Deep down in the inner most part of man where life begins, in his marrow, his DNA is imprinted with a wild heart. The heart of a woodsman, the heart of a mid-evil warrior and the heart of a primitive hunter are yearning within man to get out into the wild. To be one with nature, to be the victor, to be the hunter and to prove he is not the prey, the victim or the defeated. The Habilis Bush Tool taps into that inner man. When you hold this knife/tool you are what you were created to be.
Habilis, of course, is the perfect name for this tool and frankly for all the products created and sold by Habilis Bush Tools. The word habilis comes from an association with crude tools. Habilis’s root meaning is skillful, apt, ingenious and skillful human. Basically, habilis means self-reliance. Self-reliance is the goal of every woodsman, survivalist and bush crafter practicing his or her art.
My Bush Tool came with the JRE leather sheath which we will discuss in more detail later, as I want to give you my initial thoughts on this tool. When I unsnapped the safety strap and pulled the tool from its perfectly fitted sheath, I was amazed how well it fit in my hand. It was like the Bush Tool was molded to personal specs, fitting like a glove in my hand it was like it became an extension of my hand. My mind was immediately bombarded with, it’s a knife, no it’s a spear, no it’s an axe and I now see why they call it a tool. The uses of such a tool are only limited by your mind and skill set. I can’t even begin to imagine the experiences, time and effort that went into creating this product.
The Bush Tool Specs as listed on their Habilibushtools are:
1095 High Carbon Steel
Rockwell 57
G-10 Handle
10 1/4″ Overall Length
5 1/4″ Blade Length
3/16″ Thick Blade
Pseudo-Scandi Grind with a secondary bevel
Gun Blued Finish
Choice of Custom JRE Industries Leather Sheath or Custom Kydex
The Bush Tool Features:
Anvil
Ferro Notch
Fire Bearing
Extended Pommel
Continuous Curved Blade
Integrated Guard
Multi-Position Handle
Handle has two-lanyard style sleeved holes in the scales and a third hole at the pommel
Spine is sharp and at a 90 degree
There is no doubt that this is an excellent tool to add to your kit, no matter if you are in the wilderness for business or for pleasure. Taking down small trees, processing firewood, creating a shelter or fine carving a spoon are all no problem with the Bush Tool. Any bush crafting tasks you may need to accomplish are made easier by having the Habilis Bush Tool. Another feature so simple but unique, is the additional hole in the handle not seen in other survival knives. This makes the knife easy to be tied securely with para-cord or other cordage to a shaft to make a deadly spear. The thickness of this blade enables you to use it as a prying tool without the worries of breaking. The Habilis Bush Tool would have been an asset to me during my years in fire service, as it would have made a great personal hand tool to be used as an escape or rescue tool. During testing I also found that the anvil gave me a natural handhold for using this as a drawknife during certain woodworking tasks. Again, I could go on and on about the possibilities this tool has to offer in the field.
The JRE sheath is created by JRE Industries. It in itself is a work of art. Open carrying of a large fixed blade knife has always been difficult for me because of society’s influence on what is acceptable as an EDC (every day carry). The days of the western frontier carrying a Bowie knife strapped to your leg with its personalized fancy leather sheathes are gone. To open carry more than a large folder in America creates so much attention. If we could only return to the days of a knife and pistol strapped to our side with a rifle slung over our shoulder. I think people would respect each other more if everyone were to carry weapons. My passion for having the tool I need on me at all times remains, in spite of what society dictates. Saying all that to say the Habilis Bush Tool is the perfect size and weight, but the combination with the JRE sheath limited my carry to the field or the bush only. I found myself not wearing this tool when I went out to eat with my wife just due to the size. I know I probably don’t need the Bush Tool when I am eating out but have you ever tried to use the knives they give you in a restaurant? The Bush Tool slices through meat like hot butter and I love the reaction I get when I pull it out to cut my steak while everyone else struggles cutting their meat. I think for me I will purchase a kydex sheath also for my Bush Tool to give me an alternate way of carrying when I am not in the woods. This would allow me to EDC this tool much easier depending on my attire. The JRE sheath is adaptable in many ways with a little ingenuity. This sheath is a handsome high quality leather dangler. I found that the dangler belt loop attached right at the balance point of the knife. This caused the handle to fall over thus it was always hanging out banging into everything. The JRE sheath has a lanyard hole at the bottom and top of the knife sheath. Once I tied a piece of Para-cord around my leg the JRE sheath put the Bush Tool right where I needed it to be. I am not one to add numerous accessories to my knife sheath. If you like adding survival, fire, fish or tool accessories to your sheath the JRE is perfect for those options. I will use this sheath with the knife when I am camping, hiking or bush crafting and add a kydex sheath to my kit to EDC the Habilis Bush Tool.
