    Tactical Taylor?

    +1 for Tactical Tailor being GTG. Well made product and excellent service. Urban Operator backpack is solid. After using it for a while, I wished it was a panel loading backpack instead. Fleece Jacket needs gusseted arms: otherwise jacket lifts up with your arms. Baseball caps are about as...

    Wife bitching about broken purses, need a good courier bag.

    +1 for the Timbuk2 product. The custom product is made in the US. Customize Backpacks, Laptop Messenger Bags, Sleeves - Timbuk2 Bags Have used mine nearly every day for the past 17 years, taken it around the world several times and it's still going strong. I've seen a few of the original ones...

    High Quality Kitchen Knives

    From a pure materials standpoint: +1 on Henkels Pro S as a solid buy. I would put it in the category of Minimum investment quality/point of deminishing returns. If you're not a southpaw, Shun is worth looking at with a step up with VG10 or SG2 steel. Kikiuchi would be good for a specialist...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Carry knife preferences

    Was a long time CQC7 user, then switched to a Twitch II for a while, Paramilitary 2 and now DragonFly 2 ZDP-189. ...just graduated to a more discrete tool over time. Bang for the buck, I like the DragonFly 2 of some type depending on Budget. Twitch II for a good bang for the buck discrete...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Mark 23 vs USP T

    Money no object, get both...and their cans. Depends on the intended use: if it's a range toy Mark 23, for carry the USP-T would probably be more practical because of its size. There is nothing quite like a crew served pistol that is the Mark 23, however. You really have to handle and shoot one...

    Rem700 AICS 2.0 measurement request

    I'm not sure how 37" is 1" less than 39.5" or 32"... Remington 700 with a 20" barrel in an AICS is 32" +/- 0.0625 measured along the bore axis from the end of the barrel to the end of the "hook" in the grip part of the stock, when the stock is folded. The other dimension to take under...

    Whats your rangefinder of choice?

    Started with an Elite 1500, good bang for the buck...now Terrapin: quite a leap forward.

    Scope bubble level?

    I went with the rail mounted one on whim because they can be bought very inexpensively (tack it onto an existing order since usually shipping will cost more than the level itself) to see what kind of aid it offers. If it doesn't work out as well as one thinks, it's not a huge investment. If it...
