My everyday carry knife for the last many years has been the Benchmade 630, which I absolutely love. Unfortunately, sometimes I’m a space cadet and forget where I put the knife and thus have no knife for the day. About a year ago I saw the SOG Specialty Knives and Tools TK-02 Toothlock Folder (1/2 [...]

Remember, always trust what you read on the net.
It amuses some of the information I find on the Internet. Just remember everyone, you should believe everything you read on the net. Especially if its a “how to” guide, and the authors bio sounds authentic – because they’ll know what they are talking about. (As a note, I make no claim that every piece [...]
Show
Show this weekend was actually decent. Its as small as I remember, but this time around it seemed to have more “useful” stuff, not a bunch of antiques. Granted there was only 2 decent tables of new guns, I did find a Beretta 96. If I had the spare money I would have bought it [...]
Crossroads of the West
Well, tomorrow the Crossroads of the West gun show is in Reno, in the convention center. While I’m not going to be impressed, or probably even finding anything of interest, I’ll go. I’ve found previously that this show is mostly collectibles, relics, and antiques. Oh well, maybe something of interest will show up (a Katana [...]

The short version is that they want to put a PIN number on your ammo and force you to enter that on your gun before [...]
New Toy
So So So, I went to Reno yesterday… And got me a new toy. I was looking for either a Kel-Tec PF9 or an XD9 SubCompact. I found one location that had an XD9 – and I really like the look and feel but I found an Kel-Tec P-11 which is almost as good. So… [...]
Gritty Trigger
I seem to have picked up some sort of crap in the trigger of my P22. I cleaned the gun very thoroughly after the last trip to the range. I’ve probably picked up something since then – I just don’t know how or where. I guess I should take the gun home tonight and clean [...]
Range
Went to the range yesterday with the goupil. It was alot nicer out today than it was last time I went to the “reno” range (reno being relative as it is about 30mn north). Wasn’t nearly as windy. I ran about 200 rounds through my P99 and 300 or so through the P22. Goupil also [...]
TGIF & MI3
TGIF, the resturaunt, not thank god its friday. It is sunday after all. Anyways, Guu and I were out to dinner on, strangely enough, friday. We were in Reno at TGIF, bored senseless. At one point in time while Guu was telling a story about something or other, something in the distance caught my eye. [...]
