How 'bout this combo? 2-1/2" M66-1 with a S&W model 6042 Swing Blade Boot Knife.

My 3.5" Modified 1934 production 38/44 Outdoorsman with stag stocks
The fellow who owned it was a law enforcement officer who desperately wanted the new 3.5" Registered Magnum, but it was too expensive so he modified this one. Luckily he did not ream out the chambers!

Hard Working Team
This team was my deer hunting go-to for several years, and was responsible for my very first handgun whitetail. This is a 6" M25-9 .45 Colt, paired with a Rigid belt knife.
Interesting thing about this gun. I really wanted to use it with a hard-hitting heavy cast bullet, something in the 300 gr. range, and it had promising accuracy with the first load I worked up. Problem was, at 50 yards with the rear sight buried, it was shooting about 8 inches high. So, I went online to the Cast Boolits forum and posted a request for help. In short order, I got a reply from none other than John Taffin himself, suggesting that I either, 1.) have a gunsmith build up the front sight, or 2.) switch to a lighter bullet. Well, I wasn't too anxious to alter my all-original .45, so I started messing around with lighter bullets. Eventually, I found a load using a 225 gr. JHP that printed exactly at point of aim, at 50 yards with the sight still buried. That combo has accounted for a substantial amount of venison.

Great.
I have 2 Gerber Frisco Shivs: one is a double-edge like that one, and one is a single-edge. Never carried/never used.

My only true, full custom handgun. SS/Cerekoted Fusion 9mm, put together by Bill Laughrige at Cylinder & Slide about 15 years ago, after I asked him to build me a 1911 in that caliber for my new interest in IDPA. I went with his suggestions, including a gold dot front sight. He machined out the innards of the slide to lighten it, so it cycles incredibly fast. It is slick and smooth like a custom 1911 can be when built by a master gunsmith. By the way, about 7 years ago, I bought and rebuilt his 1952 3/4 ton M37 Weapons Carrier. The knife is my only Randall.
