Lee Precision .45 ACP Carbide 3-Die Set (Silver)

Great value
Lee dies are a great value. They work very well, and are easy to clean. In my opinion, it isn't worth buying the expensive brands of dies, unless you are shooting 1000 yards competitively. For everyday use, they're great. I have several sets, with no complaints from even the oldest sets I have (at least 10 years for my 9mm set...)
Lee Reloading Dies
They work OK but the position rings do not lock. They seem to be made for single time installation as on a turret press so I had to add lock nuts since I use them in a single position press.
Great Set of Dies
Dies arrived in a timely fashion. Liked the casing and everything about them. Good set of dies overall and work well in my Lee press but since these are universal dies i doubt they would have issues in any press.

Allen Company Remington Premier Shooting Vest (Medium/Large)

Great vest.
I had a chance to take this vest hunting last week out here in the so. cal mountain ranges. With all the dry brush I knew the vest was in for a test. Along the hunt I remember a couple times the vest got caught on some old brush and I was sure it had torn. Once we got back to the truck I took the vest off to see the damage and I was suprised it was completly intact, aside from being dirty. Over all this was a great buy. Happy :) Nice big pockets in front, I filled them up just for kicks to see how many shells they can hold and i was able to get 25 shells easily into each pocket. It also has 2 pockets on the inside with zippers to hold items you wouldnt want to use. Also has a small shoulder pad that is removable. I threw this vest in the washer and dryer and it can out brand new again.
Nice trap vest
No complaints about this vest. I would just note the med-large size will fit snug on a XL tee shirt sized frame. I wasn't sure if I wanted the larger size since I didn't want it to drape on me. The smaller size is nice as far as the length and over all fit, just a bit snug when zipped up. If you are a size large or smaller I think the med-large is great if you are size large or just into XL, otherwise, if you plan on zipping up the vest I would go for the larger size. If you don't zip up then you may like the smaller size.

As for pockets, quality and recoil pad, very happy with all of these. Ample pockets, some velcro to keep things in where others are very large. Recoil pad is long and not too stiff. Very happy with this purchase!
Great vest and would purchase again
I've gone to the skeet range with this vest and it easily holds a case of 12 gauge ammunition in a side pocket. I use the other side for the empty shells. A real nice feature of the vest is that it has a recoil pad (for right hand shooters only). I would definitely purchase this vest again.

Bianchi Accumold 7200 Black Nylon Duty Belt (Waist Size Medium 34-40)

Great Product
Bianchi is a great maker of police duty belts.... I would highly recommend this product. Their belts our strong, durable, and most importantly comfortable. Great purchase
Police Academy tough
I bought this belt for Police Academy. It withstood everything the sadistic instructors threw at us. The buckle got pretty scratched up, but it made it through Academy and is still going strong. I couldn't ask for a better product. I loaded mine down with Bianchi Patroltek products and love them too!! If you need a tough belt that's built for WORK, grab this one!
As advertised
This belt is flawless and as advertised. It is durable and functional, easily adjustable to correct size, and perfectly packaged. I have no complaints on this duty belt at all.

Blade Tech Reinforced Looper Series Gun Belt with 1.5-Inch Wide Square Buckle (Black, 36-Inch)

Excellent fit and finish.
Excellent fit and finish. Belt is rigid yet comfortable. Recommend ordering at least one size bigger so that it's easier to thread the holster on.
Great gun belt
Don't scrimp on the belt when you carry a firearm.
I used to tell myself that my Walmart leather belt works fine but I was kidding myself. This belt holds a firearm, iwb or owb, very securely and its much easier to carry in the woods while hunting or in the city in condition red. This one has been great so far and is a great price.
Very good belt
I carry a compact size (3.9 in barrel) with it. This carries much better than my walmart belts. For the price this is an excellent belt. The only reason I can't rate it a 5 star is because some of the black is coming off where the holster clips ride after only a month of carry.

Spyderco Manbug FRN Plain Edge Knife, Black

Just a Little Less "Delicate" Lady Bug
Saul Glesser, the owner/designer at Spyderco, must be a perfectionist, because to me it is a toss-up between the Ladybug (Spyderco Labybug 3 Plain Edge Knife, Foliage Green) and the Manbug. No, neither knife has any obvious gender orientation and one does not look more "manly" or "ladylike" than the other (setting aside handle color, of course). But I guess since Glesser gave his original "key chain knife" a "cutesy-pie" name it gave him an opportunity to riff on that name with the "Manbug." If you think "Manbug" is going to transform the key chain Ladybug into a Ramboesque, but still key chain, knife ... well, you take advertising copy way too seriously.

