Scrapper pants

Well... got my Scrapper 6 and now thinking about how best to carry it... I know all the usual suspects for custom sheaths... what are you guys thinking?!

I will probably keep this one in my car for emergency use and around for the occasional camping trip.

Nothing against fine leather, but to spend 60+ on leather for 90 dollar knife....just don't make much sense to me.....If its going to be a truck/camp knife, I would go for one of those nylon with a front pouch to stick a few extra goodies in there.

I wouldn't mind a kydex rig for IWB carry, for when i want to pack some extra-heavy artillery...

Ditto, I'm hoping that someone will make an affordable leather sheath for these. I'm still trying to convince myslef that I need a $60 sheath for a $90 knife. That's why I bought the nylon, for now...

GregB

P.S. My S6 arrived yesterday

GregB - Congratulations to you, me, and everyone else who received their Scrapper yesterday. It is a really nice knife, and deserves a decent sheath. I think the cordura/kydex sheath is fine, but should be INCLUDED in the price - after all, we aren't paying WalMart prices for WalMart knives. Anyway, I may try to make one from some scrap leather, and ask my wife's co-worker, who has the tools and machines for sewing saddle leather, to make one also. Either way, I like leather sheaths for my knives whenever possible. Tom

spec ops sheath maybe ?

Spec ops is a great company! I don't even own one of their sheaths, but I bought one from a gentleman at a discounted price because it was missing the kydex insert...I contacted Spec ops and in 3 days it was here...no charge whatsoever!..I don't even have the sheath yet!

it's almost like we're paying walmart prices for Busse knives... SYKCO is even more Swamp Rat-like than Swamp Rat.... But seriously, the Sheat i got from SYK to go with my S6LE is MUCH nicer than the one that came from Blade -- the liner is better, it's MOLLE compatable, i could go on but its a great sheath... even the cordura is a better quality than the other nylon rigs i have... A really good deal for $17 or whatever it was.

not to say i wouldn't rather have a leather one if it was offered... or a Buy Brown kydex... more choices would be a plus...

How about a basic (no tooling or very lighttooling) sheath for a scrapper 6 that is around half what you guy's are thinking shipped??

How does that sound??

hmm??? anyone?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

PM me for cost <~~cant put that in open forum!

holy (S)crap! I'll take one!!

Sr77dogg...PM me bro when ya get the chance...

You have to advertise....make shirts!!! Stickers...

Leatherface - I'm sure your message is music to many ears!

Music?......that almost qualifies him for Sainthood!

Hmmm... a Saint adorned in black leather - I think I would opt for Elvira. Of course, she doesn't make reasonably priced sheaths like Leatherface. I guess he could be a Saint in the Church of Cutlery Brethren.

I love that movie that she does the little twirliy thing....you know what I am talking about!

Elvira mistress of the dark?? ahhh the crush I had on her when I was kid!!!!

Ohh yea...The basic ones are in any color ya want as long as it is black or brown!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cassandra Peterson would look great in either black or brown! I'll bet your sheaths do too!

Lol klink...Yea she pretty much would look good on a bowl of tomatoe soup if ya ask me!!

OHH yea forgot something...all of the sheaths made for the scrappies is going to be made from 9-10oz leather..not the thin cruddy stuff!!!

Holla at me!

Personally I would like to see her wearing 2 postage stamps and some dental floss! Leatherface....you are the MAN!!

I'll bet that Leatherface could design a great outfit for Elvira! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Oh, and make a nice sheath too! Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I bought a Spec Ops Survival sheath for a chopper I had and what a great product and the service was superb. I had to contact the area rep who promptly answered my questions and even shipped the item to me all in a timely fashion. You cannot go wrong with Spec Ops in my book.
RATical

RATical - I'm sure that this is not just a Myth - everyone at the Swamp sings the praises of Spec Ops sheaths.

You can get sheaths from Justin at Ranger knives also. Several sizes and nice quality!

AND Justin is VERY easy to deal with!!!

