I have the green and metallic scaled versions as well. I love that its made in America, has great lines akin to the Spydercos, which I really like. It is only 30 dollars and can be found at any Walmart. I know its not made of the most premium steel but mine has performed very well. I love it.

My pockets were pretty full today.
May 19, 2014, 10:20 PM
Yes, it's Chinese. I believe it is a unique design, though. So please don't crucify me.
I was so worried about carrying such a small blade, I carried a backup while I evaluated it. I'm down to just this one, and the anxiety is gone. She gets the job done.
May 19, 2014, 10:23 PM
Yeah you were full, Sam. Have a good cigar today? Those inexpensive Ronson torch lighters are great buys. Nice blades too.
May 19, 2014, 10:26 PM
I like the design on that sleek little knife...great color on the scales as well, Gloob.

I had a pretty fair Romeo Maduro and a couple Leinkugels. ;)

They really are!
Everyone should have the means of starting a fire and a knife on their person whenever possible.

Nice cigars...my regulars are the Parodis dry cured cheroots.
I like that neck knife...not familiar with the make/model.

Found knife. USA made Kershaw. 3" blade. Assisted 1 finger open. Best pocket knife I have ever known. 198596198597
May 19, 2014, 11:54 PM
-That laminate is very interesting, to be sure. What are the two materials?
-The "cheapos" can be jewels :) I like some of the UCs fancy designs...I had a nicely faux jeweled one I lost years ago....still miss it.
-I love the leathermen....I have a multitool I've had for 20 years and going strong.
-Kershaw makes some great designs...the finger flipper is quite convenient. Nice knife.

Kershaw Thermite clipped to strong side pocket. FourSevens QTL [Quark Tactical single (R)CR123] on the key ring, Nitecore IFD2 clipped to the weakside pocket.
The Thermite has replaced several more expensive folders as my edc, since I bought it a couple months ago. It was purchased to "try out" Kershaw's semi-low priced Chinese made frame locks. Obviously they're quite a value.
May 20, 2014, 12:19 AM
Ug...how goes your experiences with the Spydercos? Did you get resolution re: the problem areas?
Have not heard of the Thermite.
May 20, 2014, 12:32 AM
Which coldsteel knife?
I had one of their push daggers years ago and really liked the design...nice sharp edge and a semi-false edge on the reverse.

Spyderco Native and Endura and and Grandpa's old shrade for whitling
May 20, 2014, 04:55 AM
This Frankenknife :-)
bought it on eBay for 1$ many moons ago. It`s an old Solingen fishing folder,
that apparently got a new blade welded to it. It´s carbonsteel,
sharpens faily easy and serves as my office knife.
(we haz a gas bbq on the terrace :-) )

The Sardinian resolza has been getting a lot of carry and use. I'm getting very impressed by friction folders.
I've also been carrying my dad's old Christy knife just for the nostalgia factor, but it is a handy little sucker.
May 20, 2014, 10:37 AM
Timberline/SwissBianco Neck Angel - G-10 and 440 stainless laminate. Very light and very easy to carry as a result. No need for "better" steel since it isn't going to be used for heavy work.

I pocket my coldsteel recon1. This is the best knife I have ever owned. It even beats my old cutco. Haha.
May 20, 2014, 09:53 PM
Crkt foresight, leatherman blast, thrunite t10s, phone, wallet, pen, firesteel. Plenty of people want to give you crap for having an EDC, if only they'd listen long enough to hear how much I genuinely use all of it. Not that I really care, their loss. And then there is all the borrowing of said EDC items...
May 21, 2014, 02:50 AM
Leatherman wingman, Schrade old timer (Buck 110 clone). Everything else is either in my tool box or the tool bag or locked in the truck (I'm at work).
May 25, 2014, 02:09 PM
Today I have a different flavor of the same knife. Grey scaled version. My Motorola Razor and a case for contacts ( I use them to hold medication and not contacts, the screw on feature works better than the snap/friction fit medication cases).
Some great responses...lets keep this going...what's in your pocket right now? :)

One of Case's new Amber bone handled Sodbusters, a Case Pen knife, a Case yellow handled slimline trapper. I also carried Cross sterling silver pen/pencil set.
May 31, 2014, 12:33 PM
Beautiful folder, Snapshot!
Mind giving us some specs? Where did you purchase it?
May 31, 2014, 12:35 PM
You too are loaded up, Brian. I usually only carry one knife but have multiple available in the house, car, etc...
I wonder if a lot of folks carry more than 1 or 2 knives?
May 31, 2014, 01:05 PM
Not my "pocket", exactly: id tags, original DK-EC in 3V, micro lights.

Sam I love the little extra goodies you have stowed in your pockets...from energy drink tabs to gum wrappers...very authentic.
June 1, 2014, 08:57 PM
Nice knives Russ! A good quality assortment.
Liberty, I have always loved the Opinels. Great knife at any price.
June 2, 2014, 12:16 AM
Benchmade Emissary 477, the big brother of the 470. Very nice knife. Axis lock with spring assist. Flicks open as fast as any switchblade, but completely legal in most states.
June 2, 2014, 12:43 AM
I purchased the Spyderco Bug and the SOG Micron thinking they might be lighter than my Gerber 200 but when I put them on the scale the Gerber 200 was a little bit lighter.
Replacing my Maglite Solitaire with a StreamLight Nano, made my key chain lighter and it now takes up less room in my pocket. I also replaced my all-metal car key with one that has a plastic head on it - which also made my pocket lighter.
But all that stuff is in my left pocket, and in my right pocket is my Rohrbaugh R9

June 2, 2014, 11:38 AM
Northwoods stockman, 4 nches closed, cocobolo scales, 1095 steel. Very smooth light pull on blades. Been carrying it for a while now, and edge holding is great, and pocket friendly.

