I use the Benchmade Griptillian. It rund right about $100.
They also have a practice knife that except for the blade is “the same”. It is $85.
I have been told by an instructor that D@ is “the best”, however, you have to consider, in my opinion, 3 things, Edge retention, corrosion resistance and just as importantly how easy or difficult the metal is to sharpen after you get it dull.
So, as an engineer, in theory CPM S30V steel is “the best”. Good luck finding a knife with that steel in a reasonable price range.
I have a D2 Griptillian, a 154CM Griptillian and 154CM mini-Griptillian, so obviously I am biased. the D2 is in my trunk BOB, the other two are in my pocket every day.I have heard ( I thought on SOTG Radio) that there are extensions for the Sig SB15 and the Century Arms SB-47 stabilizing braces. Since I have been blessed with long arms I think that one would help.
Were do I find these at, a search at Brownells turned up nothing and nothing via “DuckDuckGo” that resulted in a “click here to buy”.

I could come up with more, if you were a sponsor of The Weekly Geek; ^ )
I would / out team does have all the above. We have the low end FRS to hand out to others. the higher end ones for yourselves. CB units and HAM radios, both handheld and base stations.
FRS for the tam deployed, 1 with a HAM, base has a HAM to communicate. CB to communicate with other local Teams.
HAMs also serve as longer and worldwide monitoring/communications.how long is your living room? Matt Canovi of Canovi and Associates recommends 20 foot due to how close things are inside the typical house / apt.
How much wood could a Wood Chuck chuck if a Wood Chuck could chuck wood? Hey, you said first question.
Anyway how would you consider the best caliber AR for TEOTWAWKI? 5.56 due to its comminality, 308 for “power”, 6.8 just cause, 6.5 Grendel… pick on and let me know why.Molon_labe, about the flashbang, my wife liked the idea, heck, I am a lucky guy, my bride could hide a MP-5, but that is besides the point.
In the long run, she did not like the way it felt on her. I don’t think she gave it enough time but that was and is not my call to make.There is another IDPA match this weekend October 18th at the American Defense Academy.
http://www.theAmericanDefenseAcademy.comI know I have seen other sites such as this but here is one you can bookmark and use for “up to date” ammo pricing.
http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/Yes, I suck with the Beretta 92 and 96 series, could not hit the side of a barn. With the Sig 225 and Glock 22/23/19/17/26 I rock!
The Beretta’s have a larger circumference, while the 225 is s single stack but still fairly wide Sig and the Glocks just fit.
My wife and 3 children all have smaller hands and the Gen 1, 2 and 3 Glocks are too big. The Gen 4 barely fit so the ladies all have the Walther PQ380. The boy is a rifleman.Butches Gun Oil – A quick heads up
Guys, as I was cleaning my weapons with Frog Lube (see my question about it on the main forum page), I noticed something.
I used to use Butches Gun Oil, it is red, on all my firearms.
On my weapons there was this red “plastic” covering. Like I would expect a transparent film on something you don’t want scratched.
Turns out it was the dried Butches Gun Oil. It was no longer a lube but a hindrance, it could block / jam / gum up those various systems.MFZuber3PD,
I was raised the same way. How I approached it with my wife was I needed to protect her and our children, and in order to do that I needed to see around.
For the first 5 years of marriage it did not help, however, after each incident on the news, I quietly and respectfully said something to the effect, “I wonder why their husbands did not love them enough to protect them”. No lectures, just let it drop. Now 19+ years into the marriage, she is looking for the best seating for the family (away from the front windows and cash register) and where I can see as well as taking in consideration that I am left handed. In other-words it took time but now she has an awareness.I have a question about Froglube.
I cleaned the weapons thoughrly as described.
After I applied it on my CCW pistol and bolt weapon, I fired them.
It has been enough rounds through each I normally would clean them, the question is with Froglube, how?
Do I run the solvent the same as I would have with Hoppes #9 and then the CLP as I would have with Butches Gun Oil?
Do I just use the CLP?
The instructions seem to say to use the Solvent then the CLP, however does that not defeat the purpose of the CLP “penetrating” the metal?Also, I used the CLP inside my barrels, my groups doubled in size. Could have been me, it was a clear day, no wind, cool (high 70’s), could not have been any better for shooting. I only checked at 100 and 200 yards with the rifle. The pistol I did not really notice until 25, 35 and 45 yards (these shots also moved to the left, maybe grip?)
I had posted where I found the best prices of quality 308 during the month of July 2014, not sure why it disappeared.

You can save some money if any of these rounds are what you use. Spend the saved money on Talking Lead gear.I have updated the original document with AIM and Wideners: http://www.theweeklygeek.com/308Ammo2014.pdf
