2025 CPK get together

I've never applied any CLP or any other oil to my 3V. I just rinse it, dry it off and put it back in the sheath. I have a BFK strapped to my waterfowl hunting pack and it's seen it's share of salt water. Not a speck of rust.

Should I just clean it off with isopropyl and let it dry then? Also would that affect anything on the acid wash of the UF1?

Which ones?

Mack's ultra soft foam ear plugs, extreme noise blocker.

Roll them up real good like normal, put them in as far as you can and let them expand for a minute and then jam them in the rest of the way with your fingertip.

Assuming you got everything in square and sealed up properly, it's the best noise reduction I've ever used, they're comfortable, and they actually work pretty well if you need to take them out and then put them back in again.

Thank you!

That was one of the things that caught my attention, too. The episode of Mythbusters where they tested revolvers to see how much potential damage the side blast from the barrel-cylinder gap could cause, was eye opening.

Friend amputated the tip of his left thumb trying to help a fellow hunter get a 460 S&W regulated. While he was in Zimbabwe hunting cape buffalo. Kinda far from anything that looked like modern medicine. The barrel-cylinder gap on that thing is not a good thing to put near skin.

300 grain handloads in the 25 ounce 329PD are more than enough for me. I guess we could do the math on recoil.

ETA; OK, I 'did' the math (thanks JBM). Recoil on my 200 grain 357 mountain lion biking loads in the 13 ounce j-frame is about 42 ft lbs. Those are unpleasant. 44 mag 300 grain loads in the 329 are about 60 ft lbs. I can shoot about a cylinder full of those and not have to work on getting rid of the flinch for more than a week or so. 440 grain 500 out of a 4" at 1600 fps is going to be over 70 ft lbs. If y'all were shooting John Ross 700+ grain loads I... am just beyond not interested. Y'know all those little carpal bones in the wrist? I like having exactly the right number of them, and all of them with the right shape to interface well with their neighbors.

Yeah, no thanks. When I carry a magnum, it's one that has proper weight/mass behind it. Those Scandium frame models are terrible.

Of course, when you get up to mega-magnums like .500 S&W, all bets are off.

Those are really super fantastic. They make the knife very lively. I have not made too many of those at all. Maybe 4 or less.
