Would you carry a Glock ET17169  on a ground team or in your vehicle?

Major Lord
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

I see what you did there...

We have something like that in our squadron van, so I guess the answer is yes.

Before this gets crazy, the Glock Major Lord speaks of is just a shovel (entrenching tool)


And yes I do cary a camp shovel,

useful for anytime nature calls in the woods, or killing a snake, but that's another story.

No. I prefer one with a cross handle on the end.

Maybe, but a Smith & Wesson Bullseye might be more useful.

I have one of these tools.  The little saw stored in the handle is kind of handy for cutting small branches (think "expedient antennas").  I haven't dug a foxhole for a LONG time, but it did come in handy on a few occasions when porta-potties were just a distant dream.   ;)

I didn't think they even made those anymore. Quick check on their website indicates "yes", they still do.

Do you have the "full auto" conversion on your S&W Bullseye?

Not that I would admit in a public forum!   ;D

So, S&W Bullseye is a whole product line. Which item are we talking about here?

I'd go with the CH-629 in your main, with the CH-200 as your drop, though the FRK looks like it would make a great off-duty carry.

Is that the "Times Up" "Diiiing" Or the "you are absolutely right" "Diiing"?
