I do not own a 40 but do own a 45-1911 A1. I believe that the performance difference between these two rounds is close enough that your primary concern should be the platform from which it is fired...
Those are in the S.M.K.W. catalog all the time. I am sure that they are made in Asia somewhere so that one could easily be for real.
I have a new in box Valor incarnation of this knife I have never used. For $14.95 I bought another to keep in storage in case the knife was discontinued and my current one was broken etc. I think you...

Hey! Does anyone know where I can get a replacement retainer for that Eternal dive knife? You used to be able to pick one up in any dive shop, but no one seems to Carry them any more. The knife is...
If it has to be one or the other than strait. However I like some serrations somewhere on the blade but not the entire blade, in case I need them.
Three guys. My knee jerk comment is just build it longer. In effect three one man lean-tos side by side since that's what your used to . Or seprate, facing a single common fire in the middle.
I dont know if anyone has mentioned these yet, but years ago I lived a while in northern Minnesota and the locals turned me on to Steger mukluks as cold weather foot ware intended for arctic...
I have to admit, I like having options. lol :)
Every knife in that pic except for the navy mk 3 I aquired for under $20. :)

Do you know if the Ontario Cutlery spec+ version with the molded handle is any better? I have thought about buying one for my collection.
The knife on the bottom is a 440s blade with guard but no scales which I purchased at the Smokey Mountain Knife Works store years ago for $5.95. They had this blade in there catalog for years. It was...
Here is a 1985 Air Force pilot survival I have had since 86 ( Camillus Cutlery ) I have tried to kill. I have abused that knife with abandon, but it wont die. :)

I've got a Randall 14, I bought off of a guy for $45 and the isotoner driving gloves I was wearing at the moment. lol :)
I am a Licensed Class 2 water treatment operator, and the official E.P.A. line is that water brought to a ROLLING boil for one minute is officially disinfected. As mentioned earlier this will of...
My only 2 complaints with MRES is that they contain lots of water which makes them heavy, and they are expensive to purchase compared to Kraft mac and cheese, instant oatmeal, raman noodles, rice,...
I wear a Seiko diver quartz with sapphlex crystal. had it for 8 years and bounced it off of lots o stuff including pavement but no scratches on the lens yet. Keeps good time.
I still have the same original leatherman I have had since way back in the early 90's. It says "LEATHERMAN TOOL PORTLAND OR" on both sides. I cant find a serial# anywhere on it. Wear it every day to...
Also they are designed to constipate, so soldiers in combat do not need a restroom break very often while the bullets are flying. Really no joke!
I just gotta throw in here.
What problem do you have with the Boy Scouts? Hiking, Camping, Shooting, Rock Climbing, Archery, Fishing, even survival skills training are all Boy Scout activities....
I would say you have a point.
My interest in survival skills rests not in a fear of death, but in a wish to be comfortable in man's original environment. I say original because we have traded the garden of Eden for motel 6, and...
If you mean setting the leg, I ain't qualified to do that. I would probably do more harm than good. I dont know. Sounds like a pretty bad break.
