Columbia Men's Monarch Pass Jacket (Snow Wool Camo, Large)


Ok Wool
I purchased this jacket in size small for my wife. We hunt alot in colder climates here in ND. Its an ok wool, but I do think that there are better out there. Cabelas sells some great stuff and so does King of the Mountain. Its more money, but you get what you pay for....When I ordered this jacket for my wife, I paid $36.85 for the jacket on Amazon, after we got hers, I was going to get one for myself for about $49 in xl snow. However, Amazon had jumped the price to $119. I would probably consider another one for the $50 price range, but not at this price!
Great Jacket, runs large
Fantastic wool product by Columbia with the quality you would expect from them. I got the snow camo version.

I got a 2X and they do run large so you can wear layers underneath.

Hood and cuffs are lined, which I like as wool rubs my skin a little rough otherwise. The rest of the jacket is not lined.

Only minor complaint is I wish their were more pockets other than the lower 2 cargo pockets. I might have my mother-in-lay add an interior chest pocket.
My Husband is Happy Happy Happy :o)
He got his wool jacket yesterday, quite quickly I might add and he is like a kid in a candy store.... He is getting ready to go hunting and his wool clothing will be sure to keep him warm....I was impressed with the way it was put together with good strong stitching. It is a nice product...

Fobus Ankle RU101A RUGER SP101 / LCR RH ANKLE


Ruger SP101 Fobus Ankle Holster
This is my first Fobus product. I Bought this for a Ruger SP101 with 2 1/4 barrel "Snub". The construction is excellent, With the suede lined pad the comfort is also very good even when wearing it all day. Weapon is very secure and the retention can be adjusted with 1 screw.
Directions tell the buyer to wear it for a few hours "without" a weapon holstered for the first break in period. I would use a little Loctite on the adjustment screw once you get the retention where you feel comfortable with the draw of the weapon. This holster is a great value compared to other holsters that are made for the Ruger SP101. Fobus has a new customer.
Holster
I wanted a good concealable ankle holster for my Ruger LCR. I have several Fobus paddle holsters, and I really like them. I figured their ankle holster would be a good choice, however this thing is just too bulky. I tried to wear it under the loosest pair of jeans I own, and it still looked like I was trying to hide a football in my pants leg. The construction of the holster is superb, which is to be expected from any Fobus product. I'm a medium build guy, so maybe this holster would be easier to conceal for bigger fellas. Three stars for a well made product, just too hard to conceal.
Works very well.
I like to ankle carry when in my car. I have only found two ankle holsters I like, the Galco ankle glove, and this Fobus. The holster fit is perfect on the gun, a Ruger 357 magnum LCR. Not too tight, not too loose. Comfortable for all day wear, and no retention strap to get in the way.

First Alert 2118DF 1 Hour Fire Steel Safe with Digital Lock, 1.9 Cubic Foot, Gray


Pleased with my purchase
What impressed me the most about my purchase was the packaging. In so many past experiences with amazon I have had outer boxes literally destroyed by the UPS delivery people. This time a pleasant suprise - the shipment came through by FedEx and was drop-shipped as opposed to having amazon simply put the manufacturer's box into their own. Whoever prepared the safe for shipment should be given an extended coffee break, for the safe came through without harm or injury. The care and attention given to the packing and material used was most evident. Well done!

Now to the item itself: I found the interior shelf to be a rather skimpy and cheap accessory. It could have and should have been made sturdier. The four clips used for it to rest upon fall out easily whenever the shelf is pulled forward - a "natural" procedure when trying to get to the item(s) placed upon it. Not a very well thought out design.

The instructions for setting up the key code are lacking in...
A Few Important Notes
The safe is not able to be bolted to the floor. It must be screwed from the underside, to a table or similar.

