It's a meal, that's for sure!!! I'm 5'10" and 180lbs.. I good looked at our talked to, all the time!
"Where do you put it?" My stomach hurts, just thinking about you eating that!", Etc, etc, etc..

Any who.. The biggest help, holding on to my 26 and 43, was the Hyve mag ext..
I had just had carpool tunnel surgery and the bottom of the grip, landed right on the cut..
With the Hyve, I had zero issue.

The 43 was pretty crappy at first. Wasn't even sure I liked it.
But now.. I Love shooting it! Just ran a couple mags, actually.. lol..

I also took the corner of the mag release off. It created a hotspot, on the tip of my middle finger.



Hey Tim, I like the blade shape on the blue HB!

I got another Honey Badger knife so I can switch out the orange scales I dyed. I also got more scales to play around with. Does anybody know how I could sort of "wash" these handles with some dark blue or black to highlight the molded details like the honey comb texture and Honey Badger logo?



I have you complete instructions on how to "wash" in the other thread. On a separate note, just curious...but, how much did you pay for your 535 Bugout (the real one, not the fake one)?

I’ve washed RC parts with Vallejo before, but looking to get a cleaner finish. And it needs to be tough than water based Vallejo IMO. In which thread did you post instructions?

I paid $127.50 for the Bugout + PA sales tax, but it was free shipping. I love this knife for an EDC. It’s so thin and light.

I couldn't eat that much food at one sitting! LOL

I'll have to take a photo of me holding a G43. You'll see my chick hands.

Thanks. I do like the look of this blade. Not sure if I'll like cutting with it, but it should do fine.

Here's the whole reason for buying this "Wharncleaver" D2 version of the Honey Badger. I put my dyed orange scales on it.




Interestingly enough this one came with a black clip whereas my blue drop point came with a chrome clip.

I believe I put them in the "latest purchase" that. As for the price, I'm not sure you want to know how much lower I could get it for. If you want to know, PM me, as I won't put the price in here.

I split half a case of cheap 10mm with my shooting buddy for running in the new G29, and for the brass.

With the flush mag inserted, it's literally the same grip length as my G43 with the TTI +1 base plate. I've already added the mag base plates to give a full three finger grip on two of the mags, kept one flush fit just in case. I've shot my shooting buddie's G20, so I'm anxious to compare them this weekend. I also have pretty much everything I need to reload 10mm in my basement just waiting to be setup. Just needed the gun to shoot it out of.

Gen 4 Glock G29 in best mm



I also picked up some more Meprolight sights in the orange rear green front combo that I run on my P26, and 120rds of Underwood ammo 180gr Speer Gold Dots trucking along at a very warm 1300fps. Underwood is one of only two or three companies that will load full house 10mm.



My 10mm that hasn’t seent daylight in years. If this impending uncivility continues it may need to get a lubing soon enough.

Ran the G29 today. Much easier to shoot than I would have thought for 10mm in this size package. I freaking love this thing! Ran like a champ as all my Glocks have. Oddly enough, the mags with finger extensions pinch my pinky finger between the gun and mag extension, but the flush mag doesn't bother me at all and I still shoot it very well with it.

Here's some slow-mo footage from earlier today.

I got some Spyders from winnerone. Orange scales from the Cutlery Shoppe exclusive Para 3 and a St. Nick's exclusive red and black Lil' Native.

Nice! Are your hands larger than average?

Average I’d guess. I wear a size large glove if that helps.

I’m guessing that’s part of the issue. My dad has large glove hands whereas I have a small and we run into very different hot spots on guns.

Soo.. this happened a week or so ago..

The M390 isn't easy to find at a decent price. Meaning the scalper's are Ridiculous!!!
So I picked one up at a price I could handle..
Mail time!!


Shepard frag scales and came with a ti deep carry clip.

Plus the OEM parts..
So back to stock it went.



Time for Tim to get a Manix! I got your scales, Tim! Lol..

How in the world did that happen? I saw another broken M390 posted on Facebook recently.

Nice pick up.

Haha! I do love the orange frag scales!

I was using it to make kinlen strips, off a 3" "log".. using another branch to baton the blade down through.
Something I've done many times before and with other Spyderco's..

So not sure if it's the steel or maybe the effort I was using?
Didn't feel different than any other time I have done it.

The scales are pretty sweet!

Can you find a picture of where/how that one broke?

Did you reach out to Spyderco about this? Hopefully they would replace a broken blade!

Sorry, I looked, but can’t find the other one I saw. I believe it was also M390 with a break in the same place.

I didn't reach out to them, yet.. Ex wife is going to print out the warranty form, tomorrow. I'll fill it out and ship it back, this week.(or maybe she will have too) lol..

I'll keep this posted.

I think I'm going to have to try and get one of those! I was looking at a LW Native 5 in Rex-45, but got a Rex-45 Shaman..

The Native 5 G-10 is a Beast and handles anything, in s110v! A LW with the wire clip would be sweet!

I can't believe only 600 of them! (So if you get one, try to get me one!(wife's email?)) Lol..
