Klunker Guns kay, it had to happen. SIG SAUER recently announced they will pay you $200 for your “klunker” handgun if you send your old “klunker” pistol or revolver, with a copy of the form 4473 and proof of purchase of a new SIG P220, P226, P229, 1911, SIG556 pistol or SIG556 rifle from dealer inventory from Sept. 7th through November 30th 2009. Get your klunker to SIG no later than December 4th, 2009. O I know this is a late notice for you in our pages (thanks to production timing) but you still have time! To qualify as a klunker your handgun can be from any manufacturer but has to be operational and free from cracks in the frame or other key components. It must also be a semiauto, 9mm or larger, or a revolver of .38 caliber or larger. All transactions are subject to federal, state and local firearms regulations. www.sigsauer.com ith a lot of research, a positive result of the “Cash for Clunkers” W program has been found. Although it cost the US taxpayer (that would be us, don’t forget) $3 Billion, and netted about $320,000 Speaking of clunkers Blade-Tech Modular hunTing VesT-Pack rust world-wide hunter Tim Wegner, founder of Blade-Tech (the Kydex holster company) to come up with a practical idea for the field. This vest/pack/hydration/ gun-toting system is versatile and functional. Using a classic field “vest” as the harness to hold a back pack, the Vest-Pack also offers a hidden hydration bladder pouch. The backpack portion is removable and can function on its own. So, you can have a field vest, a vest with hydration bladder, all three or just a backpack. When traveling overseas this “all-in-one” system would be invaluable. Why pack three things when you can pack one? When he showed it to me I immediately bought one in Ultra Stalk Cammo. Available in orange or Ultra Stalk Cammo. Tell Tim we sent you.

Most are hosted by egotistical self-proclaimed “experts” and feature a bewildering array of holds, strikes and more you simply can’t retain. Plus, most of the hosts can’t talk their way out of a wet paper bag. Can you say boring? How about embarrassingly boring? Michael Janich is something different. An old friend (and for a good reason — he’s the real thing, and a genuine gentleman), I’ve always respected him because his methods are simple, make perfect sense in the actual, real world we all live in, and are easy to understand and learn. If you met this softspoken man you’d never think he is the deadly weapon he actually is. Like most people who are the real thing, he’s understated, quiet and on the humble side. But I promise you, don’t do anything stupid — because he’ll win. And so will you if you check out his two-video set called Practical Unarmed Combatives. We all can’t carry a gun all the time, and if you’re surprised at your car door, at work, or filling your gas tank, Michael’s methods will more than likely allow you to stop the threat and make a timely escape or retreat. I don’t recommend this sort of thing lightly, but it’s easy with Michael. No egos here, just solid info, delivered quietly, seriously and understandably. Stay Safe Media, www.staysafemedia.com, (866) 937-2339 ’ve got a bit of a thing for tomahawks and admit it shamelessly. Not long ago, Suzi and I were at a local gunshow here in Joplin and I started to see people carrying serious-looking hawks they had bought. I finally stopped one and asked where they got their hawk, finding out it was a table with a “kid” behind it. I bee-lined over and found young Devin Price standing quietly behind a table full of very serious-looking hawks, knives and other designs. Check out the picture and you’ll see I bought two. From about $100 to $200 or more for custom models, this is an amazing value for a hand-forged, hand-made tool. The quality is simply o Practical self defense Hawkish I Kid marvelous and the attention to useability is obvious. The handles are all polished to remove any hint of splinters or slivers and shaped “just so” to fit the hand. The heads are blued, and Suzi’s has an elegantly inlaid brass heart — a little something to glint in your eye just before you feel the edge? Devin is a hard-working young man who has started a real business delivering quality, service and tremendous value. If you don’t support him you’re crazy, since we need to motivate any young person who has the guts to get out there and try. Our hawks are part of our daily tool kit here on our land, and they’ll be the same for you. Tell him Handgunner sent you. Devin Price, www.2hawks.net, (417) 840-1413 * 113 WWW.AMERICANHANDGUNNER.COM insider in fuel savings (do the math there, ladies and gentlemen), it really did have a positive result — it removed thousands of “Obama For President” bumper-stickers from US Highways.