I am having him make me a custom as we speak!! errr knife that is, I got the sheath part covered!!!

hmmm..kydex?? leather?? BOTH!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

what size for the Spec OPS sheath ? the "short" one ?

I would say short for the scrapper 6
http://www.lapolicegear.com/spsush.html

enjoy!

I would say short as well...Might wanna buy a couple large ones for the scrappy 7" and 9...

The large only holds 8" blades...I would say to use one of our fine custom leather workers!

GF - You don't want to overlook Leatherface - he is a sheathmaker as well.

Oh, yes he is, and I may be comissioning him out for a few in the very near future!

GF - When you do, keep us posted with pictures! Maybe he will award a discount to the first person who posts a picture of one of his sheaths. (hint-hint) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I have to get the Knife first.....but we discussed the sheath already!

Well, my thinking in the way of sheath is, knives are carried more than used so i'd like mine in a nice fitting rig that rides where and how it's supposed to. I'd rather not have a cheapo sheath dangling or swinging around or allowing the knife to get lost or move around too much. It's like buying a fancy rifle and trying to transport or store it in a cheapo on sale junk gun case. I for one don't see a problem with $40-50 bucks spent on a sheath for a $90 knife. Thats whats great about america, you can make *most* of your own decisions....at least for now...

=P

tyuio - to each his own ! Some folks drive a Cadillac while others drive a Chevrolet. One is certainly prettier and nicer than the other, but both serve the same purpose only in slightly different ways. Buy whatever is important to you, but don't look down your nose at someone else with something different than yours. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

How did you extract from my post that i was looking down my nose at anyone? I was simply stating what was important to me....pls to get off high horse.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I have one leather sheath for a Howling Fat and I love it....but I wouldn't have paid for it, had it not come with the knife! I really like the look of leather...it brings a certain respect to the knife and the wielder....however, nylon is cheap ...no worries if it gets scratched and all the cool little pockets that can hold goodies!

I am looking forward to seeing what those bad boys look like.
I have a spec ops sheath that was lying about. The scrapper fits, but a quarter inch or so sticks out of the top. Any comments or suggestions?

Maybe try to heat and mold the kydex to fit a bit more snuggly?

I was thinking of that. However, I do believe that the bottom 'guard' is too long to fit into the sheath.

Having no self control, I will end up trying to heat it up a bit and stretching it, probably before the night is through.

Great thing with spec ops...they will send you a new one if/when you mess it up!

is that the short or long sheath ?
thanks

it is the short sheath.
the actual length is perfect; it is the bottom 'guard' that causes it to stick out.

Got my scrapper 6 today!!

Hmm..now where did I lay all of that leather?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Don't forget pics of the sheath you make for it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

We are waiting!!! 30 minutes.......Whats the hold up!!

Congratulations Leatherface! Let us know what you think about it, and be sure to post pictures of your sheath creation. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Andy...No worries...but be warned I make good stuff, but my pics suck!!

Gravel...sorry for the delay bro...I am slipping in my old age! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Klink...My scrappy is SWEET!!! Sharp from the cardboard and is a nice piece of steel for the $$$

BTW...I decided to do a kydex sheath first...raining here and leather and rain dont mix to well...Should have pics later tomm afternoon

I am possessed by evil cookie grimlins!

Are those the ones that make you crave and eat cookies all the time! If so I think I am infected also. Did you go for the LE?

When I read this I had to laugh - I'm sitting here munching Oreos with my coffee. I'm curious as to whether he got the LE or CG version as well. I'm trying to convince my wife she should get me an LE for my birthday. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Klink --- do you have the CG yet?? oh man the LE is such a peach.
LF- So you make kydex rigs, too? that's ill! I can't wait to see how these turn out...

I don't know about scrapper pants, but I need a set for a Rat Daddy that just fell from the sky and landed on my doorstep this evening!.......Look at the "root" word of scrapper and combine it with pants.......

hosenscheisser?

exactly!

dogg - Yes, I got a CG one week after I ordered. I am so pleased with it that I'm trying to talk my wife in getting me an LE for my birthday in December. Of course, that could change if a new model Scrapper is released. Then I will have to sneak buy an LE myself! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

kydex sheath would be nice too. maybe Dave Brown from BB can make one ?

