The big Embassy attack that has people up in arms…. WTF was that? Guy with an AK rattles off some rounds at the Embassy then just walks around for half an hour waiting for someone to shoot him.
With all those cops around there… it took half an hour to engage the guy with an AK. Are they serious?
Uprising USA. Get it.
The Blaze has an interesting news article.
Zombies are worth over 5 Billion dollars.
I am wondering if Zombies are worth more than Werewolves or Vampires now. Hmmm. That would be interesting to know. Zombie popularity is huge. Forget Ann Rice and Edward Cullen. Zombies. They are like Bacon. They make everything better they are added to.
Now, most Zombie stories are about just base survival. Living through the Zombie Apocalypse is good… that’s fine. Uprising is about winning the Apocalypse by doing what few others do. Capitalizing on the situation and taking advantage of opportunities… and crushing evil where it’s found.
Remember me talking about this knife… like back in the Spring? Well the order I put in for one never showed up so I did a One Click order on Amazon.com and bam. I finally have it in my ogerish paws.
The Buck 110 Folding Hunter is the lock-blade knife that legitimized folding knives for any serious use. It wasn’t the first, but it was at the time the best. Good sized clip point blade, good steel, and a solid lock that just flat out works. It was the Folder to have for years.
Now the Buck 110 is still popular among the Outdoorsmen, but the Tactical community looks askance at it. It is heavy. It is shiny. It doesn’t have a pocket clip, assisted opening mechanism, or any gadget or do-dad to make it tacticool. It’s simply a knife. And that’s what I like about it.
The Ecolite version (I got the green one – don’t be shocked) fixes two of the 110’s major complaints from the Tactical Guys. It’s not shiny and its not heavy. I do wish it had a pocket clip, but I can live without it. I mean, don’t we have enough pockets and pouches and things we can carry it in? If not, it comes with its own. It’s nylon and black and can be worn vertically or horizontally. It’s a little off the beaten path for those that want to be Contractor Cool, but it’s worth looking at. Why? I’m seeing the Buck 110 as being the edged equivalent of the 1911. It’s a pioneer and its still every bit as good now as it was back in the day. In fact, the day is far from over for both of these classics.
The 110 Ecolite is sporting handles made of what Buck is called Paperstone. It’s a strong compound material that looks handsome, and really does keep the knife light. It might, I dare say, it even makes the knife more useful, as one is going to be less prone to leave the at home and use something else. And don’t think it’s too large. That’s crap. Your cell phone is probably the size of four of these knives.
I really like the knife. Wish I had it a lot sooner.
As much as I love firearms… There are some guns I absolutely hate. No justification… I just hate them. People will of course jump to to defense of these… But I still hate them. The Howa Axiom. The stock is awkward and owners are always futsing with them. The rifles are heavier than they should be. And the stock fore end feels chinsy as hell. The Desert Eagle. “I just want to hold one.” Huge, heavy, ugly, and useless. The Taurus Judge. I hated them since I first saw them. I hate selling them to people who don’t know anything about guns and have the impression that the .410 is some monster slayer. The Henry Golden Boy. I don’t mind selling Golden Boys… I just hate selling them to guys who want to scope them up… No, you can’t drill and tap the soft brass receiver. You have to use a cheesy cantelever mount. The Browning BLR. I cant stand the BLR’s bolt. That gigantic phallus that comes at your eye when you cycle the action… It’s rude. The Remington 700 BDL. Really, who uses the iron sights? Why leave them on? And if you take them off, you leave the screw holes that you have to plug up… So all that nice polished blueing is scared and flawed. Just leave the bloody sights off to start with. Seriously. The Walther G22. The carry handle and rear sight are cheesy as hell, and useless. The gun feels as cheep as something from a box of cracker jacks, and is about as reliable as Joe Biden trying to play it straight. There… I said it. These are the guns I hate.
The biggest arguments for the 9mm are that the guns have higher capacity and they have less recoil, and this lets shooters hit more and faster. Okay. Let’s take that at face value. So if that’s good, let’s take it to the next step.
Super High Capacity .32 Autos.
Why the hell not? Even less felt recoil with even higher capacity! I mean, hell, why shoot a zombie 5 times when you can hit him 9 times! Imagine your Aim Fast Hit Fast scores! Come on, don’t be a wuss… it’s all about SHOT PLACEMENT man. You know that.
I’ve been reading George RR Martin’s Game of Thrones series. As far as High Fantasy goes… I have to tell you, it is the best I’ve ever read.
The characters are well developed, believeable, and will do unexpected things. Trying to predict what will happen next is an unsuccessful effort. What happens to the characters will have you shocked, cheering, or saying “you can’t do that!”
I understand its. TV series on HBO. I look forward to getting it on DVD dome day.
The Brits are saying once again that the Declaration of Independence is illegal. They said this once before and ended up surrendering to us. If they want to press the issue again…
It’s silly to press the argument, England. Since you guys did surrender to us you recognized and legitimized us. In fact, I’d say you guys should be paying taxes to us.
Crusader Weaponry will be at the Crossroads of the West Gun Show November 19th and 20th. We will be doing some on the spot Glock tweaking, selling some Slipstream, and some training vouchers for the 2012 Training year. We’ll also record some Pod Casts, some Video, and I’ll have a few copies of Uprising USA.
So come swing by and visit with us. Saturday night, after the show, we’ll have to make some plans!
Lynn Thompson needs to be stopped. I don’t know if there is a Board of Directors there that can force Lynn out – but that’s just what needs to happen. He’s wrecking Cold Steel. When he does stuff like this, it just makes you want to kinda not ever get or carry anything else from Cold Steel.

That’s some amazingly bad stuff. Multiple cameras and a lot of production money went into making that. Wow. Walking fire… Searching fire… yeah that stuff is for fighting in the jungles of Vietnam. Not self defense in a western country. This is just so bad that I have no words.