I want to end this review on the Bush Tool, not the JRE sheath, because this is truly an ingenious design on the Habilis Bush Tool. Finding the right combination of knife and sheath for my activity will probably make the Bush Tool my EDC for a while. The list price for this primitive but modern tool is $199.00. I think this a fair price when you can own one tool that eliminates purchasing and carrying so many others. One rule in bush crafting is a component of your kit must do at least three functions to be accepted to the kit. The Bush Tool surpasses that by a long shot. For those in the tactical and combat arenas, this is an awesome weapon. It may not be the lightest for knife fighting, but the weight for real men is good, adding a little more power to your strikes for deeper penetration and destruction. The handle and pommel are perfect for an aggressive knife-fighting weapon. Developing the right techniques with this tool could be devastating to your opponent.
For you that are serious about living and surviving in the outdoors, I would advise you to visit the Habilis page to see their line of products. Your life may one day depend on having the right tool. Get your own Habilis Bush Tool. It lives up to its name and you can definitely reach a level of self-reliance with this tool. -RCR

Message | I have been an animal control officer for 15 years. I often see people who’s dogs get attacked by loose dogs while they walk them lawfully down the street. It often results in injuries to the dogs, bites to those attempting to break it up, and in our town, the attacks resulted in 2 dogs who were attacked, dying at the scene.
I live in another jurisdiction and I have my own dogs, and a CCW. My dogs are of the “Carpet Shark” variety. Chihuahuas I have rescued. Two I bottle fed and hand raised, the smallest just 3lbs. All the while I was calm. I didn’t do anything that would escalate the Rottweiler into a problem. I also told my Wife, that is when things could have gotten tricky, as I am sure those men, even in the wrong, would react to me shooting their dog. The legalese at the bottom makes me pause a bit. Do you know of anyone who has used them? |
Do you have a situation where you almost needed SCD?
Everything you do is to protect yourself and your family. Whether it’s house insurance, car insurance or carrying a firearm. After a house fire, you’ll rebuild. After a car accident, you’ll get a new car. After a self defense incident make sure you are there to help them pick up the pieces and not rotting in a jail cell. It’s not always as simple as it would seem. Why risk it?

I found WLS while listening to archives of the PRP and they had Lil on the show and she mentioned WLS and I had to get more of one of the worlds sexiest voices. I’ve listened to most of the archives now. Jeremy, Lil and Shawn know what they’re talking about when it comes to guns, the other three, especially Aaron are pretty much just there for comedy and politics. The way they all give Aaron crap is hilarious (after about his 5th interruption I want to give him a mushroom stamp). Overall show is awesome, Jeremy needs to swear more and needs his own section titled “Vote from the rooftops!”. Bring back the drinking game. All the hater reviews saying the show needs to clean up can shove it, it’s good the way it is. If you want a serious straight gun talk show this isn’t for you. If you want a good laugh, to catch up on politics and some firearms knowledge this is it. PS Lil’s 4 months absence was BS, I almost dropped you a star because of it.