He is an excellent sheath maker, but it may be a while before he gets back on schedule...he recently hurt his back and that has slowed him down a bit.

alright I'm looking on ebay right now for the spec ops sheath...can you confirm I need the short one ? they say blade up to 5.5" ?

Get with rooikat, he has the sheath and seems to be having an "issue" with the guard. Maybe he can let us know if you can make it work!

paging roikat...If I go with the long one maybe I won't have the guard issue ?

GF: your fast man..

you should definitely sneak one if you can, they are screamers... i'm tempted to get a CG one just to see the differences...

Anyone strip their CG S6..I am curious to see the finish on it!

Impact I try. Also If the size of the sheath isn't going to be a problem, I would go for the large 8 inch model. You could always use it for an up and coming Scrapper.

true..since I also have a SR Ratweiler..I can always re-use the 8" one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I will test the RW in the large Spec ops sheath when I get home....I have both, but never put them together....

yeah some people on the SR forum been using the large spec op sheath with the RW. You might need to heat up the kydex first though.
If you have your scrapper 6, can yo utry it in the large sheath ?

thanks so much.

I plead the 5th on that last request!

so... ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think you gave old GF too much to think about all at once! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Definitly have to mold the kydex for the RW.....

The smaller sheath is almost a perfect fit.
The only problem, or concern, is that a quarter inch or so of the blade sticks out, due to thew design of the scrapper.
The only way i can see to remedy it, would be to cut a slit in the kydex liner, that would allow the blade to ride further down.
Has any one else tried the spec ops sheath yet?
The larger spec ops sheath has the same problem, but is also way too big for the blade, imo.
I am sure that some wouldn't care, but I am a perfectionist. I feel a sheath should fit, not sort of maybe fit.
those of you who have ratweilers, how do those fit in the spec ops sheaths? They look like they might have a similar problem. i do not have one, so I do not know.

Great thing with spec op is they will send you a replacement insert for free!

rooikat - I'm not sure, but I thought that sheath problems with the Spec-Ops sheath were discussed in depth over at the Swamp, not long after the Ratweiler came out.

thanks !!..so I will order the short sheath

I hope I helped!

I tried a small one I had laying around and it didnt fit right...

Working on getting the sheath done and posted ( I gotta tummy ache so it is slow going for a day or 2)!! Thanks for all of you that have sent me a PM!!!

have YOU PM'ed me lately?? hmm well have you?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the world of "Scrappers" GF!

I figured the new avatar was appropiate for the title!

That's a good one! Who is he, one of the "ultimate fighters" ?

Nope just a fellow I was trying to get some ideas for a tatto from. My sister and her husband are scheming and plotting to buy a tattoo shop. Some names I have come up with are "El Chupacabra" or "Rosco's Fried Chicken and Tattoos" What do you think?

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />The first name is good, but the second one will generate more traffic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Free 3 piece with every name tattoo!...See you can run specials and combo deals!

Enough to make Colonel Harlan Sanders turn over in his casket! What a mind for business!!!

Hey, if any of you can post a pic of your ratweiler in a spec-ops sheath, I'd appreciate it.
My wife's camera sucks, or I'd post a pic of my scrapper in the small spec-op sheath for you all to see.
I'd buy my own camera, but the damned knives seem to suck my money away. In the past 2 weeks or so, I got the scrapper LE, a busse skeleton key, another Buck general, and about a half dozen assorted folders.

Roo - I understand the financial drain caused by knives, but you sure illustrate it! Ha! I have two of the Buck Generals, each with different sheath type. They are still a good knife for the money, when you can find them.

I wish I could help, but I would have to mold the kydex.I f you want to see what it could potentially look like I will remove the kydex and post a picture...let em know.

GF - Do it! I bet there are several folks who would like to see it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> By the way, have you voted for the next model yet ?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

"El Chupacabra" definitely. kind of like "El Chamucos", lol

i hope you guys voted for the Howler... i would have said the bowie but i want it fatter than 1/4"...

