  1. new Grips, damn I like these much better I have a similar set coming that will go on my 4.25 Anaconda
  2. so after 2 days, yeah my favorite pocket knife, just a smaller version of the Fullsize auto Adamas in this amazing marbled carbon fiber and a magnacut blade so sharp my wicked edge is not needed
  3. they clean up nicely, it is far too fun to not shoot and just just keep in a safe, I had a couple of 1911's being built, I put on hold in lue of my new addiction I think I will pick up at least 1 more Python maybe a 2.5 inch
  4. So I just ran 3 cylinders of Buffalo Bore .357 through it and, I am in love! the weight calms the recoil enough to make it managable, much more than I thought it would. I will zero my sights later but was able to put all 18 bullets on the steel plate at 10 yards, so I am happy. I will put a bunch of .38 special Gold Dots through her to zero it in. I absolutely love the Wilson sights and I think the Gold front sight is the best I can have on this revolver The only negative comment I can make about this when it came from colt, the rear sight, the Wilson is leaps and bounds better and an upgrade for Pythons and Anacondas that I highly reccomend. I intend to leave the Orange front sight on my upcoming 4.5 Anaconda but already have the adjustable rear waiting for it.
  5. Mike Heffron has this and my soon to be 4.25 Anaconda on a 2 year wait list for his signature series Ultra tune to make them world class revolvers. In my opinion these are some of the finest looking wheel guns ever made.
  6. Wow this thing is amazing. I was convinced I would hate the G10 grips so I ordered some wood ones. These grips are staying they are amazing and fit my hand like a glove. I installed a Wilson Combat adjustable and a Gold Dot Wilson combat front to replace the Night Sight, this was a big time improvement. 5 star Firearms make the Speedloader equipment pictured with my New Colt. I will shoot the crap out of it next week and let you all know what I think
  7. Understood, but they carry many knives with much lower prices as well
  8. The thing that made me want it the most, I love the idea of the Magnacut blade, Benchmade is one of the companies that heat treat Magnacut steel correctly. I have had S110V, M390, S90V, all of the super steels and Magnacut heat tempered correctly will have better Edge retention, strength and Corrosion resistance to any of them. Magnacut is supposed to be harder to corrode than Spyderco Salt blades, this and the Carbon Fiber made me pay the hefty price. I loved my full-size Adamas autos, but always wanted a Mini, I will be shocked if this will not become my favorite carry knife If any of you are familiar with Devin Rob Thomas Damascus steel, Devin is a friend I met several years ago at blade show, his son Dr. Larrin Thomas created Magnacut steel and is the one who told me Benchmade knows how to properly heat treat it.
  9. I forgot to mention the Magnacut blade steel was the Icing on the cake for me, I know I will love this knife
  10. So being a Protech dealer and Benchmade as well as others over the years: Protech has always had the Best firing, most torque automatics. Benchmade once I put a TR3 Spring on my AFO2 became my favorite knife. The Benchmade Adamas as mentioned before is a Tank. The Mini Auto Adamas I have coming I expect to be my all-time favorite knife. Benchmade knives in my opinion, are well worth their prices. Spyderco makes an amazing Auto Knife as well. When you are talking about OTF Automatics Gavin Hawk and his brother make the Deadlock which in my opinion is worth the money. I however have a hard time spending nearly 2k on a knife when there are still so many guns that I desire.
  11. Yeah, that was hard for me to swallow as well, but I love the carbon fiber and wanted it soo...
  12. I have been awaiting this knife since I first heard Benchmade was planning on releasing it. I just ordered it from Benchmade Knives: 2730-03 Mini Auto Adamas - AXIS Auto - Marbled Carbon Fiber - CPM-MagnaCut (knivesshipfree.com) In case you all are not aware, these fine folks are now located here in Tennessee. I will post pictures and give you all my thoughts when I get home.
  13. I will be getting a small break, just a few days off of my offshore Project, So Saturday the 27th I should pick up my Python Combat elite. I have the Wilson Combat Gold front and rear sight and I have some special Walnut Altamont grips coming that I think should make it much more to my liking. I will update once I have her and shoot her and let you all know what I think. My 4.25 Anaconda I will pick up at the end of my offshore campaign.
  14. I have Wilson Combat Rear adjustable sights, with a Gold Bead front waiting as well, I am doing the same on the 4.25 Anaconda, I feel the only thing they got wrong with the new revolvers are the sights.
  15. I will have my new 4.25 Anaconda along with my Colt Python Combat Elite, when I get home from this trip. I can’t wait to have these added with my King Cobra Snub nose I absolutely love the new Colt Revolvers.
  16. Do any of you own one? I will be getting mine when I get home from this trip. I know the new Colts are not liked by everyone but I am a huge fan of them
  17. Mine has a pistol grip, I am getting a 1301 Beretta mod 2 with a pistol grip as well. The pistol grip for me anyway makes the shotguns easier to get a good stance when shooting
  18. Folks, I have too many watches. I have this exact watch new in the box, I removed 3 links from the bracelet, tried it on and put it in my safe. It comes in the case with everything and is in stellar condition, I will ship it for SOLD this is a $850 watch
  19. So, Oceaneva are the ones I test their watches, but my favorite Micro Brand American made watch company is Ocean Crawler. I bought the one pictured below Core Diver with the Orange band. I liked it so much that I traded the owner of Ocean Crawlers watches my Ball watch for 3 new watches of my choice. The First is a blue one Core Diver that I put a picture up of already with the leather band. The second is the full Lume Bolt model pictured below, ones shot of the watch before and one after lighted to show the Lume ( the high resolution picture shows it much better) I willl use my 3rd watch credit for something they come out with later. I absolutely love Ocean Crawler watches
  20. Next Watch to test, this one I will keep afterwards, the Mother of Pearl white caught my eye, this one will go to 3k meters when I get back to deepwater
  21. Watch survived ovet 9.5 hours at over 5400feet Seawater I Let the ROV Boss keep it, he winded it put it on his wrist, and it works keeping perfect time
  22. ROV’s can be used for any deep water operations, Science, exploration Subsea construction and maintenance, a whole industry of Oil and Gas is what I do.
  23. well today was the day, I actually thought we were going down to 5137, we went to 5470 the watch stopped working just after passing 5400 feet. While this is not the 3k meters it was rated for, this is still quite impressive. At the moment the watch looks fine at depth, the second hand stopped so when we bring the Sub on deck Ill take pictures of the watch and uodate this