You need both a key and the digital security code to open the safe, or the override key.

the inside of the safe is not wide or long enough for a sheet of letter size paper, its about 1/2 inch short.
Safe Arrived Dented
I might be generous by giving this product 3 stars. The safe had two dents (one in the upper corner and one on the upper right side edge of the safe). I did read on the safe that the safe had been drop-tested and fire-tested. The dents were disappointing for a $200+ item, but since the damage didn't appear too severe, I kept the product. The safe was the exact size that I wanted and the instructions were easy and clear how to program the safe, a plus. Unfortunately, only after receiving the safe, did I read the comments of other reviewers of other models of Honeywell safes, most complained of dents or worse damage to their safes.

AR-15 "Kitty Pink" Furniture Kit, TI-7, Fits MIL SPEC Tube Size by Tactical Intent


awesome
fit my wife's Smith & Wesson MP 15-22 like a glove....she was very happy. highly recommended. she was happy, therefore I was happy
Surprisingly good quality!
Ordered the pink 'furniture' kit for my wife's AR-15 build, as the Tapco kit is difficult or impossible to find. Very few other options easily available, and this looked nice in the picture so gave it a try. Happy I did.

The grip is standard style, just pink; I would prefer the Hogue soft rubber model instead. The Hogue free-float fore-end is a decent option as well, but would still need the pink butt stock...

The fore end in this kit is simply a set of rail covers (fairy hard pieces), so a good option if a quad rail is being used, but not usable without. The Hogue has no option for any fore end attachments, so quite different in aim.

The pink of these pieces is quite deep or bright, whereas the Tapco looked rather soft or

Assault Systems Discreet FN Case fits FN P90/PS90


Great bag for optics too.
I've got an EOTech 512 mounted on my PS90, and this bag leaves plenty of space for the sight, alongside a little pocket for extra batteries if they're needed.
Elite Survival Systems Covert Operations Case for FN P90 & PS90 Rifles

PS90 Case
This case holds the PS90 well even with the addition of an aftermarket sight mounted on the flattop of the rifle.

Lee Precision Melter (Grey)


Lee Precision Melter
good item for melting lead for sinkers or bullets.
i recommend it to others it does the job well
i'm pleased with it as opposed to having to fire up a flame
Great product!
This is a great smelting pot, I have cast over 1500 rounds using this pot and I love it. I use a ladle to pour into my cast, I would recommend the larger pot with the pouring spout on the bottom, but this pot is inexpensive and solid for the job if you don't mind manually pouring.
Lee Precision Lead Melter - GOOD
Nice melter, good heat control, good capacity. Very pleased with this product. In use for over year with no problems whatever. Would recommend!

Spyderco Endura 4 Combination Edge Knife, Foliage Green


Great EDC Knife
This is my all-time favorite everyday-carry knife. The pocket clip is well designed, can be moved to either end of either side of the handle or removed all together. The handle has great ergonomics and feels like a natural extension of your hand when used either in a regular or reversed grip. The knife is lightweight enough that you forget that it is in your pocket but not so light that it feels like a toy. The blade steel is an excellent VG-10 that comes with a razor sharp factory edge. I have found this steel to really hold an edge well and is fairly easy to sharpen. The back of the blade features jimping on the back of the "hole" portion where your thumb goes and the back of the handle has jimping in the plastic as well. My knife has the partially serrated edge and I think this is a useful option. The serrations are really handy when the need arises to cut rope, webbing, etc. The Spyderco hole in the blade is my favorite method of one-hand opening. I think this is a...
Exelent knife, very good price!!!!
These is my 3 endura, i have a lot folders, but the endura is the most funtional,is my every day knife!!!
Utility knife with a true purpose
The Spyderco Endura 4 knife with combination edge is a useful design for daily cutting needs, self defense or a utility knife.

From the factory, I found the action a little too tight for my liking so I loosened the blade by using a Torx screwdriver to make it fit my preference.

The knife is light and the design is unobtrusive. It's compact design, ergonomic grip and smooth action make this a good value. The handle is 5" long and the blade is 3.75" long which is legal in many localities (However, check your local laws).

The blade is razor sharp and so are the serrations. There is little to no flex in the handle. The blade locks securely when open. With proper practice this will be an
Easy one handed operation for closing or opening.

Check this knife out. It's excellent.
