Grow a beard, buy Cold Steel and Spyderco. Problem(s) solved.

G19X with TLR1, IWB, usually SOB carry in the summer with the 19 round mag. If I'm wearing a loose shirt, strong side OWB with a spare mag. Being a tall helps with carry options. Always concealed, never open carried. Field carry is usually it's a G34, LW threaded barrel, with the same light...

Please write up a report after you get it out in the field. I've looked very seriously at one of these but never followed through because of mixed reviews on accuracy. I'm very interested to see how yours (or your dad's) performs.

Lot's of good info in this thread already. I prefer S30V for a good outdoors blade that I want to remain sharp and be rust resistant. S30V would be my baseline for toughness, stain resistance, and edge retention. I love carbon and tool steel blades for toughness but they're less rust...

I've not tried the Athlon, but I have done a build with the Vortex DBack Tactical 4-16. The glass is good for the price point. Two biggest negatives for me are the mushy-ness of the turrets compared with my SFP Viper HS and the lack of a zero stop (which is also an issue with the HS). I'd...

JA Baker STAC with with green micarta handles and an orange spacer. This one is in CPM-154 and has thicker micarta for my larger sized hands. Custom kydex by a friend of mine who is no longer in the game. 3.5" blade, 4" handle. My favorite fixed daily carry knife. I had another in this thread...

Benchmade Ozborne 940 BK used but not abused. See pics for condish. All Benchmade stuff included (as pictured). It's been professionally sharpened. Blade opens and closes with gravity. Clip is a bit banged up. Some pocket wear. Perfectly centered. No trades please. $140 shipped and...

I'm in the same boat! Owning beautiful instruments is inspiring!

I'm an Arizona State University Alumnus (Texas Tech also, but undergrad at ASU). I wouldn't be good enough to be in any armed forces band. The bass player you see in the vid played for the Army band in Korea for over a decade...I guess I'm good enough for him to put up with.

All of that stuff is still insanely expensive...just like quality firearms (and accessories). The problem is that I have an affinity for both and the bank account for neither.

A little taste.

Any drummers on the Hide? Roll call with pics! Below is my recording/practice kit. Premier Gen-X with a gun metal sparkle. 8x10, 9x12, 11x14, 14x16, 18x22. Evans heads. Sabian cymbals. Tama Speed Cobra double pedal and HH stand. Mix and match hardware, PDP, Premier, Tama, Pearl. Been...

Today we have the Ontario Rat 1 in D2. Best sub $50 folder available, IMO.

1.Ghost or other trigger connector and smooth trigger if you buy a compact or sub 2. Sights of your choosing Shoot it

.308, in any variation, is not a good elk round.

Small Sebenza 21 Micarta today.

Good on the members who brought up the lighting aspect of this question. IMO, all hunting side arms ought to include a very reliable and powerful light. 2 out of 3 times I've needed my sidearm have been at after the sun went down and I can say, without hesitation, that my TLR1 saved my bacon...

I can't say enough about the Ruger American Predator in .308. I've had mine for less than a year and it's a lightweight, accurate, and versatile rifle. I've posted on several threads here about it, but I have it suppressed, topped with a Vortex Viper HS, mildot reticle with mil adjustments...

Pretty much any autoloader with a rail for a quality light, $275 and up, 9mm and up using bonded JHPs. There are literally hundreds of choices and a majority are outstanding; many of which are documented already in this thread.
