Gunfighters

Ok thanks. Browsing their site now and I'm not sure I like how the auto locks. Can't find a good diagram of it. The titanium leaf spring in my Ti-Lite will hold 120lbs without failing so I could almost hang off it if needed! And it only cost me $65 compared to the $240+ I was seeing for some of the BM autos. My wife would kill me if I spent that kind of money on a knife!

 

They have a super strong plunge lock. The AF had a safety. Now the Army does. You have to pull it back because it creeps on just enough to ruin your ruined day.
If this is your only chance to get out of a helo, this thing has to work one handed and fast.

 

Yeah. I can understand that. I like how the ti-lite will flip open as it's pulled out of my pocket so I don't have to reach for a switch, thumb stud, etc. Just pull and flick my wrist. Although I can see that being a problem on a helo or other confined area. Best not to have the blade open unless you want it to.

 

I carry the AF when flying and a fixed blade canopy opener.
Of course, the .45 will open the canopy, but the noise.

 

I wonder if the rest of the forum shares klown`s opinion.

 

I don't either. I may think you're a bit crazy, but I like to hang out with people like that. Makes life more interesting.

 

There was an old SSG. who hated to jump.
An SFC was the jump master and had known this guy in other airborne units.
After the whining in the plane, he asks the SSG, If you hate to jump so much, why have you been in jump units for 15 years?
He said, I just like to hang around with the people who do.

 

AMEN!!!!

 

I will give ya`all one ID.
I can`t believe an ID card exceeds the limits.
I will have to ask TCBob to post it.

 

The VA ID was not supposed to be there.
Someone owes the Infantry.

 

Dan-I'm not gonna go deep here, just to say a man of your caliber ought not give a ratshit what this forum thinks. You're always welcome here in my book. Those of us who know here feel that way.

 

I came here to learn about my new Taco. I did that.
I have been shot at and hit. I have been shot at and missed.
Here I was shit at and forced to make it a miss.

I may as well verify my Tail Hook story while I`m at it.
In the Army we call this chicken shit.

 

Well, lets here from the gunfighters.
Who here has exchanged wounds with an armed, hostile force?

 

Here is an example of the old AFO.
OK. plan B. a MCI AND AN afo.

 

If I did not like what I do, I would not have done it for more than twenty years.

 

GI folders;

 

I`ll tell you something. The support to shooter ratio is quite high. Trigger pullers do not have time for anything else. As it is, sleep deprivation is a problem. So the food, clothes, ammo, beer and all else is done for you.
Someone has to do it.
They serve too.
The Army says, if you need a wife, we will issue you as many as you need.

 

Speak to me after you get your cup full.

You civilians would not know the real world if a 105 brought it gift wrapped.
