Re: Holy-Moly, Natives have gotten expensive.

I sent my Endura and several other knives in for sharpening a few months ago.

Shoot it first. I rented one at a a local range and shot a box through it. Very snappy recoil.

I think it would make a good back-up gun. Shooting that regularly to become proficient would be tough for me.

Might want to wait for more info to come out before starting all the tough talk. There are probably someone else with a gun in there given the amount of people, but given the panic and confusion not in a position to do anything (please no "oh I'd have put a round in his eye from 100 yards away...
