I bought a Combat Flathead from Dynamis Alliance a couple of years ago when he had a great sale. Yeah I know, $150 bucks for a screwdriver, I get it. I bust my ass at work and wanted it. I wrapped it with thin para and I use it all the time. I wanted a lighter version and he just so happens to have a trainer. A blunt trainer, but I fixed that. Aluminum, lightweight and $50 I think I paid. Fits perfectly in my wallet/notebook thing. Passes through every checkpoint I have gone through. Nice to have something if I need it.

The SOCP dagger comes fairly dull, for whatever reason. I fixed it. 20° angle and a mirror polish, just because.

Old school Dark Star today.

Adamas, TKell Striker, SOCP, the trusty P320. You can never have too many toys, I mean tools.

Gucci 320 and Emerson today.

Is the Ops Hawk ever coming back? I own the Striker and carry it daily. They nailed the sheath design perfectly.

I found this in the back of my safe. I bought it back in the early 2000's. Unfortunately, I can't find the original nylon velcro sheath it came with. What are these worth these days, realistically? I may carry it if I can find a pocket clip for it.

I picked this up on the real cheap. I have a full-size Adamas and a fixed. The logos aren't exactly right imo. If it's fake it'll be my kids knife or a yard knife.

There might not be a more controversial firearm than the Sig P320. You either love them or hate them. Defend it or mock them. I've watched every single video possible with the ND's. And I have tried to read every article good or bad. I have torn apart every FCU I own and tried to learn as much as possible as to why Sig designed it the way they did. I don't know if the ND's are the mechanism but it's almost impossible to deny it at this point, something is weird.

So, here's my take and my experience.

I decided to build the Harrington Arms Gucci 320 a few years ago. I assembled my build list and got to ordering. I picked up a X Compact from my local dealer and waited parts to arrive. In the meantime, the 320 shitstorm started. I assumed it was stupid cops, women throwing it in their purse, keys getting in the trigger gaurd, etc. Honestly, some of those things probably happened. At this point I knew nothing about the 320 FCU but I know Glocks and Shadow Systems like the back of my hand. I could assemble them blindfolded. They're simple, 34 sturdy parts, proven. Comparing it to the 320 FCU, I was actually kind of pissed. Fragile springs, an overcomplicated FCU and slide components that are laughably small. The thought of this FCU surviving combat overseas, in a dirty environment just isn't possible. Just putting the FCU in the module made me scratch my head. The trigger bar spring almost looks like it could catch on the module while assembling. I did all the tests and checked my build dates for the recalls. All passed and off to the range I went. I built a couple module version, 1 a cerakoted stock frame and the other a Icarus Precision Socom Elite with a Delta Point Pro but eventually a C&H Precision enclosed emitter, TLR-1HL, a Harrington Arms comp and a Agency Arms trigger shoe with the safety dingus. I'm used to Glocks so the trigger felt more comfortable. The gun shot great. Better than great, it felt like a .380. I put damn near 1000 rounds through it.

I did notice something interesting when I ordered holsters that brought me back to the ND conversation. My first holster from Tier 1 was worrying. The trigger coverage was nonexistent and damn near scary. I love Tier 1, I contacted them about it and after some back and forth they sent out a second one that was slightly better. I couldn't use it so I ordered 1 from T Rex that did a better job and it was enough coverage that I was comfortable with. I just picked up another FCU and decided to put together an X Compact with no bells and whistles but with a TLR-7A. That holster looks more like a traditional G19 holster with TLR-7A. It doesn't have the gaps you get with a TLR-1HL or a SureFire X300. The size of the opening has to be massive with the larger light. I had a hard time ordering holsters for this particular gun so maybe these pictures will help others. The blue holster with the metal clips is the T Rex, blue with plastic clips is the Tier 1, both with TLR-1HL. The red holster is the T Rex with the TLR-7A.

Roughly 2 months ago I found this Ultratech in a parking lot in Browns Point, Washington. A suburb of Tacoma. It has 3 Gun Memorial stamped on it. After researching the 3 Gun Memorial Foundation, they help Vets and I would love to get this back to its owner. I contacted the Foundation and they were supposed to put it on their social media, I'm not sure if they did but unfortunately, I haven't found the person. Any help would be great.

I have 15K miles on my 2025 Limited TRD Off Road. Towing, great. Comfort, pretty good. Gas mileage, blows. But for the most part, it has been a good time.
