Hinderer Flame Hellfire Grind

[Maprik]

This just came in yesterday and it's awesome. All bead blasted Flame with Hellfire grind. Can someone tell me if this a Gen 1 or Gen 2? Anyway, it flips with almost no effort. One of the smoothest flippers I have ever felt and yet the lock-up is ROCK solid - absolutely ZERO bladeplay. Sits next to the Gen 1 in my collection.

beautiful man. Once I found out about the LEO discount, I've been itching to order a Hinderer. Nice catch!

I heard the Gen-1's were the only ones that had a hole in the clip for a hold down when machining them.

Obvious typo from mobile device, but I'll let it be (no going back to edit) since you picked it up and played with it.

There are no Gens with the Flames. They're the precursors to the XM18s.

That's not true James, there were at least 2 Gens of the Flame.

Here's a quote from Rick...
"The Firestorms were linerlocks...actually the first Flames were what is now the Gerber Firestorm...right after I designed the Firestorm Gerber added it to their line and I wanted to change it up for my customs so the Flame grew out of that...there are only a couple original Hinderer Firestorms out there...."