BIG BOWIE BIG BOWIE BIG BOWIE BIG BOWIE BIG BOWIE <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Although a 9/32" or 5/16th" blade wouldn't be bad either! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I voted for the Big Bowie as well...now I am having second thoughts...A howler would be nice to have around to back up a bigger knife..

hmmm...guess I will have to guy both!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Now you're talking, LF !!!

Yeah I want both, but I want the big Bowie...really see what this stuff can do!

I have INFI insanity, but I'm buyin' whatever they're sellin'...The Scrapper 6 has me SOLD <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Leatherface...can you do a horizontal belt sheath for something the size of a skeleton key?

GF - I think Leatherface can probably make a sheath for anything EXCEPT a Raven Arms P-25 auto.

Yea I can gravel...pm me

LOL Klink...Pm me I might have an idea that can help ya with your holster problem!!!


BTW guys...I tested my scrapper 6 again today...Passed 2 more of my impromptu test's with flying colors!!!

1/4" to 1/2" limbs busted easily

old scrap 10oz leather belt battoned (cutting is for wimps!) in 3 places with no damage to edge!!

Gents we have a winner!!!

I just took leatherface up on his kind offer. One check in the mail for one scrapper sheath.
My little scrapper can't wait for his new pants!

Roo - good to hear you took him up on his offer; he DOES seem to have a very reasonable charge. Let us all know what you think about it after it arrives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Tom

I'd like to, but can't afford it for a while. I can't even afford a Scrapper right now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Keep saving your pennies Andy - you WILL like the Scrapper!

I bet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I usually grab my BR over my RM, and I'll probably end up grabbing my Scrapper over my M6. Res-C is much more comfortable.

Speakin' of pennies...I have a big 5 gallon plastic water bottle with a bunch of pennies in it...wonder how much is in there. (It's not full, just a couple inches deep.) I might have 'ta cash in my change jars. I generally like to keep them around, cause that's an emergency fund when you're REALLY broke and need some $ and every penny counts!

It adds up quick! We had a few copper bowls around for our change. When I took them to the bank we had over $200.00

If you have a 5 gallon jug a "few" inches deep and there is any silver coins in there...you will have you scrapper and a leather sheath for it!

There it is, Andy!

I am really liking the resoprene handle as well...Micarta looks better, but I am digging the softer handle!!!

I was converting to a micarta lover, but have reverted back to the resoprene. It really is very comfortable, and, in my opinion, does not look bad with the satin finished blades that I have acquired. The contrast is pretty cool- half work, half dress.

Nope, it's all pennies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I keep my "silver" seperate, and there's not much of it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I'm with you Roo! I love the Resiprene-C, as it feels great in the hand and looks good also. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Andy - keep working on it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oddly enough,while the puppies have attacked most things in the house as being good to chew, so far the scrapper has been ignored.
Could it be respect for a fellow canine? Or the fact that the scrapper's tooth is significantly bigger then the pup's?

I think it depends on the texture of the micarta. The res-c does add a nice level of shock absorption, tho--

Roo - I'm kind of surprised that your pups have left the Scrapper alone. When my pups were in the garage, they chewed on EVERYTHING, including the pull-handle of my push mower and the electric clutch knob of my riding mower. They STILL love to chew on my leather work gloves if I leave them in reach. I won't leave my Scrapper where they can get to it!

My last puppy ate my flipflopps,2 pieces of 8oz leather I had cut for tooling practice and a sheath I had done for a Ranger RD9 that was about 80% complete!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My pup started chewing on my skeleton key today...I am glad he still only has puppy teeth!!

hmmm Infi VS Puppy teeth?? yea him just having Milk teeth is prolly a good thing!! lol

Still doesn't stop the little bugger...at least he has good taste!

True very true

Maybe a small amount of crushed cayenne pepper on the handles would convince him to leave your knives alone ? JUST DON'T FORGET TO CLEAN THEM BEFORE USING !

Adds to the flavor next time you pick your nose or rub your eyes!

