    .22 plinker pistol suggestions

    I have a S&W Model 41, with both the 5 1/2" and 7" barrels. I also have an early Browning Buckmark. And I used to own a Ruger Mk II with a bull barrel and target sights. I never cared for the Ruger, but it really was a personal thing - how it felt in my hand. I like the Browning, and would...

    Recommend a Handgun

    This is like asking whether a guy prefers blondes, brunettes, or redheads. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone is convinced that their opinion is the best one. And they're all good . . . . My personal preference, if I had to pick one and only one, is a SIG/Sauer P229 in .40 cal. Significant...

    sharpening knives

    Another vote for Edge Pro, if cost is not an issue. I have the Professional model, but that is because I'm a tool freak and I tend to indulge myself. The Apex is more cost-effective. But, as several others have noted, if you can't leave it set up, it is a PIA for a quick once-over. I also...

    Super Thin Dress Watch w/Day-Date and Auto Mvmt...

    There is a pretty broad selection of higher-end watches on this site . Some of these items get kind of pricey, but this will give you a pretty good idea of what is currently out there. They are located in the Washington, DC, area. I have dealt with them a few times over the years, and have...

    Sig P229

    [ QUOTE ] Samoan said: I have seen a couple 15 rd mags going for really astronomical prices. -Fern [/ QUOTE ] How much is "astronomical"? I have quite a few of the pre-ban, high cap, factory mags, most still in factory wrappings. I'm not interested in selling, but insurance is an issue...

    Sig P229

    I have a pair of SIG 229s in .40. It is a truly outstanding weapon which you got at a great price. I paid quite a bit more for mine, which I purchased new. I also have a 226 in 9mm, and a 220 in .45. My wife has a 228 in 9mm. Did I mention that I like SIGs? A lot? No? I like SIGs a lot...

    Stave Puzzles?

    I have a friend who has several of them. I played with a couple of them one night when my wife and I went to a dinner party at their home. I am not a fan of jigsaw puzzles, nor is my wife. But these were very, very nice. The quality is definitely there. And the puzzles themselves have...

    Help! Plz recommend a Hawkbill bladed knife....

    Well, I stand corrected. Those are hard to beat price points.

    Help! Plz recommend a Hawkbill bladed knife....

    In a folder, I don't think you can get there from here at that price point. But, if you are willing to consider a fixed blade, not a folder, and willing to go $125, there's this item on clearance - 4" L6 steel bill hook blade, full tang construction. Brass pinned Micarta scales with lanyard...

    What's A Good Paper Shredder?

    Re: What\'s A Good Paper Shredder? You used to be able to buy civilian version crosscut shredders that did about 1/8" x 3/16", but the last time I went looking, about six months ago, all I could find were small strips in various sizes. As paulr suggests, smaller is better. But smaller also...

    What's A Good Paper Shredder?

    Re: What\'s A Good Paper Shredder? The brand names and model numbers change pretty frequently. I am currently on my 5th shredder (at home) in about 15 years. What you really want to pay attention to are certain features. You want cross-cut - accept no substitutes. You want the ability to...

    Sebenza or RSK Mk1

    [ QUOTE ] this_is_nascar said: Thanks Jim. I was probably a bit overzealous with that comment. Obviously, any knife will need care and maintainance (yes, this includes cleaning) to function properly and for a good long time. I keep looking, but haven't been able to find any Nascar/Racing...

    Sebenza or RSK Mk1

    Get one with wood inlays. The classics cost less with inlays because they aren't limited editions. But the inlays do thicken the handle up a bit, if you are looking for that. The clip comes off. And if the indent where the clip was attached bothers you, CRK sells an insert (at a ridiculous...

    Pouch for Small Sebenza

    I bought a knife a while back done by a Canadian knifemaker named Thomas Haslinger. Some of his nicer folders come, or at least came, with pouches made from fishskin leather - salmon, perch, carp, and so on. I think he got the pouches made here - http://www.snakepit-enterprises.com/...

    ? about knife locks

    I've dealt with Plaza a couple of times. I found them to be reliable, and they usually have a pretty good selection. True North is good, too.

    ? about knife locks

    Sebenzas are guaranteed for the lifetime of the original purchaser. Should the lock fail in normal usage, which I seriously doubt, they will make it good. Period. They will also, at reasonable cost, cosmetically refurbish your knife, and it will look as good as the day you bought it. What I...
