yeah.
it looks like it would fit a pocket perfectly.
pretty cool.

i'd love to get something like that for my dad... if only he could justify spending over 30$.

right I'll probably just get him something fro a sporting goods store... maybe like a buck 110 or something.

iirc

the sheath is only $24.95

but the knife...

if
i
recall
correctly

firesteel =$39

this is my EDC lately, not including keys and phone.

ohhhhh. okay.
thanks vance.
honestly, it's a great price, but he would never spend that much money for himself.

he doesn't often treat himself to nice things.
whenever he tries to something always goes wrong.

I almost want to try and win that convex sharpening contest so I could get that for him.


mag:
I REALLY want a swisstool.
adfter this next yard release (or until I get my s7!) I'll probably get one.

that' as good as my EDC has ever been and to be frank, i don't think i can improve on it much more. that zdp 189 delica is hard to beat for an all purpose performance blade. the swisstool does it all. i could get the Q5 p1d, i guess.

gotta run to the post office and ship these.

Below are a couple of pics of my Makarov 9mm. The "T" on the slide is the mark of Teddy Jacobson. Teddy is a highly regarded smith who did his "street reliability package" magic on this pistol. The holster is G-Code's "Comfort Carry" IWB.

Thanks for looking.

willieboy, nice setup! how you like the 9x18mm??? im looking at getting a sig sauer p232. pretty close.

Hello Reconseed.

I like the 9x18 round. I've always found the recoil of the .380 to be kind of snappy in the couple of PPKs I've owned over the years, but the 9x18 is different. Kind of hard to explain but instead of the pistol rising on impact, it moves rearward in the hand, making for fast follow up shots.

This is the only 9x18 I've had so maybe the characteristics of the recoil have more to do with the pistol than the round. I've read the 9x18 falls between the .380 and the 9x19 in power. It is also the largest round that can be chambered in fixed barrel pistols like the Mak or PPK. I really like the Makarov too. Great little gun. Due to its longer barrel length, versus the PPK, it is easy to carry Mex style...just stuffed in the pants behind the hip for a quick trip to the store. The longer barrel helps stabilize the weapon.

I think mine was manufactured in 1984. It's a Bugarian Mak. It was new when I bought it though finish was hardly what we woult get in a new S&W for example. Some scratches and just kind of rough overall. I guess becasue it's a military pistol. The trigger was brutal too, hence my trip to Teddy Jacobson's shop.

The ammo is cheap. I shoot the Barnul brand. They're hollow points. They stink like rotten eggs when fired. Gives the shooter plenty of elbow room at the range as other shooters leave thinking I suffer from flatulence.