Thanks, I am really liking the 0560 it is a BEAST! A bit chunkier to carry than my previous EDC, a Benchmade 710, but the titanium frame makes it feel lighter than a knife it's size should. The elmax steel takes and holds a scary sharp edge as well. I picked it up from The Knife Connection, which is a great company to deal with BTW. Excellent customer sevice and great prices. Click the link for better pics and specs.

June 3, 2014, 03:05 PM
As far as knives go, I usually carry a Zero Tolerance 0350 and a small SAK. If I need something lighter than the ZT, I substitute a small Case Stockman or an Opinel number 6. I suspect a small Leatherman will join the menagerie soon.
June 3, 2014, 03:48 PM
Benchmade AFO II Black Serrated Auto.
I love AZ knife laws.
June 3, 2014, 07:55 PM
First purchase from Cold Steel. Rajah III. Seems like a decent knife at a fair price. The thumb stud functions similarly to the Emerson Wave and opens the blade when you pull the knife from your pocket.
June 3, 2014, 10:20 PM
Today a black SAK and a no name peanut along with a Kershaw speed safe .

Always two knives. Today it was my Spyderco Tenacious and a Winchester yeller pen knife. Receipt for Austin landscape stone and a mix of peppermint and wintergreen hard candies.
10 silver eagles for a couple hours too after the trip to the post office.;)

Edited to add: I am a construction worker & the screw tips don't get taken when they are in my pocket.

Just got back from walking the dogs, so nothing fancy. A Fenix E01, plastic shopping bags, a house key, and a silver Vic Cadet.
The wife and I took our son to the Moorpark zoo earlier today, so I added a small boo boo kit, hand sanitizer, and diaper bag full of things of a three year old needs on a day out!

Ahh the good ol' Buck 110.
June 11, 2014, 01:18 PM
I've got a Schrade Uncle Henry 707UH Gambler in my pocket right now. I like a pocket knife with a pair of scissors on it, and my place of work limits the size blade I can carry. The 707UH meets both criteria.
I do usually carry a larger Spyderco or Kershaw on the weekend or when I'm not at work.

I forget which Opinel model# this is, but it has the 3.5" carbon steel blade. I opened up the pivot slot a little bit to make it easier to open, so opening it one-handed is not too much trouble now. The thin cross section is easy to keep sharp and the classic old-school look is just what I want in an everyday knife.
June 16, 2014, 04:05 AM

June 16, 2014, 07:49 PM
Just got Kershaw Drone A/O, nice knife.
June 16, 2014, 11:10 PM
Very nice, Doc. I just got a Kershaw Cryo from my little girl for Dad's day. Kershaw's are good knives and quite affordable. After examining the Cryo more closely, removing the useless thumb studs (useless for me...it has a flipper and I couldn't activate via the studs due to hand size) I have really come to like the little knife aside from the fact its from my daughter.
June 17, 2014, 01:44 AM
9mmforMe, it was a homebuild project. An off cut barrel from a .22-250 and fitted with a nipple to use red toy-caps as ignition, 5gr 2F and a 30gr Piledriver pellet- scary dangerous for such a little pistol.
June 17, 2014, 02:18 AM
Very impressive...you did a nice job. Sounds like it packs a good punch for its size.

June 21, 2014, 07:49 PM
Wonderful gift!
I have one of the smaller paraframes and its a nifty little blade...I'll slip it in my pocket when dressed up.
June 21, 2014, 07:52 PM
Sounds like its Christmas!
How do you like the Ruger? I held one at a local gun shop and the ergonomics were great...as well as the trigger. Have you encountered any problems with that little pistol? I really like some of Ruger's products, though I was sad to see the P95s discontinued.
June 21, 2014, 07:57 PM
I have not had much in my pockets today...I've been working on the pool...its has a saline chlorinator and though they are touted as needing less attention, getting any pool started is a chore (one that I actually love to do, especially when the little girl and I are playing in the cool water on hot days like today)
So...I have had this around my neck since my trunks have been wet all day. I love this little Folts.
June 21, 2014, 08:31 PM
9mmforMe..........Love the SR9C...Low recoil and easy to pop bullseyes at 10 yards with that little pistol! I have a pair of 17 round mags and a pair of 10's I have shot some +P+ Ranger SXT Lawman ammo and several hundred reloads with lots of bullets and powders and loads with never a jam or a burp! My wife carries it a lot and loves it!. I've had kids shoot it as young as 6 and they loved it as well LOL!...They were good shots too! Its just a total pleasure to shoot!
June 22, 2014, 01:12 AM

