      Beretta 92FS

      Not a bad gun, but I've never understood why folks wouldn't opt for a Taurus PT-92 AR. Back in the 80s it was just as reliable as my Beretta, but not as accurate. Then in the early 2000s I got this stainless Taurus and, to my utter amazement it was every bit as accurate as my Beretta, plus it...

      Who thought this was a good idea?

      Even the price is ugly! Reckon Colt figures it can pretty much price their .357s anything it wants. Of course, after an actual nuclear world war, you'd have to trade two Pythons to get one Ruger Security-Six! Which reminds me, did Colt ever fix that skinny little hand/pawl issue on its new...

      S&W Model 13-1

      I bought a S&W 13 in the late 70s and wish I'd kept it, but I swapped it for a Ruger Security-Six. Back then I was new to handguns and there was a gun writer out in Utah by the name of Clair Reese, who had reviewed the Security-Six, then decided to sell it. He also had been sent a pair of...

      The Blacklist w/James Spader

      Yes, Lizzie never lived up to the hype. She died three seasons too late. Also, Red shouldn't have dropped the hammer on Mr. Kaplan. And once he did, he should have made sure she was dead. Spader is a superb actor. He, Robert Downey, Jr. and Halle Berry got on my radar when I first saw them...

      The Blacklist w/James Spader

      One last note. For those who stopped watching the show before the last season, I think the final episode is worth watching. Before leaving the villa inn for his walk, he leaves his Hi-Power on the dresser in its holster.

      Best steel for your EDC

      VG10 and AUS10A are good knife steels. Cold Steel has some great knives with serrated blades, but there's no point in buying super steels (S35VN, CTS-XHP) if you're going to buy a CS serrated blade. Years ago I bought a used Voyager (early, early model) on eBay. Back then I didn't know what I...

      Has anyone used Parkville Knife & Tool Sharpening (just north of Baltimore City)?

      No, but when I saw the subject title, I said to myself, “I don't think think I've sharpened any knives north of Baltimore City.” I've always respected people who can sharpen knives. Some will drop $300 on expensive water stones, then they put beautiful edges on knives with bevels inside of...

      OTF and into my thumb.

      “Dammit, yourself, Jim, I'm a doctor, not an archaeologist!” When I was 14, I cut myself with a Boy Scout knife. I was cutting a piece of wood when the knife caught in the wood and then snapped, cutting deep into my finger. Blood went everywhere. Knives are underestimated by anti-gunners. They...

      .22LR semi-auto which brand ?

      Oh, they're not bad. If you take a gun like the Raven .25ACP and have it drilled and tapped to take a 4x scope, have the barrel extended to take a muzzle break recoil compensator, buy a set of Hogue grips with a cut-away and extended safety, a 50-shot drum magazine and a professional combat...

      moving a 600 lb safe

      The best way is to build an extension to your house around the safe. The real question is what do you do with the bloody thing when you're ready to move away from this wretched state? As many have already pointed out, the best way to see Maryland is in the rearview mirror! In all seriousness...

      .22LR semi-auto which brand ?

      Is it that teeny double action Beretta like the one on the right? It gave me fits with the Remington Thunderbolts. Jammed at least once ever magazine full. Meanwhile, my Jennings J-22 was eating them left and right for three magazines-full, then it would jam. If I took it apart and brushed...
    12. Taurus PT92 C

      Question by 'Cold Steel' on classified ad 'Taurus PT92 C'

      Hi...the pistol appears to have some wearing around the muzzle on the right side. Is that just the light? Thnx.

      Anyone ever send knives back to buck for repairs?

      I'm no steel snob, but I really don't have much use for 420 steels, including 420HC. Why would any knife manufacturer ever use it? Oh, wait...I know one reason.

      Best steel for your EDC

      I have tubs of knives of varying types and steels and after carrying all sorts of them, my favorite knife steel is AUS8A. I know it's behind the times to make such a statement, but I've never had any problems sharpening it, maintain it or using it on a day-to-day basis. Years ago, in my early...

      Beretta 92FS

      People certainly have their druthers regarding guns. I love the Beretta 9mm design and could never afford the stainless version. That's why I got the Taurus version. It is a bit flashy, but it is substantially less expensive and the Taurus has a better safety system (hammer drop and cock 'n...
