The Icom 7300 is what I have and will do pretty much everything you need for long range coms. It's pretty easy to use.

I'm a medical professional with years of experience and I recently took a stop the bleed course. You know why? I won't have a fully equipped trauma bay with me, wherever I go. I needed to brush up on how to do it with resources limited to what I can carry with me. Everyone who shoots, should...

Yes, but I need to do more. The next thing I need to take is a holster use class. Drawing from concealment is not as straightforward as it might seem and I would like to learn how to do it safely and effectively.

Paging Hannibal Smith

I've posted this one in another thread, but I think it's my coolest. It's a 9.5" damascene blade, made in Wazirabad Pakistan. The importer is an author I enjoy reading, Michael Z Williamson. Sort of a mini gladius form, I like it.

Was just coming to post that, we hit three sites.

I have a couple of PSA Daggers, one micro that are Glock clones. They do a pretty good job and the micro is my usual carry, although it's a rarity I actually do. Most of the places I go you can't carry (doctors office and such) or at least I honor their no firearms policy. I agree with the...

Craft Holsters is where I got my performance center holster. They happened to have mine in stock, but I understand it can take a bit for them to make things that aren't.

I always liked the quote, from my favorite author, the best. “Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost...

Did that already, no joy. Wish it would have worked.

Another gunsmith has diagnosed the problem as "Sear Flutter". He has an M&P that does the exact same thing and has not found a definitive solution, although he has found several "fixes" on the net.

I have a couple of milk crates holding mine, AR in one and AK in the other. The pistol mags are all in color coded mag carriers.

This is what the gunsmith said he thinks is happening. The striker is wobbling and is canted 5-10 degrees off vertical and is intermittently hitting the firing pin stop. Is that something that is normal to 10mm MP 2.0s as far as the striker goes? He hasn't worked on a 10mm S&W before. We...

Yeah I know on the recoil spring and reset, I was also trying to test the heavier spring to solve another issue. The gun tends to have random failure to feeds on hotter ammo, but I didn't notice it on either spring this time. The reset issue was kind of drowning out everything else it was so...

Been concentrating on 10mm lately although I got in some 5.56x45 too. The 10mm I was starting from scratch as I just added the caliber to my collection and I must say I'm liking its performance so far. I don't like the problems with the MP 2.0 10mm I'm having, but I don't think they are...