When I first got my $300 .MP3 player I put it on my bed while it was charging for the first time. My Weimer Sallie was a puppy and I came in my room and she had it in her mouth chewing it. She put some scratches and dents in the aluminum case, but at least she missed the glass screen. She destroyed the leather case it was in too.

Aren't pets wonderful ?!!?

Wonderful little sh.....nevermind!

I dont know what I would do without the "puppy"...As long as she doesnt chew on the leather!!!

Well, take heart. They will outgrow the chewing frenzy, but L/F, they will ALWAYS love to chew on leather !

AGH!!!!!!!!

Now I know why I like snakes as well...They just chew on YOU when they get the notion!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Personally, I opt for the dogs !

Oh, I can't wait for my LE to get here!....My birthday gift "from" my wife will be a visit to Knob Creek.....is the Yard going to be there....I could always swing b and pick up a box on my way!

Snakes are your friend Klink!!!

PANTS!!!

[img][image]http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/9/26919203585.jpg[/img][/image]

Nice work L/F - looks good ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks bro!!!

Oh, I sure could use the lottery about now! I wouldn't even mind splitting it with someone!

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME !

Deal.....I win, I will buy you what ever blade you want!

Right back atcha' !

Would a group lotto buy work with an entire online group?

Highly doubtful...but if I win..

I will buy ME whatever knife I want!!!:)







ahh and you guy's as well!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Your the MAN leatherface!!!!

At least he's honest about it ! By the way, did I mention that I would like a BOWIE ?!?

To go along with them Camp Tramps! You horder!

That, coming from someone who just got a deal on 2 BattleRats ?!? You hoarder ! Cool, ain't it ?!?

It is my love for choppers that is manifesting itself into buying whichever ones come up till Scrapyard releases theirs!!!! Dan, do you see what my life has come to!!!!

I wonder if we should start a support group, we could call it "BCAA", Bowie & Chopper Aholic Association.

In reality, I think your life has come to the right point and is on the right track.

Dogs forever!!!

Dan

HAHAHHAHa Only if my wife though along those lines!!!!! I will tell her I am going to a "BCAA" meeting at Knob Creek!.....You gotta get there Dan!

"BCAA" ???

I LIKE that!!!

I can tell people that they have "chopper" envy!!!

hehahahahahaha <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Good one L/F ! By the way, didn't you say that you would like the BOWIE to be the next model released ?

Klink,
Yea I would like to see the Bowie as the next release...BUT a small EDC wouldnt hurt my feelings at all

But it will hurt mine ....for a few seconds.....then back to woderful thoughts of the chopper! leatherface...hows the sheaths coming?

If it's one then BOWIE if Dan can do two, bowie and the INFI shorty! 'The best things come in small packages' isn't always true!!

Gravel,
I have 3 leather ones done and ready to ship Monday morning...I have 2 kydex rigs that are going to ship Monday as well...If I get the belt loops in for them...if not then they will prolly go Teusday..

U ready for 1 or 5? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

BRING ON THE CHOPPERS!!!

I will likely be taking 3...but I need a new knife first!

I for some reason cant see the votes...How is the voting going on what comes next??

Are we gonna have choppers or EDc's?

The distorted voting is running about 2 to 1 in favor of the Infi mudder. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Of course, we all know that the numbers are bogus due to Jerry's HOG kids and their trickery! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I hope that Dan does the right thing and releases the BOWIE next! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Should we start a thread asking everyone to say what they would like rather than the 'hijacked' poll?

BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!BOWIE!

I think GF would like the BOWIE and so would I !!!

Yep GF seems quite focused! Bowie here please... (or a Scrapper 9!)

Bowie for me


OR

A scrapper 9 would be sweet as well!

Thanks for that Leatherface, I'll take either happily; but I bet the Scrapper 9 would do a baton less damage during batoning (due to having no false edge, saving effort). Just a thought...

You fellows are certainly right in that either knife will be sweet. However, since Dan said the BOWIE was one of the choices, I think he should proceed with the BOWIE!!!

