Guns and ammo. Guitars and amps. Spyderco knives. Police patches.

In late 2002, Gretsch and the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation reached an agreement giving Fender control over marketing, production, and distribution of guitars, with the Gretsch family retaining ownership of the company.

All of these are worth checking out: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/squier-classic-vibe-60s-stratocaster-left-handed-electric-guitar/l58611000001000?rNtt=squier%20left%20hand&index=2...

I've been able to use the conversation contact method here on the Forum to connect with protoolman, the first member here on the forum to express interest in these grips. He has confirmed his interest in them and I am in the process of mailing them to him today.

The Matriarch is primarily for self defense. I don't carry that one often because I am always armed as a retired law enforcement officer with 50 state carry privilege. I'll carry that knife in places where firearms carry is restricted. The Navigator is my primary EDC. It is good for opening...

87flht: Member protoolman has first chance at these stocks. I'm hoping my post count gets to the minimum required soon so the messaging system works for me.

Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to gun auctions. There are just so many buyers in this hobby of ours with deep pockets. Sometimes a winning bid is the result of two buyers who just wanted the same thing very badly and price was no object. I know I have been priced out of the market...

With the price of certain medications, this might not amount to a whole lot of medicine. I'd be totally broke if I had to pay for all the meds I take (about $500 a day). Thank God for medical insurance.

I like the .40S&W cartridge. I have two semi-autos chambered for it. The cost of 40S&W ammo is pretty reasonable these days, just a bit more expensive than 9mm. I've always been a proponent of "bigger is better" so I'm glad the round is not going anywhere soon.

The only rifle cartridges I shoot are the 22 Long Rifle and the .223 Remington. I'm not a big rifle guy. As for handgun cartridges, I'll stick with what I have. Nothing new coming down the pike interests me in the slightest. The two newest cartridges that I have adopted are the .40 S&W and...

I love the Spyderco brand of pocket folding knives. I must have over 30. Spyderco's budget line, Byrd, produces some incredible knives for not a lot of money. I have two that I carry alternately, depending on where I'm going and what I'm doing. The rest are in display cases, though I'm...

I'm 70 years old, so I won't be around long enough to see the Social Security System collapse. But it surely will.

Just joined up last night. I'm a retired LEO (2005) living in Texas. I was born and raised in California, and lived there the first 54 years of my life. Moved to Texas two weeks after retirement. I've loved shooting handguns since I was a young kid and have more guns and ammo than I know...

I bought a set of these target stocks for my old Ruger Security Six revolver (150-serial prefix). They are a perfect fit and look and feel great, though they are a little pricey. If you don't mind aftermarket, these are real good. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174635902469

I have two sets of aftermarket grips (less grip screws) for a Ruger Security Six .357 Revolver (newer model, post 150- serial number). I would like to give these grips to a Security Six owner who needs them and can put them to good use. These are free and I'll pay to ship them using USPS...