Dirty Bob
July 15, 2014, 02:50 PM
This is the "core" of my EDC. I've been carrying this knife for over 8 years (this pic is from 2006), not because it's the finest steel, or the prettiest knife, but because it works and is faster than any knife I've owned.
The little Jantz blade is of good quality. I buy blades from them, and from Texas Knifemaker Supply. The blade was double-edged, with a serrated back edge, when it arrived. I spent some time with a padded bench vise and a half-round file and sandpaper to change it to a "skinner" profile. Texas Knifemaker Supply has their Black Hole Skinner (http://www.texasknife.com/vcom/product_info.php?cPath=119_299_393&products_id=716), which is very similar to my blade from Jantz, for $15.
I "fold" the keys against the sheath for pocketing. I then cover them with a folded handkerchief. The flat side of the sheath is against my leg in the pocket. The keys are on the side away from me. The handkerchief is toward the outside.
I catch the corner of Kydex sheath on my pocket on the draw. The weight of the keys helps the sheath stay in the pocket. In "shady" areas, I walk around with my right forefinger hooked in the hole of the knife in my pocket. I can tighten my hand and pull it out, dragging the spine of the knife against the pocket. The sheath drops away. It's a clean draw in well under a second.
I can't get to a concealed pistol anywhere near as fast. The hands in pockets shouldn't look aggressive or weird. I know it's a small knife, but I'd rather have a small knife than empty hands.
For utility use, I use the CRKT Ringer 3 (neck chain) or the SAK Classic (on my keys). The quick-connect that joins the knife and keys can be popped open easily, so I just draw the keys from my pocket and avoid spooking the people around me.
It works for me!
...if this sounds paranoid, it's based on experience. In 2001, in the touristy downtown of one of the largest cities in the US (a city we were in the process of moving to), in a crowded area in broad daylight, my wife and I were targeted by a mugging team. It took place in an outdoor stairwell, and when the blocker moved into our path, I looked behind us to see another person -- a tweaker-looking guy who'd been 100 yards away moments before -- cutting off escape. My right hand dived into my pants pocket and grabbed the sliding utility knife there. I gripped it so that I'd be able to open it the instant it came out of the pocket and chose where I was going to try to use it on the very large, young, muscular man in front of me. He saw my intent -- although the knife stayed in the pocket -- and stepped aside. An EDC knife saved us from a robbery or from something much worse.

The usual stuff...
My Dad imparted a bit of wisdom upon me one day while in camp during one of our annual fall fish and hunts. The men, Uncles, Cousins and distant somewhat related folk, were mulling around camp after a long day of fishing and hunting and my dad pointed out how a few were searching out camp looking for someone who had a knife that they could borrow to clean their take. The ones searching he noted were my city raised uncles. One by one he asked his brothers if they were using or had their pocket knife with them. All replied with a yep or a yes and displayed proudly their knife. He turned to me and said " You can tell if a person is from farm stock by the fact that they have a well used pocket knife." He also noted that a pocket knife's size is less important than the knowledge of how to use it. I watched my uncles and Dad that year and noticed that they used their pocket knives much more frequently than their hunting knives. Likewise I've found that small knife that gets mixed in with my change is used far more often than the large knife clipped to that same pocket. It's a tool I rely on day to day. It is simple and durable as any good pocket knife should be.

Finally broke down and got my first Sebenza. I thought the #21 was only "Okay", but it was the #25 with its almost flat ground blade that won me over. Didn't realize how big the redesigned pivot is until I began playing with it and comparing it to other big folders of mine.
Verdict is still out if it becomes a constant carry, I just like playing with different knives too much.

