    K-Bars Ultralight self defense blade for female runner

    Lots of good advise above regarding situational awareness and training. As to knife choice, as mentioned several times, I gave a Spyderco Delica to one of my daughters. However, I now would recommend an Esee Izula. Even with training, under stress and physical attack, simpler is better...

    The worst are the guys from the Financial Asset Recovery Teams, think of them as the collections agency for the feds.

    Vectronix plrf10 warranty

    Yep, their stuff is top notch and PLRF gear is built like a tank, puzzling why only 1 year warranty. I can only guess an operator accidentally dropping his kit during a jump would be bad news and costly for the company. I've seen it happen, and I've also seen companies step up and...

    Best drag bags

    I have a Tactical Tailor, tough as hell but fit depends on rifle. My M1A with a McMillan stock and Nightforce is a tight fit with the sunshield. Don't really know if it would fit with a scope cover if you use one.

    Nikon M308 No more adjustment left to properly site in scope.

    If it was used as a demo at all, folks looking at the scope may have fiddled with the knobs, so it was not at center when you got it. Go in one direction until it stops, then count all the clicks until you reach the other stop. Now you know how many clicks to go to center. Also make sure the...

    Weapon Light Advice

    I would consider the main usage of the light to decide. If the main use will be indoors, you don't want too bright a light, outdoors you need more. The type of light source i.e. incandescent, halogen, led, etc. also comes into play. There are great reviews/comparisons that explain it a heck...

    Help hiding my scope

    Black nylon stocking stretched over the front works too. Surprisingly not very noticeable during the daylight as far as light reduction.

    Military officers or LEO's I have a request.

    Another plus is if he decides to do some type of military service first, his time will count towards retirement with the FBI, or most any other federal agency.

    25 years in LE

    Good info you shared Matt. We hired 3 officers from UofG who went for that deal. A large chunk of their education was paid for, and they got a 6% incentive for the degree from our PD. When I did the backgrounds, I was surprised to be talking to Captains that were in their 20's. It tends to...

    25 years in LE

    You think that's bad? In WA, I did a bit over 30, I get 60% with no medical, AND since I was only 52 I couldn't collect until I turned 53 without a huge penalty, it was about 8% if I remember right. And that's forever, you don't bump up to full pension when you turn 53. No disability...

    Weight of McMillan M2A

    Never mind. Although I couldn't find an exact weight, over at M14 forums I learned it's about 2 pounds heavier than the factory stock. Mod feel free to lock/delete this. Sorry to waste your time. Tony

    Weight of McMillan M2A

    McMillan is closed, making an offer on an M2A tonight. He has another buyer but prefers to sell locally, so he's giving me first dibs. Anyone know the weight of the M2A offhand? TIA, Tony

    Gotta love a Physics Professor with a sense of humor.

    My answer would have been, "The bears speed is irrelevant. MY speed would only have to be .5m FPS faster than the guy I'm with."
