I heard about this through my gunsmithing school contacts. Not cool to put it softly. We may have 2A rights advocates in DC for the time being, but historically states have often slipped in non-Constitutional laws that take far longer to repeal than they did to implement. The more pressure we...
I know we are being tracked when me or my two adult brothers get interested in a minority topic and somehow our mom starts getting adds for those things. Not a lot of people own handmade Japanese kitchen knives. I got into them and suddenly my mom gets hit with an add on her phone. OK, weird...
Thanks for the compliments, this is the very first thing that I have made for anybody other than myself. To me it will be really cool to have made a functional piece that actually serves someone well!

Happy New Year, everyone!
I don't have one, but one of my gunsmithing instructors spoke highly of Tisas 1911s. He considered it the best value for a 1911 some years ago. The slides at the time were not forged as I believe the original Colts were, but they used high quality centrifugal casting rather than the traditional...
I cannot say that I relate directly to a lot of what you have experienced, but I have fallen subject to a sickness that may be with me for the rest of my life that is quite similar to Lyme Disease. I am a young man that should be in the prime of life, but at times I was forced to realize that my...