5 True Stories Behind the Most Badass Photographs Ever Taken
Photography is the art of capturing the one picture that best defines a moment. It is used to distill the pure beauty of nature into a single serene image. It is used to portray humanity's deepest sufferings and greatest triumphs. And occasionally, it is used to capture the exact second that mankind reached into its giant bag of fucks to give and found it completely empty.
#5. Racing Fire
Adek Berry / Stringer
You may have already seen this photo circulating somewhere. It's usually titled something funny, like "Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions," or something succinct, such as "Motorcyclist Flees Fire." It doesn't really matter, does it? Words are an afterthought here. That man is fleeing what is obviously a gargantuan disaster, and he is doing so with the kind of resolute jaw and steely-eyed gaze that can only be measured in magnitudes of Bruce Willis.
But while the image alone certainly tells a compelling story of determination (and possibly revenge? Dude sure looks like he's on his way to dropkick some terrorists), there are two important facts to note: First, that is a scooter, not a motorcycle. There's a big difference between fleeing certain doom on an agile, ground-based missile and doing so on one half of a clown car. Scooter Man up there saw the physical manifestation of the end times approaching him -- a giant, roiling, molten smoke cloud straight out of The Lord of the Rings -- and he looked at his 30 mph moped and thought, "Eh, I'm in no hurry." The second thing to note: That is not a factory explosion or even a forest fire behind him. That is an erupting volcano. And a friggin' huge one at that. This photo was taken during the 2010 eruption of Mount Merapi in Central Java, which looked like this:
And this:
Sonny Tumbelaka / Getty
Jesus Pogo-Dancing Christ. Both of those pictures look like they'd be shot down as overkill for the cover of a Slayer album, not like actual events that unfolded in reality. If that shit was happening behind me, I wouldn't be calmly motoring away on a moped. I'd plane-jack a fighter jet and get about 20 feet down the runway before dying of dehydration from the incessant crying and fear urination. And yet here is Scooter Man, mounting up a glorified lawnmower and gently commuting out of the way of volcanic destruction with an expression valued at 11^Bruce Willii.
#4. Mastering Lightning
University of Florida Lightning Research Group
That is the forceful urinary stream of Thor. It is the accusing finger of Zeus. That photograph up there is exactly what old-timey Christians pictured when somebody said "May God strike me down if I'm lying!" You may have seen similar images billed as lightning rods in action, but that is not at all what's happening here. What's happening here is way more awesome. What's happening here is perhaps the most hilariously reckless abuse of science in mankind's short intellectual history. What's happening here ... is the launch of a lightning rocket.
University of Florida Lightning Research Group
Of all the possible meanings that the phrase "lightning rocket" can imply -- a lightning rod attached to a rocket, lightning that just happens to be hitting a rocket, a rocket that you fire at lightning in a desperate bid to finally kick-start a war with Valhalla -- the reality of an actual lightning rocket shames them all. A lightning rocket is a rocket fired into the tumultuous sky with the intent of triggering and controlling lightning strikes. There are a variety of methods a lightning rocket can employ, from a simple copper wire to a smokescreen of super-conductive liquid, but the end result is always the same: Mankind can now control storms by kicking their goddamn asses.
Too often, science boils down to subtle effects, microscopic results, and careful balances of forces and chemicals. But every once in a while, science boils down to "Fuck that thing, hit it with a missile." And every once in a while, the Fuck-It Missile works. The Fuck-It Missile works like goddamn crazy.
#3. Standing Ground Against a Tsunami
This photo is from the 2004 Indonesian Tsunami. How does this exist? Did the photographer have time to text this image to his loved ones, with the caption "I'm sorry for everything I've ever done," before the water reached him? Did the camera wash up on a beach in Nova Scotia two years later? Look at that: All of those people are either dead or the spoiled secret identity of Aquaman. Right? They have to be. The Indonesian Tsunami was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history, and all of those folks are standing close enough to ground zero that, if this was a party, it would be considered rude not to introduce themselves to it. And it looks like they were caught completely off guard, too. They're all just turning to flee the monster wave ...
Well, all except this guy.
He looks like he's about to bust out the popcorn and enjoy the show, not realizing that his doughy torso is the set piece for the climactic action sequence. Or maybe he's just confident that his giant balls are going to act as ballast and float him away to safety when the water comes in. Or maybe we're all just focusing on the wrong man here. It's true: Everybody else in the photo appears to be running, except for the balding buoy of badass up there, and this guy ...
... who, upon discovering that he was standing on the breaking point of a biblical apocalypse, apparently ripped off his shirt and adopted a surfing stance.
Where is his board, you ask? Where he's going, he won't need boards.
Wait, he's not dead now? How can that possibly be? Well, this photo was taken in Ao Nang, Thailand, and somewhere behind that explosion of water, there is a wall serving as a breakwater. The pictured wave is actually the second one to hit Ao Nang -- the first was so destructive and dramatic, that after it was over, all of these people wandered down to the shore to gawk at the aftermath. That's when the second, bigger wave hit them right in their rubbernecking faces...and killed precisely none of them. Suck it, Darwin.

The St. Bonaventure women's basketball team remained perfect at home at 4-0 after defeating Kent State, 79-42, the Bonnies' largest win margin this season.
Bona, 7-6, was led by CeCe Dixon, who scored 17 points and also hit a three three-pointers. The Bonnies finished with seven blocks in the first half, three from freshman Katie Healy of Lancaster.
Doris Ortega scored 12 points and was 71 percent from the field. Hannah Little led the team in rebounding for the second time this year with seven boards.
MEN'S HOCKEY: Canisius lost at Mercyhurst in overtime, 3-2 to fall to 5-7-4 overall and 4-3-2 in Atlantic Hockey play, while the Lakers improved to 8-6-1 and 7-3-0.
The Golden Griffins rallied to tie the game at 2 in the third. After killing three consecutive third-period power plays, Doug Beck scored with 6:32 remaining in regulation. Duncan McKellar sent a shot toward the goal and junior Patrick Sullivan redirected the puck out front to Beck, who whistled in the loose puck to send the game into overtime.
Mercyhurt's Matthew Zay settled matters in overtime with the winning goal, snapping the Griffs' three-game winning streak.
Tony Capobianco stopped 20 shots for Canisius, which out shot the Lakers, 39-23.
Neither Canisius (0-4) or Mercyhurst (0-5) scored on the power play.
Goalie Max Strang recorded 37 saves for the Lakers in the win.

I ordered a Fist #5 pocket holster for my PPS. It isn't here yet, but I really like the design. It has a kydex thumb push so that you can be sure you won't pull the holster out with the gun. Most holsters rely on the holster catching on the pocket some how.
Available in leather or ultra-thin kydex.
March 19, 2009, 08:29 PM
I like the FIST design ... would you be willing to post pictures when it shows up?
I'm curious on the actual pocketability as well, which is why I went IWB to start with.
March 20, 2009, 12:25 AM
I will gladly post a few more pictures when I get mine if you want. I have a few more saved on my computer that someone on waltherforums.com posted. I'll post the rest of those up now, and if there is anything else you would like to see just let me know.
March 22, 2009, 05:11 PM
Thanks for the extra pics - still looking forward on a in-hand and in-pocket report if you are feeling generous after it arrives.
How long is the wait on FIST right now?
The SuperTuck maker claims 2-3 weeks wait time, and the blackhawk generic holster looks cheaper and cheaper every time I see it.
Luckily I won't have a CCW class until late next month, so I should be able to strap on right after getting my card from the county.
March 22, 2009, 05:17 PM
When I ordered they said 6-8 weeks. I'm right at 6 weeks so it should be here pretty soon.
March 27, 2009, 12:14 AM
CrossBreed SuperTuck arrived today (ordered on 15MAR)
The good:
-Fits me comfortably out of the mailer
-Good fit to the gun
-Seems to be well constructed (I'm no expert, this is my first custom holster)
-Retention is good, I put in the PPS, held the holster upside-down, and tried to shake it loose. It came out after about 30 seconds of vigorous agitation
-Draw is good, it takes a positive action to break the PPS free, but it comes out with no trouble after that
The bad:
-PPS rides a bit high, I'll wait and decide if it needs adjustment, the clip attachment to the body of the holster is adjustable
-CCW class isn't for 3 weeks, so I'll be enjoying this holster at home only for a while
I'll post some pictures soon for anyone interested.

