      Knife sharpening service

      Not sure if this would interest you, but ever consider a SharpMaker, WickedEdge, or an EdgePro? The SharpMaker is pretty cheap, very effective, and very easy to use. The EdgePro takes it up a few notches to make sharpening almost an exact science...and I think the EdgePro takes sharpening to the...

      9mm pocket pistol - recommendations?

      My favorite gun in this size is the 239, which you already have. I like how it is slim, allowing it to print less. If I had to pick personally, it would be a 239 with the flared grip, a DAK or SRT and Heine Straight Eights. The G26 is a great gun, but IMO the thickness may not be desirable for...

      Review of the Pro-Tech TR-3 Integrity…Sebenza quality at half the price? I think so!…

      I have that very knife...it's a really neat knife!, especially for the money. To date, it is one of the best repro interpretations of the Chris Reeve Small Sebenza 21 ever made. The quality of the finish itself is just stunning and better than many knives costing a lot more. But I wouldn't...

      ~Maryland Shooters Forum Knife: Benchmade Griptilian AXIS —NEWEST THREAD w/ UPDATES!—

      While it isn't assisted, I think you will find AXIS to be faster than most assisted and most automatics. With the position of the lock bolt, it gives a lot more stability in opening/closing because of where it places the hand. Unlike assisted and autos, you can also close AXIS just as fast as...

      Taser attachment for handguns...think we're close to this?

      If you live in Maryland, I think you live in a reality which contradicts reality like the rest of us. 90% of US States live in reality in which they don't shaft over law-abiding citizens who defend themselves, their family, or other good people from criminals. They don't highly restrict...

      Cutlery Corner

      This. Their products are terrible and arguably unsafe. A single $50 Spyderco Delica will literally outlive 30 of their knives in a comparable size, and probably more. An $80 Delica in ZDP-189 steel will probably hold its edge longer than every single knife in the 40 pack, combined. They are...

      .45 ACP Defense Loads

      Everything I've read on the Critical Duty has been very positive. Not a lot of first hand experience, but I'd really like to be able to test it a bit myself one day. Backyard ballisticers seems to, as a general rule, get very consistent results...

      .45 ACP Defense Loads

      I suppose I should have used the term "restricted" as I did not realize that many exemptions applied which makes it more restricted than outright banned. Sorry! :o

      Taser attachment for handguns...think we're close to this?

      These are awesome answers to things I did not even think of. As I don't know a whole lot about firearms, you've touched on dimensions I would not have considered in a million years. Thank you! It also shows just how messed up the system is in terms of protecting those who legally defend...

      Taser attachment for handguns...think we're close to this?

      I see what you guys are saying and it makes sense. My concern comes more from a home defense sense, and due to legality above everything else. In some states, when lethal force is justified and used, the legal gun owner is protected from certain lawsuits which can ruin their life 100%. But to...

      .45 ACP Defense Loads

      I don't think it is easy to say as the way the usage of hollow point ammo has been historically received has been so varied. The purposes of JHPs: 1) create a bigger wound channel through expansion [versus an ice pick style wound of ball ammo] which ideally results in more trauma and faster...

      SHOW US YOUR BLADES

      Schrade Extreme Nitro Folder...I could not resist the looks at $22 as the styling is so unique. It is probably the worst knife I have ever purchased. Pro-Tech 2-inch Sprint Auto with custom inlay. Scorpion (not the knife)

      Taser attachment for handguns...think we're close to this?

      I didn't even think of it in that legal sense...I figured that it would be an accessory designed to sometimes prevent the use of lethal force in bad situations where lethal force would have otherwise been used. But what you are saying makes sense...they'll try to flip it and blame the good guy...

      Taser attachment for handguns...think we're close to this?

      I noticed the other day that Taser Intentional had updated the X26 designs with a model that is smaller, all-digital, more reliable, and more capable. It seems each new generation makes quite a form factor shrink. So that got me wondering...has anyone heard of a taser attachment that can go on...

      Concealed Carry Safety

      For me, always chambered whether a striker fired without safety, hammer with safety, hammer without safety, and when carrying SA, chambered, cocked, and locked. I look at in the sense that the added time required to chamber a round may be the difference in the final outcome.

      Best gun for shooting sideways and duel-wielding?

      Guess you can't see this then :) I'm actually a pretty fun person once you get to know me. I'm not sure exactly where it started, but I first knew of it in middle school when kids started bringing guns to school to 'make a point'. Then when that didn't work, they started stabbing people. It...

      ~Maryland Shooters Forum Knife: Benchmade Griptilian AXIS —NEWEST THREAD w/ UPDATES!—

      Not at this point. I want to wait a little while to get a close tally. I will make a thread in GB and WC sections to see if anyone else is interested. I am hoping some people who are LEOs/military/fire will have interest in possibly getting their coworkers in on it (it's a good knife and a good...

      My first unconstitutional ....

      I prefer 9mm over .40 personally as I shoot it faster and more accurately. I really like the 34/35 platform as I think it's a stupid fast gun, very easy to shoot, and incredibly accurate. While not a carry gun, it's an amazing range and home defense gun. The advantage of the full size 9/40...

      Best gun for shooting sideways and duel-wielding?

      That was my intent. I grew up in an area where many people saw guns as a way to be "cool" and used them for purposes of offensive intimidation, and to commit crimes. They incorporated reckless usage of a firearm into a reckless lifestyle. I have no respect for people in that category, and...

      Best gun for shooting sideways and duel-wielding?

      I by no means intended to single out any racial/ethnic group and apologize if it came off that way. I am not looking to get into a cultural debate over this...you have your personal take and I have mine, and we are defined by our experiences. I grew up in an area where behavior sometimes said to...