Subject | What made me sign up for Second Call Defense |
Message | Dear We Like Shooting,
First off I just want to say thank you for the awesome show that you provide each and every week. It is top notch and I look forward to every show every week and possibly getting the chance to meet you all in person. Keep up the good work. I had a revelation the other night that kept me up in bed following an incident that occurred on November 4, 2015 that finally made me realize that having self defense insurance may not be a bad idea. Now I usually work at night between the hours of 11 pm and 6 am as a cable contractor splicing fiber optic cable for some big companies. Technically speaking we are not allowed to carry our firearms at work but seeing how we have to work alone at night in some bad parts of cleveland, my foreman and I will usually carry because our lives are worth more than our job. On November 4, 2015 we started work a little early just to try and get a few more jobs done. We will usually stop at the local store to pick up some food and a couple drinks to get us thru the night ( non alcoholic of course.) But when we came out we noticed that a local police officer had pulled up behind a car that was parked in a handicap spot. A white guy was driving and a black man was in the passenger seat. The passenger got out of the car to see what was going on. The officer told the black male to get back in the car. They exchanged a few words which I didn’t hear. Then the black male of about 6’6″ about 350 lbs took of running and the officer pursued after him. At this point my foreman and I walked over to see what was going on. The officer told the man to get on the ground. Long story short the man wouldn’t comply and the officer shot him with the taser. My foreman and I were watching the officer scream at the man to get on his stomach. We asked the officer if he needed some help. Of course he said no at this point. Not even 30 seconds later the man ran out of his shoes and pants to get the barbs from the taser out of him. The officer chased after and got a hold of his shirt and the black male had stripped it off l, and in the process try to physically assault the officer. At this point me and my foreman took action to try and take this big guy down. We ended up both tackling him to the ground and taking control of him so the officer could place the handcuffs on. Meanwhile the whole time the white driver was still sitting in the car watching what was going on. As the black man was being put in the back of the cruiser 3 more units pulled up to arrest the driver and search the car. They ended up finding a crack pipe and quite a few bags of crack on the ground where the black man’s clothes were. The thing that made me sign up for SCD was the fact that the black man appeared to be a crack dealer and the situation could have turned bad really fast. If I would have had to pull my firearm to assist a police officer how much legal trouble would I have gotten into? Chances are I would not have had to go to criminal court for assisting an officer, but the civil case that could have been brought against me would have killed all my income. Now I am signed up for SCD knowing that they have my back if anything like this should happen again and I have to use force. Thanks again to everyone there at the We Like Shooting show. Rock on Sincerely Matt L |

Unique USB Recharging, IR Remote Control Activation, Sleep Mode & Memory Chip are just three of the many game-changing features built in the MH1 reflex sight.
Tullytown, Pa. (November 2015) – Hartman Ltd., a new innovative optics company, is proud to announce the ultimate red dot reflex sight: the MH1. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of worldwide armed forces, law enforcement and sportsman alike, the MH1 Reflex Sight is unlike any red dot reflex sight ever created. The MH1 breaks new ground in field of view, reticle design, quick reaction, user interface and battery efficiency.
The patent pending advanced red dot sight offers the largest field of view through the sight, instantly improving target acquisition and situational awareness in day and night scenarios. The MH1 produces a near “0” parallax increasing accuracy. The unique reticle helps keep the firearm on a vertical plane using balancing lines at 3 and 9 o’clock with a centered red dot. The reticle also always stays on target independently of the operator’s eye location in the MH1 window.
The MH1’s innovative design allows operators to attach additional magnifiers or night vision devices behind the sight. Once attached, the operator will not have any difficulty accessing the controls of the MH1 for both left and right-hand shooters.
For operators in the field, battery use and preservation is critical to mission success. The MH1 offers a different approach to battery consumption from other reflex sights. The sight charges via a USB rechargeable battery plugged into any wall socket, computer or lighter. A single backup CR123 battery installed provides extended battery life. Additionally, the MH1’s sleep mode and dual 30 degree motion sensors only activate the sight when a shooting movement occurs, greatly enhancing battery life.
