  1. Standard metal belt or boot style. I replaced this with a G-Clip. MOLLE is pretty straight forward and I have never used a Tek-loc. Perhaps you can share your experiences. This was all new to me a year ago.
  2. Here is a pic with Spyderco G-Clips. They will belt 1.75 by .25. I use them for weak side horizontal belt mount. They will go on without belt removal. Easier to remove the belt to get it off. They will also work on a pack shoulder strap, weak side handle down.
  3. I'll post their contact information. You can join the ESEE Forum and post a PM. On Facebook it's Regalia Innovations///Kydex Fabrication regalia.innovations@gmail.com Joe Estrada Joe says call his cell. 909.994.7121 The professional sharpener is Jonny Jonathan Nguyen jonnynguyen@hotmail.com He goes by 91bravo on the ESEE Forum
  4. Gander has put in a concerted effort marketing and selling guns and ammo over the lat year. Prices are spotty on guns but at least the now have a good selection of most ammo. You try Academy Sports? Buds?
  5. Nice ergonomics on the Walthers. I have a P99AS.Fits my hand better than any other semiauto.YMMV.
  6. I got a second black sheath for an identical HEST I have. Again from Joe at Regalia Innovations. Fits much nicer than the standard. These DPx have a pry bar, bottle opener, and room for fire starter or fishing Kit under the scales. Their beauty is in the functionality. Made in Idaho, USA, by Rowen, same manufacturer as ESEE.
  7. Be patient. They are slow. It's worth the wait.
  8. Picked up a like new Candiru with scales and three sheaths. It had already gone to the 91bravo sharpening spa for a hair popping edge treatment. Come on over and visit the Esee forum. Great bunch of folks and we have diverse interests from all over the world. I'm SmokyMountainDA there. http://jungletraining.com/forums/forum.php
  9. I will eventually pickup a Candiru, maybe a six. I think the sheaths were improved this year. http://www.the-knife-connection.com/eseeknives.html If you go to the knife connection site you can buy a blade and scales only and lineup some of the sheaths Dale carries or go after an after market sheath. Godspeed Tactical and Regalia Innovations make nice Kydex sheaths and there are a number of great leather craftsmen and women out there.
  10. This one is new to me, as I am a knife neophyte. Looks good though. Clean lines, safety, what's the steel? G10 right? Now is that an "Emerson" flipper?
  11. Purchased a couple HESTs at the Blade Show. The are now made by Rowen. The Company in Idaho who makes ESEE knives. I wasn't really crazy about the sheaths. Ran into a Kydex fabricator in CA who had done a cool camo sheath for a HEST and had him make me a couple. Will accommodate Spyderco G-Clip or Molle. The edge on this knife has been convexed by a long time blade guy in AL. Needs only stropping now to keep it sharp. This thing is sharp....really sharp.
  12. TDR. Thanks for your clarification. Apology noted and accepted. Some of comments here are nothing compared to another Forum I participate in. I learned a lesson too. I will not post prices in the future. If someone wants to know I will respond to a PM request.
  13. I posted this on two other forums. I have never come across anything like this before. Up until a week ago I never knew any of these existed. I am not a gunsmith or a dealer. My intention wasn't to look at these, shoot them and offer a "market" price because I won't know the market value is until I sell them. Today they are worth only what someone is willing to pay. Tomorrow if the US Federal Government passes the UN Small Arms Treaty and all these become illegal the value may go to zero. Then the seller came out very well. My point? In the future I am going to post pictures of my firearms but I will not post the price. Let us focus on the wood and steel. I'm disappointed that there those in the firearms community who turn a sharing event into a moral passing of judgement regarding my integrity. Here are a couple more pics in better light and cleaned up.
  14. That's really nice. That and a Smith K Frame in .357 are about all the guns a man would need ...... Except......
  15. The seller didn't know what he had, didn't want to take the time to find out and said his kids didn't want them. He lives in a million dollar house on a lake. I'm going to make sure they have a good home for another 50 years. I'll shoot them and keep them in tip top condition. Interesting that the fellow only shot the Scout. The other three were given to him by his Dad who wasn't into guns according to the seller.
  16. Clueless. Wasn't computer literate so no research done. Apparently no kids or grand kids. I ran a classified ad in my local hood, thinking there were enough retirees who might have guns they wanted out of the house or cash, with no heirs. I have a few more to pursue, mostly revolvers, Ruger Blackhawk .45LC, a Single Six, and a S&W 44 6.5 scoped. Anyone interested in a Thompson Center .50 white Mountain Carbine with a scope? Taurus model 80 as new (Smith Model 10 copy). Alfa 32-30.
  17. I currently have two .22s. A Ruger 10/22 and a Marlin bolt action single shot I had growing up. This was probably a once in a lifetime event. Each case I opened brought more concealed excitement. When I hit the 39A in excellent condition and then the Matchmaker I knew I had Shafts Big Score.
  18. Four Classic 22 Rifles I bought these four 22 rifles last week. Remington Matchmaster 513-T Lyman sights. Built 1940-68. I think this is a 1941. Marlin 39A 1954 Remington Model 24 22short Semiauto. Lyman sights. Breaks down with no tools in seconds. 1922-35. Tube comes out of stock. Stevens Little Scout Model 14 1/2. Single shot LR, rolling breech lock. 1909-1936. This semiauto 24 with easy break down is really a cool John Browning design. About 75 years old. Lyman sight on The Matchmaker. Calibrated to 200 yards. Very heavy target rifle in VG condition. These haven't been fired in years but are in good to very good condition. I have been having fun taking them down, learning about the respective mechanisms, and cleaning them up. Bores are all good to excellent. I think the resale value is easily double to triple based on my research.
  19. And a free extended magazine for or trouble.
  20. DAdams

    XDS

    Extended magazine with extension and sleeve to come with each unit. I'll take it. That will make two.
  21. Tactical Taylor makes nice gear. Camelback is good. Eblerstock Halftrack is highly regarded. Kifaru, very high end Granite Gear
  22. My 3MIL with Knife Connection scales Izula II 3, I2, DPX HEST by Rowen
  23. Back goes my .45. The bigger pain for me is that no one is at home to sign for it when it comes back. In the Comments section I asked for a complimentary magazine for my trouble. That's what Ruger does. In the interim ..... Think I will carry a revolver.
  24. There is a safety recall out on the XDs. You can read about it on the Springfield website. Mine has to go back, thought I waited long enough for the debugging.... I only have fifty rounds through mine. Two different ball, Remington and WWB and two different weight Remington JHP. All ran fine. I'm going to put a Hogue Handall on it and shoot it some more. I shoot my XDM 3.5 .45 better. It's one of my favorites.
