There are not a whole lot of hot Villainesses in Sci-Fi and Fantasy. These are my Top Five Favorites. Each one is an evil bea-otch that uses her womanhood to ruin men or are just plain evil-crazy and reminds me of someone I used to know. Descending Order:
Old School Security
Thank you to Retired Officer Eric for the cool old school Army holster. I was wanting just such a rig for riding in the mountains. Looking at the gear inspired me to take a photo.
Does anyone have an Plates for the vest? I still need the plates.
Utah is Gun Land?
In a prime example of shlock reporting, KSL News has managed to screw up a simple story. They talked to a 3 people in putting this story together. 1. Another KSL Reporter. 2. Some dude from back east. 3. An Anti-Gun Reporter named Gunn. They didn’t talk to anyone else in Utah… like Utah Gun Owners. They could have gone to any of the Dealers in Utah, talked to some Utah Instructors… But they didn’t. It’s as if they wanted to keep distance from the topic as much as possible. The other thing that bugs me… KSL has called Utah, “Gun Land“. This is a tag I’ve never heard. So I did a search and the only reference to Gun Land, other than the Deseret News bit that was mentioned, was another article… this time from the SLC Tribune Blog, in an Opinion Piece.

Those who ordered Sterlings…
Please Contact Joe at Crusader Weaponry… Some sent along FFL’s for shipping without your contact information to go with it. I doubt your local Dealers know your WTA or other Screen Names. But maybe they do! Regardless, please be a good sport, and ease Joe’s worries. Much thanks!
Shooting the Sterling
The Sterling: Designed in 1942. Perfected in 2011. Okay, that’s a bit much… and it’s cheesy as hell. However during test firing today at Ballistic Testing Zone One, the Sterling didn’t have a single malfunction of any kind. The gun ran flawlessly.
Sterling Photos
I took a few photos with the Sterling…
I don’t care, Obama is awesome
Sterling SMG’s
Yesterday I went over to Crusader HQ and helped work on the Sterling SMG project. I had some fun doing it… I really did.
The Sterling is a unique weapon. It’s simple to the point that it makes an AK look complicated, yet it has a crude elegance about it. The parts that came were all in various conditions and each one had it’s own personality. The parts had to be all be cleaned, resurfaced / Slipstreamed. It was time consuming, but we knocked them out pretty good. Joe still has to do the finish work…. One of them is going to be Pink. It should turn out awesome.
One thing that impressed me was the Slipstream process. It’s easy to describe, but very challenging to do. It’s a blind process that is done by feel. It takes an experienced touch to do it, and Joe has that. The result is a Sterling that actually feels like a weapon. No grinding feel, no grit. Huge difference compared to the last Sterling I fired. Photos Soon.
Recent Movies
Battle LA: I enjoyed it a lot… I thought it was very well done. It felt like you were watching someone play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but it was fun. It even had the short vehicle stage. Overall it was a great recruiting effort for the US Marines. Which is a good thing, so I don’t begrudge them that at all. But where is the movie about soldiers where they sit around and wait all the time? Like in real life?
Sucker Punch: Distill all awesomeness and unfiltered imagination and mix in heavy metal and hot chicks… and that about sums up Sucker Punch. The phrase Eye Candy doesn’t cut it… it’s Eye Crack… Zack Snyder did it… he made Crack for your Eyeballs. I can’t go into any detail, because I’m still blown away by it. Fight Choreography is something that Zack is very good at, not only that, but he’s very good at actually showing you the fight. Not like some movies where there is so much happening you can’t tell what’s going on (GI JOE) but he actually shows you the fight. Like his previous masterpiece “300”, this one is going to rock you. It’s required viewing. You have to go see this one. ASAP.
Going Classic… kinda
I wanted a new pocket knife. I know, I have a bunch… but I’ve carried all of them and they have lint on them now. You know what I mean? That and they are mostly all “Tactical” of some sort. Well, one of my favorites has been a Buck Avid Select. The problem it has is that it feels too delicate for hard work. It’s a great knife and wicked sharp… but I want something a little more tough. This thin Buck though has made me look at other Buck knives and I kinda kept coming back to the classic 110 Folding Hunter. The Buck 110 is what really started the folding knife as being an acceptable outdoorsman’s knife. The lock mechanism, the clip point blade, and a good size made it great knife for all around use.