True, the blade is wider on the Manbug than on the Ladybug, and so is the handle, but the only important issue is whether the Spydie hole is sufficiently large enough to open the blade one-handed. Yes, it is; but it's also large enough on the current...
A nice small knife.
I really wanted to like this knife more than I do and perhaps I would had I not purchased a Ladybug 3 FRN H1 Hawkbill for my wife at the same time. First, the pros: The knife is small and discreet while still maintaining a decent blade length, it is sharp (as are all Spyderco knives) and it comes in a standard color, unlike the Ladybug mentioned above. Now the cons: The Manbug simply does not perform as well as the Ladybug for many of the cutting tasks knives this small are used for. This is almost certainly due to the blade geometry and the standard uses for a sub-2" blade. Ultimately, unless you are using the knife for food prep or something requiring a plain edge, the hawkbill provides a better cutting surface for zipping through boxes, cables, rope, fabric and seat belts (ok, I have not had the opportunity to try it on seat belts).

Nonetheless, the knife is sharp, well-built and useful for any small task where a plan edge, standard geometry blade is useful; so,...
Fantastic EDC
This has been my new favorite EDC ever since I got it. It's large enough to perform most tasks with ease and small enough to keep on a key ring or front pocket.

Mojo Outdoors Baby Mojo Hen

Effective... but
I know the large version works so I am convinced that the smaller, lighter version will be equally effective - and easier to transport. I happened to have an extra remote control so I was curious if it would fit into the smaller version. It did but just barely. In the small version there is barely enough room to slide in the remote receiver with the velcro affixed to it. The remote is handy to have. The wing motion is most effective in low light. My hunting buddy is convinced that in bright sunshine the motion spooks the ducks. Be aware that the wings on the small Mojo are a sort of honey combed plastic rather than the aluminum wings on the full size version. Remains to be seen how sturdy they are but on plus side they may float unlike the big Mojo wings which will sink like a rock. Definitely should find a spare wing nut for the wings in case you drop and lose that in the dark. And definitely don't drop the Mojo in the water - can attest that these things are not waterproof - however...
Pretty disappointed
This is not my first mojo. I have an older one that has held up well. I used this mojo once and the switch circuit quit. I just hardwired it to the battery clips. The post that the newer ones come on is weak, thinner and short. Pushing it into a sandy bottom using the provided 'step' it collapsed on itself and the 'spring' detent between sections just popped off.
In my old one the post is a circular dowel like tip that sticks into the belly of the mojo and it can rotate with the wind. The newer powered mojo comes with a prefixed square mount on the belly of the duck that has to insert into the square of the post. And for $9 you can buy an adapter that lets your mojo swing with the wind. For $1.50 I used a couple PVC pieces and made my own sway with wind adapter. If the movement didnt work so well on the birds I would return it. They definitely cheapened down the product while increasing the price.
Plastic brittle and breaks in cold weather
I was excited to get this thing in the water, but before I had, one of its feet snapped off. To make things worse, I was cradling it in my arm as I was picking up my other deeks and the other foot snapped off! Bottom line: the plastic used on the feet is brittle in cold weather (I was hunting in 25 degrees). Why in the world could they not have used a more rubbery plastic on the feet that didn't break off? BECAUSE then they couldn't sell you replacement feet! Cool product potential, but for the price I think they need to improve the quality a lot.

NcStar 4X32 Rubber Compact with Red Laser/Blue Illuminated/P4 Sniper/Green Lens/Quick Release (SRTP432G)

WOW! Crisp, well made and LOVE IT
I was skeptical about buying an NCSTAR for my AR. I didn't have the big bucks to buy an EOTECH or other high end scope, so I took a chance. I can't say for long term reliability but out of the box this thing was almost DEAD on. Took it to the range yesterday and did 3 shots at 50 yards. Took a look and I was 1 inch low and 1 inch left. 1 adjustment later and I was putting bullets inside of bullet holes (with a bench rest) LOVE THIS SCOPE. I was ready to try this and return it if I didn't think it was worth the money, but after 400 rounds yesterday on my AR, it held true all day long. It is a great scope. I will say I was looking at several scopes before buying this and ALL of them I was looking at were 3-9, but somehow I ended up with this, being only a 4x. I would love this scope even more if it was a 3-9, and I'm sure if I look they might make one like this in a 3-9 but honestly, you really don't need it for shooting 50-200 yards. I do like the built in laser, although not...
Nice quality scope half the price all the quality!
Easy to sight in, and my rifle was 4.5 inches bore to scope center! Awesome fit and finish.Laser is not super powerful but for close quarters in low light plenty good.
Dave
Very nice scope for the money.
This scope works as advertised.Zeroed it in with only a few shots. The scope works great, and is a great price compared to some of the other high end scopes.