Paul you are prolly right about that...I havent bought a gun in over 12 months...I just realized this...Kinda sad dont ya think? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I might have missed something L/F, but I think Paul is referring to a Scrapper with a 9" blade, as opposed to something in 9mm. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

yea I know...Just sharing my shame

Yep I meant the big Scrapper but LF you go buy a nice shiny 9mm and feel better! Oh to live in a society where shooting was a sport it was possible to do..

Now if it were a .45, then I would get excited!...or a Bowie!

Make that a dull black Glock 10mm or a bowie and I'm right with you!

As much as I love that little hand cannon...target shooting is just too expensive....10mm rounds break the bank if you want to plink off 200 of them.

I agree, if shooting was a realistic option over here I'd use 'Warsaw Pact' or Nato ammo to save loads of money... I'd save a 10mm for special occasions and shoot a CZ85 9mm and Mini 14 for preference. Shame you can't shoot over here...

My wife just said she loves the Scrapyard logo!!!

Great now run it past her about getting it tattooed on yourself. You still can get those over there....can't you?

Yep, tats aren't illegal but knowing our government there may be plans... The wife has previously mentioned tattoos in relation to me sleeping in the spare room! So I'll have to settle for a dog tee-shirt instead.

Thats a great idea....Dog Shirts...Someone should put that ball in motion....hint, hint, wink, wink.

Paul I hate it for ya bro I really do!!!


I AM thinking of getting a 9mm...kel-tec just released a pocket 9mm called the PF-9...I WANT ONE!!

I have been planning on getting me a Glock 20 or 29 10mm...Gonna have to learn to reload it to shoot it, but it shouldnt be that big a deal..

DOG shirts?? I would buy one..

I NEED a bounce around 1911...hmm a large Scrappy chopper and a 1911 45..AHH sweet dreams are made of this!!!

btw..

I plan on getting 2 more tatt's...A very large grim reaper on my back and something else..havent decided on the second one yet..:)

Friends in the forces love the Glocks and totally trust them! Have fun LF!

GF the shirts were your (great) idea about a month ago! I'm just trying to remind Dan and Patti about them.

Has it been that long...almost....lets see some tats LF!

well I am taking pics of the wererabbitt and it's new pants tomm...Will try and get a decent one of my fav..

Truth be told, Glocks just dont do it for me...I have owned 4 of them over the years and they just didnt have that "feel" that I am looking for...The XD-series on the other hand, totally SINGS TO ME!!

XD just doesnt offer a 10mm...Glock does so I am going with the Glock...Feel me?

I know that "feeling" you are talking about. I once had a H&K it had that "feeling", but lost every bit of it when I shot it.....but just to handle it was magical!

I'm with you Leatherdogg on the Springfields -- they do make a .45, though, which loaded with some +p golden sabers or something, is no pea shooter... and now they finally make a .45 sub-compact XD... if only i can stop spending all my $ on knives, i will have one...

Strange -- my HK USP Tactical .45 still has that "magical" feeling -- you aren't going to believe me, but i know exactly what you are talking about. I will never forget the first time i saw the business end of an HK USP... it was like blue stars shot off in my head and i knew i had to have one, no matter how much it cost. I didn't even like "plastic guns" back then, but the recoil reduction thing you feel when you shoot it, and the way the parts fit together like a custom match pistol, it's the baddest pistol i have ever seen, although the Springfield XD seems to have captured some of that rediculously fabulous design... duhh, babbling... sorry... guns, you know...

Sr77,
I do know the feeling...

Leatherdog?? lol I like that!!

I didnt know that they had made a XD-45 compact...hmmm might have to look into that!!!

Still want to get that pocket 9mm though...I think it is time to retire my P-32..lol

I was actually looking into the new Taurus 1911..it looks pretty good.

Gravel,
I have heard of those, but I havent gotten to handle one yet...A good "beater" 1911 would fit my needs pretty good...I already own 2 of them, but due to there value I tend not to carry them...

I already got mags etc....hmmm I might wanna look a bit harder after I get my 9mm!