Plugged CBH on the "Rate Private and Retail Transactions (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=439381)" board. Adding a few pictures here for anyone interested:
Coins for scale are $1 through $0.01

I got a Blade Tech UCH Holster for my PPS and I love it. It's well made and it's so thin that it adds very little to your waistband size. With a gun that is only 0.9" across the top of the slide, the less the holster adds to your waistband, the more you take advantage of the slimness of the gun.
Here's a link: http://www.blade-tech.com/Blade-Tech-Ultimate-Concealment-Holster-pr-821.html

That pocket holster ever show up?
September 30, 2009, 09:07 PM
Some pictures of the SuperTuck after a few month's carry. It has proven to be durable and comfortable. I set the clips for just a bit of forward cant, and so the Kydex's upper edge would ride just barely below the waistline of most of my pants when strapped in. I've also made a slight adjustment to the retention by warming and depressing the Kydex over the trigger-guard, CrossBreed was kind enough to include basid directions for adjustments in the package.
When ordering MrsBFD a holster for her Springfield XD 9mm subcompact, I tossed in a magazine carrier as well, it did require a minor adjustment to the clip, when my fat rear had everything warped after a day of getting into and out of the car ... but after that tweak it fits even better than it did out of the package. Don't blame the wavy look of the clip on CB, it ended up that way after a few bad tries at heating and adjusting, and I finally got it to fit my two gun-belts just right, so I'm not messing with it any more unless I need to.
MrsBFD wanted a Velcro-backed holster, so we went with the known good company and ordered her an Ohai. I tweaked the retention a bit tighter for her while I was abusing her hairdryer for the other two adjustments as well.
I just realized that some shots of the lack of holster wear on the PPS, and maybe a shot or two of actual concealment may be helpful, I'll try for some more pictures tomorrow, to benefit the few people who use the search feature.
October 3, 2009, 11:19 PM
Two shots of the ST without a covering shirt. It looks like I didn't have the clips seated quite perfectly yet in these. The belt is also from CrossBreed, I'm in "casual day" uniform, cargo pants and a camp shirt with undershirt.
(undershirt is very helpful for IWB carry, and I generally use a black one just in case there is some exposure, like a wind blowing the shirt around, the gun/holster/background are all the same color)
You can see a slight ding in the side of the PPS in these, I have no idea where that came from, but I suspect it is from banging into something while packing, or perhaps a nail-head from the tables at the range.
A shot of the holster IWB without the PPS - re-holstering is easy and I have the holster's clips set to keep the Kydex at the top of the waistline of most of my pants.
The light streak is from the slide lock lever and takedown latch. The only places I have holster wear (so far, at least) are the slide lock lever and the front corners.
Two shots of the concealed rig.
First shot is natural drape of the shirt (A snazzy silk camp shirt in this case). MrsBFD took a bunch of these, at various angles, none showed much of a lump, this one had a hint of a suggestion of a bit of a "something" under the shirt.
Second shot is with shirt pulled tight over holster as I bend forward, a "worst-case" shot. There is something visible under the shirt, but only if you know where to look. This was the most "revealing" shot of four.
Here's a shot of the mag carrier, I had to re-shape the Kydex clip a bit to fit on this belt better. Strangely, it fit on the BeltMan belt great, but not this belt from CB.

