Gear/Equipment / Re: Benchmade Knifes
December 06 2022 04:32:26 PM MST
I've got a limited run Benchmade 940 with G10 scales and a 20CV blade that was only available through Knifeworks in Louisiana.

The good: Fantastic daily whatever you need a pocketknife for type of knife... and you don't even notice it in your pocket until you need it. Holds a fantastic edge too.

The bad: It's not a knife you'd want to use if you're going to be doing something with a knife for an extended period of time... ie it will eventually be uncomfortable to hold. Also mine was dull as mud out of the box and it took me a while to put a decent edge on it. I could care less whether the maker will resharpen something, waiting two weeks for somebody else to do it means you don't have your blade.

The ugly: Most people will think it was a bit pricy for what you get. But if you think of it by comparing to other knives with the G10 / 20CV combination, it's actually not too expensive at all.

I've got one and it is the best magazine loader available.

Well worth the price.

If I had to replace mine though I'd go for a lime green or hot pink one because mine is OD Green and if you put it down it vanishes for a while.

Handguns / Re: New Auto Mag Corp

Caveat emptor.

This is an Auto Mag. Auto Mags had the reputation of being a complete surprise when they functioned properly. Whoever wants to sell you one, make damn sure they'll take it back if it is unreliable.

10mm semi-auto handguns / Re: Glock 20 vs M&P M2.0 10mm

From what I've seen, I think I'd be far more inclined to get an M&P over an XDM. But for now, I'm happy with my Glock 20.

I should probably read a review of the M&P that includes a history of the 10mm cartridge, beginning with the ancient Romans.

Locally (North Texas) there's a gun shop that always has primers. Last time I bought any from them it was $15/100 and they've gone up since then. I did however get some primers from Midway for $76/1000 Limit ONE plus their HAZMAT shipping fee.

The last time I bought powder was direct from Hodgdon's website. No markup on their price but do try to order as much as they'll sell you to offset the shipping/HAZMAT charge.

Nice. And the special gold plated parts as specified by any sane group of Special Forces procurement guys... "Experimental Prototype Special Forces Model featuring the Unique Factory Finish Nickel Frame, Polished Blue Slide with Gold Inlay and Gold Parts".... do the Special Forces guys know this thing exists?

BS. Bren Tens were a scam and THIS Bren Ten might be the biggest scam that company ever came up with. You could get the guns cheap because magazines were practically nonexistent but if you had a Bren Ten magazine you could ask $600 for it and get it, too. And THAT thing is a piece of marketing BS.

CAVEAT EMPTOR.

Hey thester,
GunfightersINC makes some really nice stuff. Their Ronin OWB is top notch

https://gunfightersinc.com/ronin-owb/

This is it, it's called a Ronin. It's pretty comfortable, possibly more comfortable than any other holster I've ever owned. It's also FAST and uses only friction for retention. My Ronin is one ordered off the fast delivery page, and I think I ordered it on a Thursday or so and had it by Monday.

The only other holsters I have for my G20 are the Glock Sport/Combat holster, which is actually pretty good especially for less than $20, and one of hoe Phalanx "It fits 150 guns" items...

And.... I can't figure out how to insert an image...

General Discussion / Re: Introductions

Texas here. Also lived in Australia. I've regularly ended up at this website when looking for 10mm load data etc, so I figured I might as well sign up.

I've been a revolver guy for my whole life but I've got one semi auto pistola for hunting radioactive mutants and hawgs and general EDC and it's a 10mm Glock 20.
