In the Kahr product line, it seems like the one missing configuration is a "K9 Covert", i.e. a K9 with the grip (and mag) shortened to MK9 height. Anybody know of a smith who does such work? thanx

So far, the female athletes that have caught my eye are Marion Jones (sprinter) and Tara Cross-Battle (volleyball). None of the current crop of swimmers gets me going, none coming close to Janet Evans in the looks department.

As a tangent on the neato commentary by Skorzeny, Dragontooth et al, I've been pondering the whole chicken-and-egg problem of having weapons decide tactics versus tactics deciding weapons. A current buzzword in the US military is "asymmetrical combat" where a supposedly weaker opponent can have...

Two related questions; 1) Does silver solder, or other low-temp solder, do a good job of sticking to stainless steel? 2) Can aluminum alloy sight bases be soldered onto steel or stainless steel receivers? Seems like that would be a more secure fastening method, compared to base screws that...

While realizing that sidearms are rarely used in normal military combat, it seems to me that we could come up with a better handgun for military use. In this diatribe, I am primarily concerned with use by maneuver units, as opposed to MP, intelligence, security, or spec-ops forces, and I am...

my turn to re-light the fires, I guess. speaking of LAVs, when I look at the LAV-25 and family, it sure looks "tippy" to me. not the sort of thing I'd want to give to a bunch of testosterone-laden 20 year olds in rough terrain. I'm going to guess there is some sort of width constraint that...

this thread is a continuation of a digression from the "Blackhawk Down" threads... a quick note on the ME-262; fantastic aircraft. very maintenance intensive. hard to fly (and by the time it saw service, Germany had 14 year olds with 100 hours flight time soloing in a high-performance het...

hello all, I've been looking for online discussion boards concerning military technology, tactics, history, etc. but have not really found anything interesting. I do read the sci.military.moderated newsgroup, but haven't found much else of interest. any recommended websites?

What with the current hoopla about the .357 Sig, I'm curious about the various handgun cartridges that shoot a 9mm bullet. the obvious two are 9x19 and .357 Sig. I'm vaguely aware of 9x21, 9x23, 9x25, 9mm Largo, and .38 Super. I haven't found any cartridge dimensions on the web for these...

I was laying on the couch, waiting for college football to arrive, and started thinking about my "need" for a long-range rifle. here were my criteria; - very flat trajectory for informal target shooting out to 600 yards - good for mule deer/sheep/caribou at 300+ yd - minimum recoil - must be...

I read of this cartridge in Ken Waters' book "Pet Loads", and it sounds like a good idea. a combination of buffalo-level power with a flatter trajectory than .458WM, in a long-action length. but I've never heard or read of it other than in Waters' book. are folks unaware of it, or has it been...