What barrel length did you choose ?
No 3.2 ?
Thanks in advance.....
February 16, 2010, 02:21 PM
I just specified the holster for a Walther PPS and no one asked about barrel length. I believe the PPS only comes in one barrel length.
February 17, 2010, 12:49 AM
OK thanks.
You are right, only one length.
I just saw the Barrel Length tab on your link - but now realize it says Revolver Barrel Length.
Any update on how holster is holding up, wearability, etc ?
Thanks a bunch!
February 17, 2010, 10:43 AM
Holster is holding up fine. Very wearable (although it's supposed to be easy on and off without unbuckling your belt, but you still have to loosen your belt). Seems to retain the firearm fine, but I would really love a thumb break for the added retension. All in all a good deal and the best part: it adds very little to your waist so no need for new pants. Enjoy if you get it.
February 17, 2010, 11:21 AM
Oh yeah..... the PPS/CB combo is a match made in heaven. I'm a believer.
January 6, 2011, 09:26 PM
I recent purchased a Walther PPS Concealex Holster for CCW for my PPS-9 and could not be happier with my purchase. I have had fobus paddle holsters and a assortment of some high end holsters that claim to be concealed that work fairly well when standing or walking but are a problem when seated or when being active. The Concealex holds the weapon in place with no change of coming out, even when riding the motorcycle or jogging. This holster is intended to fit between the pants and belt with slots to allow the belt to route through. The belt holds the holster firmly in place and also is positioned in such a way that allows me wear while driving the car with no comfort issues or hinderance with accessing the weapon. A holster that is highly recommended for those with active life styles. This can be purchased through a distributor I purchased it from theyachtcaptain on Ebay. The transaction went smoothly and shipping was quick. Should you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Home Alone..
Suddenly the calm was shattered by the sound of the television in the next room. I went cold! There was no one else at home but me. Who could have turned the TV on? My heart dropped! There's someone inside my house! I thought. How on earth did he get in? Something you need to know about my house - there is no sneaking about here. Only because everything in the house squeaks - the doors, the windows, the floors and heck, even our cat Ginger, who prefers to squeak rather than meow! So this person must have been hiding inside my house all along!
What do I do? Call 911? And say what - "my TV came on?!" Yeah, that sure sounds like an emergency! Wait..how about my knight in shining armor? Yes! Maybe he can help! So I call him (that was N, by the way!). And got his voicemail! Rats! Now what do I do?
I grabbed the heaviest thing I could find - one which I could hold comfortably in one hand, yet be able to cause decent damage to the intruder's skull when I whacked him - a narrow but heavy vase. I wanted the intruder to think me unsuspecting. So I carried on a pseudo-conversation with the dial tone on the phone. Let him think I'm talking to someone and can out him anytime, I thought, walking into the bedroom, phone in one hand and the weapon..er..vase in the other. Heart racing, hands clammy but raised to strike, I walk into the bedroom and.....
there was Ginger sitting on the bed, next to the TV remote control - she had accidentally pressed the 'on' button!

A few cats used to populate our neighbourhood when I was growing up. One of them learnt to work the rubber stopper that prevented the kitchen/other doors from opening wide and would come inside and look for things to eat.

:)) You poor thing! I have had experiences like this... I always worry someone will break in and if I'm alone, and hear a noise, I always am ready to attack the intruder! Awhile ago, I had found a basement window unlocked when I was home alone and I called my roommate at work (she's a cop in training and has a gun), and made her come home and search the house with me to see if someone was hiding inside... That just a big fear of mine. Glad you are ok :)

HeHe! good one. Y'day I saw a lonely pet dog opening the fridge door and destroying all the food in there on TV when owners go out to work! Our AJ rips and topples every garbage bin when we go out and if we forget to throw the garbage out, we are cleaning the coffee granules off of the floor every time we come back!:D

Hi Vani,
I came across your blog and saw that you love to cook and experiment with new recipes. I'm not sure if you've tried it, but Stonyfield Farm makes Oikos Organic Greek yogurt which can be used in a variety of ways while cooking – in baking, as a substitute for sour cream and mayonnaise, in dips and sauces and to create tasty low-fat dishes. Greek yogurt is strained, making it thicker and more versatile in recipes than regular yogurt. Oikos is organic, which means it's made without artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners, and it's made from organic milk produced without the use of toxic persistent pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, or artificial growth hormones (rBST). We feel that organic is not only better for you, but better for the planet as well.
I'd love to send you some free coupons so that you can try cooking with Oikos. If you're interested, just shoot me an email at email@example.com and let me know where to send them.
Take care,

The driver of a motorcycle that collided with a vehicle on Maple Road in Amherst was in critical condition Sunday in Erie County Medical Center.
Ryan J. Hudson, 25, of Amherst was traveling east on Maple shortly after 4 p.m. Saturday when his motorcycle collided with a vehicle traveling west and turning left into the Boulevard Mall.
Amherst police, who suspect speed may have been a factor in the accident, said Hudson's motorcycle was cut in half with one half of it propelled into the air.
The accident, which is still under investigation, resulted in Maple Road being closed to traffic for several hours Saturday.
The driver of the other vehicle, Linda Marie Johnson, 48, of Lockport, was treated at ECMC and later discharged.

Apple request to halt U.S. sales of Samsung Galaxy products denied
0. phoneArena 03 Dec 2011, 04:05 posted on
A judge denied Apple's request to halt U.S. sales of Samsung Galaxy devices in the States, making sure that the outcome would not be similar to rulings in Australia and in Germany that banned the sale of the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 tablet...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
maybe the judge didnt get the memo on apple's "approved" competitior designs? How dare she not allow apple to ban anyone that uses a square, bezel, or a white or a dark color!
17. bsilva1182 (Posts: 5; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
last time i checked the droid charge looks nothing like that stupid piece of crap iphone, its not even rectangular
20. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
yes, but apple said that they shouldnt have the screen centered in the front bezel either, because only apple should do that.. lol ridiculous company.
2. HTCiscool (Posts: 449; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)
All this really is getting ridiculous, I mean there is a limit to how far Apple can b**ch about Samsung's products being successful.
Granted, it wasn't exactly the smartest thing for Sammy to do, with the menu button placed squarely in the center, but this is completely insane.
23. robinrisk (unregistered)
Samsung had that center button in phones before the original iPhone.
It was on an ugly ass phone, i´ll give you that, but the center button was not invented nor is property of apple.

fanboys forget that phones existed before apple.

