As a Christian I believe that every single human being is capable of redemption, BUT ONLY if they are willing to acknowledge their need for it, and genuinely desire and pursue it. This lady appears...
Glad he survived, was able to buy time for other police to arrive, and save the lives of both intended victims. Also glad he is able and willing to share the lessons with others.

If you do not plan on using the safety, get a version without the safety. At some point, that safety will be in a position you do not expect. If you habitually deactivate the safety, it is no big...
Recently acquired one of these:

I have no personal experience with this, but what little I have read seems good. I would like to try one of the kits myself at one point.

That makes much more sense. Thank you.
That looks like an accident waiting to happen. Did people actually carry a knife like that?
If cost is a concern, consider that the difference in price between the Springfield Mil-Spec guns and some of the Sprngfield 1911's with more modern sights, beavertail grip safeties, and extended...
I am starting to view mechanical watches and 1911’s similarly: you have to know something about how they work, what makes them not work well, and how to get them working better to fully appreciate...
Years ago, Sal Glesser of Spyderco briefly participated in a conversation on the former Self Defense Forums on this issue. The amount of force a lock can withstand is absolutely something Spyderco...
I agree with Chris above. In most cases a properly sharpened plain edge will do what needs to be done, and is easier to sharpen. However, I do like my H1 steel Spydercos with serrations, which I...
I think you will find that a 1911 with standard grips will fit a wide variety of hands quite nicely.
That thinness is also an asset if you ever do carry it. A full size 1911 is surprisingly easy...
Nice find! I suggest keeping the titanium firing pin unless you experience problems after the other changes. I use a titanium firing pin and extra power firing pin spring in my Kimber, and have had...
Not yet, but at some point I should download the patent and read it. My initial impression is that it has at least some of the good qualities of the Puzzle Lock.
I am not sure what it would represent in daily use, but it is not hard to imagine a variety of uses or abuses putting the wrong kind of pressure on the blade. I certainly want a stronger, more...
This video illustrates one reason why I do not like liner locks or frame locks.

My knives are primarily tools, and secondarily backup self defense weapons or primary self defense weapons if I am traveling in certain states. What I look for:
A good lock: lockback, Cold Steel...
I pocket carry 5 days/week for 6-7 months/year, and have pocket carried both a G26 and P365 regularly. The best pocket holster I have found is this one:

Pistols that require a break in period are the exception rather than the rule. There is no reason a properly designed, properly lubricated pistol should not work well right out of the box.
My first concern is availability of a wide selection of holsters, so that you can easily find those which meet your needs. For this reason and many others, I agree with the post above that you...
Sales and marketing is definitely not my strength.
I am not looking to change, but if my career had stayed in engineering this would be very interesting.
I would be surprised if you do not get at least a few good applicants from Pistol-Forum.
I would not bring a long gun into NJ without a NJ firearms purchaser ID card, even if the configuration is otherwise legal there. The rules tor these have tightened over the years. Many years ago...
Florida licenses are relatively easy to obtain and FL was very aggressive early in obtaining reciprocity agreements. I still maintain a FL license because it still gets me a few states that a PA...
