thanks for all the responses!

any floridians out there know what the tallahassee police department carries as a sidearm? wife may be relocated there for work, and the PD website was lacking in what i wanted to know.

ive got a transformer. i wore it a good bit, and found the two removable packs tended to pop off regularly when it was loaded up pretty good. i put some cable ties through the loops to secure the bigger of the two on the pack "permanently", and keep the little one in my truck as a "stuff" holder. al...

a rear sight marked in arshins will be marked 400-3200.

never had any problem with my XD 9mm 4" barrel. i want the .45 now, too.

did anyone ever beadblast their XD mags to remove the shiny? im late for work right now and dont have the time to look.

I have a Ruger p345, and it's been 100% so far after several hundred rounds through it. The DA trigger pull is 'challenging', but the SA pull is quite nice...after a great deal of practice I can finally hit things with it too. :P i too have a p345. i like it. i shot an older bulky ruger a few years...

soft, fluffy and nice, after it was declawed.

ohio has a 20 hour, two day class. you dont shoot until your second day. then its eight hours of shooting, and about 250 rounds. or, if you had an honorable discharge from any branch of the US military, you can just turn in a copy of your DD-214 with your app, and presto chango, you have a CCP. i ha...

i have a walk in closet off of my computer room/office at home. in it, i keep my clothes hanging up. against the back wall, is a shelf system about two feet wide by two feet deep that runs to the ceiling. the bottom shelf/floor is all ammo, the second one up is half a dozen different brass rods, alu...

gunny- ive been off the site for a while lately, pretty much since posting about my ruger. i logged tonight to see if anyone had posted that they were the proud owners of the XD .45. lo and behold. there is a certain brand of reliable, super good pistol that i didnt personally like (even though it i...

I would suggest that the right person to ask about martial arts weapons would be the instructor for the extensive martial arts training you should be taking if you're planning on using martial arts weapons. that would be me. and even as an instructor for Sai, i STILL would NOT take them with me whe...

So how does it turn off once it hits someone? Is the battery and eletonics going to be able to survive going down a shotgun barrel i saw this on the history/discovery channel about two weeks ago. it has an internal circuit that detects (didnt go into detail) when the suspect hits the ground, and sh...

It seems every time Methos finds a good knife someone's got something bad to say about it. That's a fine find there Methos. You can never have too many little knives like that in your kit. I have three cheapo folders and pocket knives tucked into various pouches ontop of my three larger knives. ive...

the sai isnt a bashy-type weapon. they take too long to learn to use effectively. they are also HEAVY and dont function as another tool, other than ludacrus tent stake, so dont waste your time with them. get a baseball bat or three. and yes, there is still a blacksmith in okinawa who has a rather la...

bah. call your local V. Mueller Rep, 800-323-9088. thats their tech group, and they can put your wife or her buyer in touch with the sales rep for the area. you simply will NOT find better instruments than V. Mueller products. their german line of instruments are unbeatable. anyone who says otherwis...

i met a CSM who had (and still wore) his qualification badge of "Expert" in M-79. only one i ever saw.

I've heard that in order to get the digicam (see link) BDU's you have to be enlisted to get the actual ones made. Any particular misgivings about the Tru-Specs before I throw $100 at them? you can get the current ACU stuff from Ranger Joe's, and the 5.11 digital pattern. its fruitin' expensive. the...

mine are "8 1/2 R". i thought that was "regular". maybe its "narrow"? they are issue boots.

Cole.

i put griptape on my mouse for ease of use. my hands sweat a lot. actually, i sweat a lot everywhere. i should buy stock in antiperspirant companies.

Cole.

i spent two years training with sai. i taught several people some basic kata with them in the dojo i trained in. the owner of the dojo sent students to me when they had questions abou them. i have competed on the state, national and international level with them. mine were made in okinawa and cost m...

Everybody should have a 3 or 4 inch barrel .357 Magnum revolver from Smith and Wesson, Colt, or Ruger. Then get an XD. You're set for life. :wink: Then repeat as desired... I for instance have well over a half dozen revolvers and 2 XD40s. I'm set for life many times over. I need to stop buying hand...

It was a typo that I did not catch. Thanks for finding the error, folks. The Mosin Nagant rifles are chambered in 7.62x54, sometimes called 7.62x54R. . i hate to point out another typo, but 7.62x54 and 7.62x54R are two different types of ammo. go to www.theammunitionstore.com and check it out. they...

we called them "wheel grinders" in metals class. i figured thats what he meant, but i think this was one of the funnier misunderstandings ive seen in a while.
