Few newbie questions . . .

[Santi]

I'm new here. . .
Got my first TWO busse coupla days ago, the near mint Basic 9 and the used Public Defender.


Questions:

How does the penetrator tip works?
This tip also in the Active Duty and Mean Street?
Where should I get the nice kydex sheath for the PD?

Thanks!

For a kydex sheath I would check out Okuden, he makes some great sheaths, I live by him and could let him use my PD to make a sheath from if you wanted.

the basic idea behind a swedge that runs to the tip is to create a better penetrating geometry - a psuedo dagger. with the penetrator tip, it removes the sharp top corners from the tip to allow for a smoother entry of the first couple of millimeters. it doesnt change the pentrating properties as much as a full swedge would, but it maintains all of the strength of the original geometry while helping out penetration a little.

i dont think its present on the active duties, more often than not its used on thicker blades that suffer from poor penetration due to their thickness behind the tip.

You can also check with Dave Brown buybrown he does all kinds of Kydex sheaths and has pattens for most busses
