I have been considering a new gun in July as a reward for paying off my student loan several years early (on track to happen in June).
After talking to my humble, quiet, awesome friend from college, who made SWAT today and also made detective recently, I have decided that money would be better spent buying him a nice knife for everyday duty carry.
Obviously it's his choice, he's a grown man, but any suggestions from tac unit guys and/or detectives about a robust, useful knife in the $250-300 range? We are currently chatting about Benchmade options like the Barrage and Triage.
