Gun owners unite -Part II

[knight0334]

I debated on getting an XD with my tax money. They are nice for sure..

It was a competition between: Glock 17, 19, 21 , the XD 45, and Walther P99. All of which fine pieces, but as you can see - the Walther won. lol

I'm also getting a 5/6 shot 38/357mag 2-3" snubby and another 45-70(to be reamed out to 45-120) this year.

I haven't been a fan of the glock since the "new plastic gun" excitment died.
The glock seems to point tooo much like a revolver.

What the heck did you mean by that?

What the heck did you mean by that?

If you compare the angle of most glock handgrips to the barrel, its close to the same angle as revolvers.
most autoloaders its closer to a 90 degree angle.

Depending on which your accustomed to, this will make you shoot low or high.
Look at Knights photos. draw a line from the barrel thru the backstrap of his autoloader.
Now do the same thing with the revolver below. see the difference in the angle of the grip to the barrel? glock is closer to a revolver than an autoloader.

Make sense?

I don't have any guns, but i got a few knives......

Yes, it does make a lot of sense and I have to agree, I prefer to ones that are closer to the 90 degree angle.

Dtex, that is one sweet collection. I have a much smaller collection myself!
Sadly, most of mine are China/Taiwan made knock offs of the US made originals... All I got is a 1950's style 7" K-Bar but I will eventually get more authentic blades as I love them a whole a lot more than guns!
Also on my list is a set of original Katanas, though I have no idea how to smuggle them out of Japan without getting caught!

lol

[Mathster]

My blade collection consists of a Buck Titanium, Buck Approach, a Swiss army knife from Marlboro, a Case USMC knife, and a Cold Steel Tanto.
Oh, and a folding utility knife.

If any of you guys need any knives, just give me a brand, and model #, and I can get most at dealer cost. BTW, all of the inlays on the inserts, I do myself. I picked this hobby up a few back.

That is my problem though, I love knives but I do not have the slightest clue to the make/model of the knives I had seen and liked in the past...is there a good magazine or web site you can recommend to get that info?

I noticed you buy the knife first, then kill the snake with it then decorate it with the snake you killed using it....very nice setup! lol

This is the 7" Camillus (USMC) replika I have:
