This video shows the difference between a 9mm handgun and the .50AE rather well.

Notice the sexy rings of fire the Desert Eagle creates.

holy cow.

why does benchmade only use ups that will cost me more than the 6 sided tool i need

what are you ordering from BM?

i need the torx kit they have...my [censored] clip is coming off and i have nothing to tighten them with

have you ordered it yet?

no, i dont buy from places that charge $15 for shipping on a $12 tiny box of tools.

but i might just man up and get it....this is just one more reason i dont like hawaii...there are ZERO good tool stores around here :sigh:

I'm not sure what size you need but here are a few:

6 Pieces Mini Magnetic Torx Screwdriver Bit Set (T3, T5, T6, T7, T8, T10)

SMALL TORX SCREWDRIVER SECURITY TAMPER PROOF HOLE T5 T6 T7 T8 T9 T10 T15

Wiha Sys-4 8 Piece Torx Driver Set T3-T20

T3 is the smallest I've seen. I think the screws on my BMs are T5.
I haven't bought from any of these but Amazon.

that does suck... like paying ten bucks to walk into lowes or something. are the other shippers just as bad?

i think ill raid my dads toolchest before i buy anything.....this clip sucks.

i got a keytooth that helps somewhat. thanks for the links snotpig! it does look like a t5. worst comes to worst ill email BM and see if they really have to ship for $15

Hey MC, I've got a package full of goodies ready to head your way, if you would like, I'll throw in the tool you need to tighten that BM clip.
