I love tritium.
One thing I’ve really grown to like is tritium. Up until recently, I’d only encountered it in night sights. A little over a year ago I picked up a Luminox SEAL watch. Now I’m spoiled. I have since seen it used to accent knife handles and even flashlights (go figure). Now whatever I look at or buy, I’m thinking of how it could be better if it glowed in the dark. I really...

Book Review - Cartridges of the World, 11th...
There are many great books about guns out there. Some are more useful to a smaller number of collectors. While it is one of the most thorough books I’ve seen, Parker Gun Identification & Serialization by S. P. Fjestad isn’t of much use to an Ithaca or Smith & Wesson collector.
Cartridges of the World by Frank C. Barnes is a great reference. I’m reviewing the 11th edition...
Sig Sauer P250 2SUM →
Click the post title to see the article.
I’ve liked the idea of the Sig P250 since I first got a look at one. I like multi-caliber capable guns. Whether a factory option or aftermarket modding, it’s one of my favorite features. The AR-15, the UZI, the 1911, the Glock, the list goes on. Eventually I’ve got to get one of the P250s. I really like the ergonomics of the...

Fine Swiss watch... err revolver.
I got a look at one of the coolest old revolvers I’ve ever seen. The Swiss Model 1882 service revolver chambered in 7.5mm Swiss (obviously not the rifle round). Manufactured by Waffenfabrik Bern, it’s got a tapered octagon barrel, fluted cylinder, and double action trigger. The gun was produced from 1882 to 1950. The example I saw had checkered, hard rubber grips with the Swiss cross...

NFA info of this blog.
I just wanted to post that I will be writing about law enforcement/military only items as well as civilian legal firearms regulated by the National Firearms Act on this blog. Like many Americans, I live in an NFA friendly state. While I don’t own any NFA items, I do enjoy shooting them at the range when I get the opportunity. Silencers, machineguns, etc. are perfectly legal in most states...

New can from Silencerco - The .45 Osprey
SIlencerco has a new .45 silencer in the works. The Osprey is rumored to be hearing safe when shot dry. The only others I know of that can claim to be hearing safe dry are the new AAC Ti-Rant .45 and the Knights Armament MK23 “SOCOM” but only when it is on an H&K Mark 23. At some point I hope to get a chance to shoot an Osprey side by side with a Ti-Rant, the hard part is finding...

Gear Review - Maratac Silicone Watch Band
I received my new Maratac silicone watchband from County Comm. I bought it for my new Citizen Military watch. It was easy to fit and is very comfortable. I got the brown one for a 20mm lug. It is quicker on and off than the factory band and I like it a lot. The band has a series of holes that are used to cut and fit the strap. The snap has a few holes in it that are for minor length adjustments....

Gear Review - Citizen Eco-Drive Military Watch...
I just picked up a new watch. It’s a Citizen Military with chronograph (Model AT0200-05E). The MSRP is $215 but they can be found for almost half of that at several big online sources. The body is stainless steel and is water resistant to 100m. It runs on their Eco-Drive system which charges off of almost any light source. It has a green canvas band but I have a Maratac silicone band on the...
Introduction.
I’m starting up a blog at the recommendation of a few friends and family members. I’ll mainly be blogging about guns, knives, and EDC (Every Day Carry) gear. I’m looking forward to trying this whole thing out.
