That was quite the storm here. Lost power for a couple of days. Lucky it didn’t turn out worse. Anyway I got a Rosecraft knife and I think it’s great. Have a good Tuesday.

Mild, it's not as big of a deal as you would think. The longer barrel makes it more of a push than a kick. The shorter the barrel makes them more "whippy". The .357 mag can also accept .38 special ammo to make it even lighter if you just want to do some soft shooting
I happen to be a .357 fan too. Here's mine, it was done by a gentleman who really knew his way around a Smith. I keep 158 grain flat point hard cast full house loads in it. Regulated to 25 yards. It's been a great choice in a revolver for a long time.Not Zhoovie, but I think they are just about perfect. Fairly stiff for newbies, but most folks can learn to manage them pretty quickly. As an added bonus, .357s can chamber .38 Special loads which are significantly tamer - especially with the additional heft of a pistol built for .357 pressures. Of course, if a person is inclined to roll their own, then they can be loaded quite a bit stiffer or mellower than what you'd find off a store shelf.
I used to "cast" my own bullets out of glue from a hot glue gun squirted into molds, and would load them into cases with no powder - just a primer. that was enough to push them out of the barrel and through about 2 standard layers of corrugated cardboard. Best part was that you could recover the bullets stick them by hand back into some primed cases and you were ready to go again. This is how I was able to have a shooting range in the back room of my house. But, you know, surprisingly, to me, a lot of regular folks kind of frown on shooting in the house so I eventually caved to peer pressure and cut it out.

An R-4 in place of the usual SAK and a Veteran. I am sure I have never carried this combination before but it wont be the last time.

That's some really nice hardware there !!!
Love the Randall FB and the axe.
It appears that your S&W was a 4 inch 686 L frame with square butt, converted to 3"? and round butt ? Just wondering.
It looks nice that way.

That's something special!I'm assuming you purchased all of K'roos' current inventory, so Northwoods was the next best option?

It was a 6" Silhouette model. Still a square butt. The grips have that round butt look though. As an aside, they fit my XXL hands nicely. Thanks for the kind words. I think my traditionalist side might be showing.That's some really nice hardware there !!!

They used good steel in there blades.El Cheapo from 1977 according to the package. Probably more "good enough" than I'd like to admit.

The horn on that Joker sure is beautiful!
Randall and a S&W. Doesn't get much better than that.
