I bought my No Dash 49 in the late 90's about $169. Refinished with a Teflon coating called Metal-life. It's been my EDC for about 20 years. I've never pulled it from my pocket, but reaching for got me out of hot water 3 times!

At my farmhouse I had a 30-year war with invading raccoons. I have shot them off the gutter several times, running on the ground a few times and once through narrow gap in the limbs straight up 35 feet (right between the eyes!)

I guess you could say they won, I killed over 200 and they are still coming.