This is funny as hell. So I have to ask: is Apple in the right anymore now that their requests are being denied?
I think I already know what answers I'm going to get, and from who.
Good work, Samsung.
21. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Really? So you rather them copy Apple instead of be innovative?
22. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
I would rather they be innovative. However, I would rather see them evolve their products to be less like Apple's without being banned for vague resemblances. They didn't copy Apple enough to deserve to be kicked out of the market.
24. geedup (banned) (Posts: 74; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Ok but can you be even handed and be upset with Samsung for copying. Anyone that has two eyes and an open mind can see Samsung is copying Apple.
31. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
I was annoyed with them copying the elements from Apple that they did, because I sincerely think that Samsung can do better (after all, this IS the company that came out with the Alias and Alias 2, both awesome phones). However, I don't think they blatantly copied Apple to the degree that anyone need be angry with them. Hell, even their commercials now aim to differentiate their products from the iPhone.

Apple Board: We must think of a ridiculous idea to bash every Android/WP7/Symbian/Bada/Blackberry device from around the world so we can have all the money and fame for ourselfs!
Judge: Apple you went too far GTFO!
Samsung Board: Nuff Said
People: Apple is getting ridiculous!
iPeople: You normal people are far from our supirior Apple products!When will you learn that what Apple does its best for everyone!
Me: Cut the f**king crap nothing should be banned if people in the region want it more that the stupid iApple s**ts.
Apple: Look we made a new revolutionary product! Its called the iDoor!It opens and closes!

cApple is a new word for crazy Apple inc. tried to banned the sale of Samsung Galaxy line in the World because of similar looked and feel of cApple products. How about cApple used and paid cheap for Samsung components for 4 years and sold high made billions dollars in profit, cApple should said Thank you to Samsung instead of filed Laws suits for similar looked.
Any companies that supplied and assembled for cApple will be suing by cApple in the future.

These kind of battle will not bring any good benifits for customers. But if you closely compare products from various manufacturers with Apple product then you can see that Samsung product are little closer to Apple product than other manufacturers. But making product almost similar to other manufacturers product is not illegal.

Apple only cares about no one but Apple, banningSamsung wont only hurt consumers bu Samsung employees and their family member and the economy. I guess Apple is full if iDiots not intelligent ppl anymore. This is now getting stupid if u ask me, #HidingMyiPhone

I wouldn't say I wish they were gone... the flame wars are amusing and their competitiveness helps drive innovation; it's just that the innovation takes place in other companies. ;-)
12. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I predicted about a month (maybe longer?) ago that Apple was not going to win all of their patent infringement lawsuits. That is starting to happen. In about 24 months, the litigation burden combined with a mixed record in the courts will produce increasing pressure to settle the patent fight and move on to doing business. Even Apple is going to want to move on. Steve was the primary driving force behind Apple's litigiousness, and he is not around to keep the pressure up.

finally a judge that actually has sense...now the fanboys are going to cry this isn't final ruling which is true but that didn't stop you going on about apple getting injunctions in Australia when it wasn't the final ruling...didn't know I could hate a company so much lol.

I dont see the fuzz about the Galaxy Tab is not even selling as expected.... so is ok to let Samsung sell the overrated Galaxy Tab.

You're wrong it has 4% of the market. With Apple only having 65% Samsung is a huge threat.

dude, seriously.. lol
29. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Hmmm, i have an idea for a new game on the market - the main character is a zombie CEO named STEEVIE JOVS (have to avoid the use of the real name, lest I be sued).
You control the zombie CEO and your JOB is recover all items that are rectangular in size. Along the way you collect money from these items, and use that money to give to mysterious beings in black robes.
The game has eight levels that take the player all around the world:
Western U.S.
...and so on.
Basically, each level starts you out with a collection goal to achieve. Now, if you fail to collect enough rectangles, then you will not have enough money for those mysterious beings in black robes, and you will lose the game.
Also, you could die from being hit by the GREEN ROBOT POSSE, who stand in your way from collecting these rectangular items.

I have yet to see a single phone from Samsung or any other Android device vendor that bears even a slight resemblance to any iOS series device in look or feel beyond the negligible and inevitable resemblance they all share due to their being the same kind of product.
The same goes for tablets.
This is like a TV manufacturer suing another TV manufacturer because a new line of TV's the latter is releasing is rectangular.
33. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Maybe it is the Euro/Asia versions - my captivate looks nothing like an iphone 3 or 4 series. Actually, Samsung did a nice job with the build on that phone - it is still used today - by the kids.
38. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Where did the droid charge come from? It doesn't even look ANYTHING like an iProduct, not even rectangular. Stupid apple.
42. Johnny_Mnemonic (Posts: 240; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
@ geek. I think I know where iphone got its design , from sponge Bob square pants
40. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
Bummer. It's obvious that all android OEM's do is copy the iphone and the ipad. It's not like there's any game changing device that android has released before the iphone and the ipad, lol. Apple always releases something big first, and then android OEM's follow.
By the way, the key word I used is "GAME CHANGING" devices. I don't want to see the same old "the lg prada came out first" excuse. The LG prada did not impact anything :)
41. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Again, stop being ignorant - I own two android phones that have a better design, and different, than any iPhone - CAPTIVATE and DROID RAZR.

49. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
FACT IS FACT the lg prada did come out first so the iphone was not THE FIRST touchscreen device or innovative...ipad the tech is the same as a iphone/ipod touch but bigger FACT and not innovative...lol just cause something is popular does not mean its better or innovative or game changing....the FACT is touch screen phones and tablets have existed way BEFORE apple the only credit apple deserves to get is that they made touch screen phones and tablets POPULAR and thats it.
50. SlimSoulja86 (Posts: 660; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
tru dat taz89, I think everyone should stop arguing with iFans, they'll never change, "If it looks the same, how will people know I've upgraded?", if they defend Apple even when they know they are wrong, then there is nothing y'all can do, if they keep buying the same phone for more with stupid new features [ i have iPhone 4, there is no way in hell, i'm gonn upgrade to have a voice do things for me, and for me as an individual, 8MP will make no difference, my iPhone is taking pretty good pics for me, so upgrading to 4S it's not just stupidity but waste of money. Like I said, just my opinion]. "the best iPhone ever" doesnt that ring a bell, that even Apple know it is not the best phone in the world?
52. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
sure it did. without the LG prada around, where would apple have stolen its device design from?
Yea, game changing.. releasing the same phone over n over again. that game changing 3.5 inch screen is a real selling point these days isnt it.

Apple can't patent the placement of a button on the phone. They're gonna have a tough time proving that patent necessary.

Game 2 and Summer
Originally posted on LaxSpot on 06/03/2008
Its been a couple weeks since my last post, so I am going to blast you with this one since it may be a while until I can post again. I want to start by congratulating Cuse on winning the championship and Mike Levielle winning the Tewarton.
The Dragons faced off with the LA Riptide on Saturday in our home opener at San Jose State Universtiy and unfortunately lost. It was a hard fought game on both sides but we came up a little short. I did not play because I am nursing a bruised quad that happened in the fourth quarter of the Chicago game two weeks ago, but I should be out there this week when we face off against Chicago again, this time at home.
My summer starts on Friday, and I cant wait. The weather has been getting hotter and it has been feeling more and more like summer everyday. On Friday, I start my 16 day lacrosse tour, by heading to San Fran to play Chicago on Sunday. After Sunday, I will be in Austin, TX for our Trilogy Camp until Friday when I fly to Denver to play the Outlaws on Saturday. Sunday, it is back to Texas, only this time to Houston for another Trilogy Camp until Friday when I fly back to Baltimore and drive rite to New Jersey to play the Pride on Saturday.
Seems like a lot doesnt it? Believe it or not, that is only the beginning. I will try to check in and let everyone know how the travel is going. Wish the Dragons luck, we need to get off this two game losing streak.

quote: The last phones that HTC released with Windows Phone are over a year old, and only 2 models.
quote: Hell can you blame them? After being the only third party OEM to even bother making a Windows Phone, Microsoft then sues and trolls the hell out of them.
quote: Now they're running adds bashing Google Chromebooks, that their own hardware partners are making! lol, it's amazing.Between their blatant disrespect of their own hardware OEM's, and their disregard for their own customers, no wonder Microsoft's public image is in the toilet.
quote: HTC, Samsung, Huawei, LG, Dell, Alcatel, as well as Nokia have all released Windows Phones. How are HTC the only 3rd party OEM to make a Windows Phone?
quote: Windows Phone is not succeeding, MicroSoft does not have to be a 'butthurt sore loser' to realize it needs to change its mobile business model.
quote: Microsoft has dominated the desktop OS for decades now. And they have often used their market position in...questionable ways.Do we really want to see that all over again on smartphones and tablets? Does Microsoft need TWO near monopolies? I don't see any possible future where that results in a better experience for the end user.

i would have to say GAARA is my favorite charecter he is tough and strong! ~_~ ^_^
he is the strongest ninja in naruto
I'll take your life.
is the best
Itachi was the second strongest ninja before the serise began and now he is the strongest ninja, because the fouth Hokaga is dead. Itachi is my second favorite character, but Hinata is by far my favorite character from naruto.
yea dood i think itachi is the best too.
>_< Think >_<I LIKE HINATA MUCH BETTER BUT I ALSO LIKE LADY TSUADE
They are really strong,but also itachi
pretty awesome ...and really is because they are brothers
i like all of thembut i choosesasukeitachikakashihakuand sai
garra is my favorite but i also like neji and naruto x]
yesterdays memories are gone with the wind
i just started actually liking the show so so far it is sakura and ino.
definitely sage Naruto is my fav
Naruto all the way people he rocksespecially with the nine tailed fox in him
elfen lied rules but naruto is anime and i watched it so neji
Im right 85% who cares about the other 25
My favorite villain is Zabuza (I liked how he still fought even with his arms broken, and he still managed to kill everyone) and I also like Sakura and Hinata. I like Hinata's fighting style and how she is bashful around Naruto and Sakura is pretty strong both emotionally and physically. They're really well developed characters.
I hope she ends up with Shikamaru.
My favorite is Garra of the sand.He is B-A because he had awesome sand styles. People may say he is only good because of his sand. NO because he has to no how to control the sand to be good with it... I also like sasori because his puppet skill are beast. He also invented the puppet master style.
Itachi Uchiha. Kisame Hoshigaki. Deidara. Sasori. Pain. Madara Uchiha
hes kool plus he can do wood style jutsus
life is rough.so dont take it lightly.

i love their loveteam so much my heart keeps on beating so fast becoz of them and i admit im adicted in manga characters they are my first love!!!!!!!!!!!!!
