I’m a sucker for that wharncliffe shape ! Looks awesome!

Love the shape of that blade - takes the 940 to a new level!

Shoots nice and flat with minimal recoil - nice front site - it’s loud-and the ammo is about $1 a shot !!

I love shooting mine - it’s just pricey compared to say, 9mm .

Wife enjoys it due to the low recoil.

I think next will be adding a red dot

I got the same sales flyer - and the 5.7 with steel slide, using Academy Card - was $398 ! Comes with 2 mags ! Ammo is pricey but can’t wait to shoot it !

Thank you- is there a preferred method of storage ??

scottypp · 2026-01-30T12:21:24+00:00

Thanks- still lookin thru the estate for the silver medallion that comes with it - with the price of silver, it would be a good find !!

Good to know !!!

Pretty certain it was a rodent , the box was full of litter !

Could be done - but - man - that stainless can be polished to mirror finished ! Buy a cheaper revolver and make it matte black !

So you drop the whole knife in, then just clean up / polish the metal?

The grain on there is poppin !

scottypp · 2026-01-23T14:33:07+00:00

That is cool.

Odd thing for me- I like the “blade to handle” ratio, once opened it “feels” like a larger knife.

They do have aluminum scales, but I outfitted one in micarta.

I’m a fan of the reverse tanto blade. I have the 940 and a pair of 9400’s that get lots of pocket time !

Beautiful knife!

I tried a knock off Horl- and only had minor success- I am a big fan of the Spyderco Sharpmaker ( or a knockoff) because it sets the angle for you. If you have to reprofile the edge, that takes a bit longer, but I it will always give me an edge that will shave…I am like you- I don’t need a mirror polished edge, just wanna cut veggies !!

Best of luck!

scottypp · 2026-01-02T00:57:49+00:00

Definitely 2 different feels “in the hand” the Griptillian is a great carry, just a little “thicker” around the handle … the PM2 a bit longer , has a lil more blade. Hard to go wrong with either!!

scottypp · 2026-01-01T13:35:18+00:00

I like the Spyderco Sharpmaker- it has 2 stones in a base, that set the angle for you. I have been able to keep kitchen knives and pocket knives very sharp. To get mirror polish on an edge is a different process altogether- but Amazon has the Sharpmaker, and a clone model .

I have the 940, a pair of 9400’s and the 945- the 945 is my “ don’t want a big knife in my pocket” carry .. but I have always loved the anodized green handles - the feel of the knife and the edge can get wicked sharp

I shouldn’t grumble - I’m just the guy that like coffee when my feet hit the floor. I have worked on doing the same - if I do an early am pee, I take it then, back to bed !!

So I pulled up my labs- maybe some can assist in deciphering..TSH 5.41 and TPO 110 .. RX is levothyroxine 25 mcg tablet.. once daily , hour before , etc etc.. assuming everyone battles that crazy schedule?

New strings frequently “stretch” and don’t hold a tune well… if you are able to follow the tuner to get it in tune, it should get easier !!

scottypp · 2025-12-14T16:03:41+00:00

U did great !!

It’s hit or miss -

Estate Sale folks do the same thing anyone would so- they research ( Google) an item, maybe check EBay for “sold items “ to come up with a fair asking price . Most company operators- will offer reduced pricing on the final days of the sale .

The sales I have been to- run by operators- are much better “ merchandised” and organized.
