But if I can have the guy-thing — only girl-sized — even better. Benchmade has girl-sized their tactical pen and I really like it. It’s a lot like their full-size tactical pen, only smaller. I can stuff into a small purse — or small jeans — or your eye socket. It’s only about 4-1/2" long and uses a Fisher Space Pen refill. I highly recommend these for ladies — guys, are you listening? www.benchmade.com Petite Poker INSIdERRUMINATIONS Continued from page 70 R ith today’s crappy economy many of you are facing budget cuts, hiring freezes and are having to make-do with existing gear — if it’s even provided. You’d like a rail-mounted flashlight for your gun, but you only have a little bit of money to spend, LaserLyte can help, for around $80. Their FlashLyte can be mounted on any firearm with a rail system and the three LED lights put out 25 lumens of light for about 1-1/2 hours.

Blade-Tech’s already addressed this issue for handguns with their Training Barrels — and now they’re using the same technology for rifles. New for the AR-15 and M4 is the Rifle Training Bolt, allowing you to use your real gun for training — safely. They’re super easy to use; simply remove your factory bolt and insert the bright yellow training bolt — even a fresh out of training SWAT guy can do that — hut, hut.

Check out this handsome Al Mar knife, the Eagle Classic, with bone handles on it.
