SKS:That says a lot.Knowwhatcha mean about the 21:I've a big hand & it feels like I'm holding a 2X4.
savage11:Good Points!
All Glock shooters:?How sensitive are both to limp-wristing?

I can get a Heritage Arms Stealth .40 for $200.10 rd mags,trigger much like a Glock,frame-mounted safety,compact & light.My bitchs with it are no hi-caps & it's not a common gun(this latter might be an advantage).OTOH it IS a .40,would double available rounds & have that fast reload.Humm...

I'm srtongly considering going to a hi-cap 9mm as my primary carry gun(yes I'm legal) & have narrowed it down the the Glock 19 or one of the Beretta 92 variants.I've shot both & shoot both equally well.I like the ligher weight of the Glock but factory mags are like hen's teeth.I like the man...

I second 4 s ter's post:I've bought 4 50/50 Delicas(gifted 1;2"grew legs&quot<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> & am quite pleased.EXCELLENT all-around knife:light weight,narrow profile(narrower if you remove the clip),& that combo edge is NOT a gimmick-a...

Kahz;My apologies on behalf of us gringos. Re stereotypes:I'm an East Tennessee hillbilly so I'm not supposed to wear shoes,carry a flintlock muzzleloader,chew tobacco constantly & be illiterate.As a male nurse I'm supposed to be gay.As an NRA member I'm supposed to to be to the right of Rush Li...

I carry the FRN Delica for the same reason I carry a M-38(Airweight Bodyguard:aluminum frame)S&W:a small knife in the pocket beats the big knife at home.

Combat Handguns(& I recommend Ayoob's'self-defense & the law' column to everyone)

Reader's Digest
& just about anything else I get my hands on*G*!

No.There have been times in the past when I felt bad for NOT having one;now I keep a backup handy.A hearty second to those who've advocated discretion(not'flashing')& educating those who see & fret on the use of a knife.Well Said!

*Sigh* Like my buddy @ work who bought a Belgium-made Browning Hi-Power with 3 factory hi-cap mags,a leather military-style holster & an IWB for $250.?Why can't I find deals like that*pout*?(*G*)

Clay:I just reread your inital post.Try a Websearch for'police bookshelf'or'massad ayoob'(Police Bookshelf is Mas' company) as they have at least one book on useing the Maglight as a defensive weapon.Paladin Press,Delta Press or Loompanics would also be good sources to check.www.gunvideo.com has a t...

Tegner was one of the first Americans to write seriously about the martial arts back in the 60's.I'd call him sound.?Where'd you find the book-I want a copy! J.J.Truncale(Pro-Systems,POB 261,Glenview,IL 60025-0261.www.samuraiway.com)has a system specific to the curve-handled cane.I've seen his video...

Apologies for double post.Glitch.

Most states have provision in their laws for felons to apply thru the courts for restoration of their rights to vote,own arms,etc.I'd suggest y'all see a lawyer about this.It's a state-by-state,case-by-case & likely a judge-by-judge(hopefully you won't get some hardass'once a crook always a croo...

P.S.-re"looking dangerous":Massad Ayoob comments that when he carried a Colt.45 in Condition One he got many"Isn't carrying a cocked gun dangerous?" questions.He says he usually patiently explained how that's how the 1911 was designed to be carried & is safe in that Condition...

What do you do Nicholls?-I'm an R.N.myself.I've been in health for 28 years & have always carried at least 1 knife.My 50/50 Delica gets an"Ooohhhh that's a weapon!"reaction,to which I respond"No,it's a pocketknife."A Buck Prince-style(FRN handle:don't recall the model[?anyone...

The tradition of always recieving money for a knife(i.e.you"sell"a knife for a penny to a friend)is quite common worldwide for the reasons GlockDoc & golok give.Personally when I gift a knife to someone they know it's special;that I don't hand-out knives to just anyone & they tend ...

Try Smokey Mountain KnifeWorks(I don't know thir Website):they tend to have such stuff.

I gave a Delica to 1 special friend & promptly had to get him another one as the first"grew legs"(Spydies seem to do that*G*).Got my sons the Q's.Knives are'warrior's gifts'in the Native American tradition:given to those embarking on a journey(spiritual or otherwise).I have given"...
