It was great to be back at NAS Outdoors for their Customer Appreciation Day! The event features contests, door prizes, sales, deals, and a chance to meet industry reps.
Great selection of long-guns
Vortex Optics
SOG edgewear
They also had blades from CRKT and Spyderco, my favourite of which was this Dragonfly with Emerson Wave opener (shown next to my re-release sprint run Ayoob)
Warrior Assault Systems (looks like that universal pistol holster I wanted sold by the time I got there)
I arrived just in time to watch two of the Cornhub draws, one for a shotgun and the other for a Hi-Point 995 PCC
For those of you asking when the Crusader Templar will be available for sale, here is your answer! And there are more on the way (should arrive next week)
I posted a pic of the TROY PAR at TACCOM but not an in-hand one for size comparison so here we go (I really like the feel of it)
Woah HK SL8!
Dirty Harry gun
you’ve gotta ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?”
Or if that is too small, a Desert Eagle
The very innovative Alien
Or if you prefer old school, the Skorpion (I have always loved this one)
Or perhaps a Blunderbuss
A very happy new owner with his June 6th transfer of a Sig P320 finally coming through
Great to see Gilles from Mossberg again…that shockwave feels so great in the hand
Restricted version of M+M Industries M10X with 12” barrel
At this point I was as hungry as a bear
Fortunately NAS catered the event with some great Greek food!
Pretty accurate considering there are normally 55,000 handgun sales in Canada annually vs. 178,000 over the last three months!!!
I have heard about Barefoot Bushcraft but never realized they are right next to NAS! They offer courses/events in bushcraft, archery, and axe throwing.
And now for a wardrobe change in anticipation of the awesome wings at Iggy’s
The wings here are sooooo good! Good level of heat and super crispy
Nice of Dave to join us and bring his Mossberg edition CRKT
Great to hang out with old friends
After dinner I headed over to Chris’s place to see his awesome collection…including Randall Knives
I have met Michael Janich but Chris is sooo lucky to have done one of his MBC seminars…and get a nice Matriarch to boot!
Compared to my Ayoob
And the Yojumbo
Love the old-school Kirby Lambert
Hamilton Ventura you may have seen in Men-in-Black
Thanks again for all the hospitality from NAS, Iggy’s and Chris….i had a fantastic day!
