact of the matter is the odds of it being successful are pretty much nill.  The only way things will change is through the ballot and civil disobedience like we appear to be seeing in Connecticut.  If we fail there, then we lose.