The MH1 red dot reflex sight is built to MIL-STD-810F and designed to perform in the most challenging environments. A composite reinforced polymer housing protects the interior technologies and a forged aviation grade aluminum QD mount and base keep the MH1 operating under the most extreme conditions. The sight is pressure filled with nitrogen gas and fully sealed to prevent fogging or dust from entering the sight. The outer surfaces of the window have been specially coated to produce high clarity with no mirror like reflection from the objective side of the sight that would give away the user’s position, an extremely valuable benefit for law enforcement and military personnel.
Options for the MH1 include a custom user interface that allows the user to reprogram some of the MH1’s features and customize the sight for various sleep mode activation time and reticle brightness levels, motion sensors and more. Another option is the ambidextrous infrared push-to-transmit (PTT) strap, making the MH1 the only remote-controlled reflex sight. The PTT activates the sight and controls reticle brightness levels (10 levels – 5 for day and 5 for night). It allows the user to control the sight without disengaging the supporting hand from the weapon, thus always remaining ready and reducing critical reaction time.
The new Hartman MH1 Reflex Sight is available in black, tan or green with an MSRP of $650.00. The optional remote control strap (PTT) has an MSRP of $49.95.
For more information on Hartman Ltd., or the MH1 Red Dot Reflex sight, visit www.commandarms.com. For consumers interested in purchasing the MH1 Reflex Sight, contact the US importer, Command Arms at customerservice@commandarms.com. See the MH1 in action on YouTube. Join the conversation on Facebook.
About Hartman Ltd.:
Hartman Ltd., a design and manufacturer of innovative optics located in Israel was co-founded by Lt. Col. (Ret.) Mikey Hartman of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). Hartman trained over half a million IDF soldiers in his remarkable 20 year command of the IDF Marksmanship and Sharpshooting School. Hartman Ltd.’s MH1 Reflex sight is the first optic developed solely for serious military, law enforcement and shooting sports enthusiasts. www.hartman-il.com

Perhaps one of the best hidden gems from the 2015 SHOT SHOW was the discovery of the Nanuk series of hard cases for firearms and equipment from its parent company, Plasticase. I had the pleasure of meeting Frank Vitiello, the sales manager for the company. Frank took the time to explain the company’s goals of offering affordable and durable products for all tactical and outdoor needs in the form of professional looking hard cases of all sizes. Immediately, these cases looked very well made and ready for any abuse you could throw at them.
Soon after returning home from the show in Las Vegas I reached out to Plasticase and had a model 995 rifle case sent for review. Offered in three colors, the sample that arrived was a sand colored tan that would blend very well in several different types of environment. Immediately upon its arrival, the case had proved its durability by surviving UPS delivery. The cardboard shipping box was barely held together with packing tape as the seams were ripped and holes torn all across all four sides of the box. Three snips from a pair of scissors freed the box’s contents from the over worked tape. As I inspected the actual hard case once fully removed, I could not find even the first scratch to its surface. With visions of a 200lb gorilla jumping up and down on the shipping box all day in the back of the UPS truck, I start by commending Plasticase’s Nanuk division early on in this review.
Measuring L52.0 x W14.5 “x H6.0″ interior and L55.1″ x W17.3″ x H6.6” exterior, this is NOT a small case. The model 995 case is designed for the fully secure transport and storage of a high end long gun with sensitive optics. In all the harsh conditions I have put my precision rifle through during my tenure as a Law Enforcement sniper unit; I would not have hesitated in packing it in this case. Constructed from impact resistant NK-7 resin like all the cases by Nanuk, the model 995 is water tight offering an IP67 rating due to its rubber inner gasket.
With a weight of 21.6lbs empty, this is not a light weight and frail case by any means. While it is not the heaviest hard case I own in my collection, it does make me grateful of its polyurethane bottom mounted wheels and ergonomic spring-loaded handles when I have to travel any significant distance to load or unload its contents. The optional foam inserts offer very little added weight but are worth the extra money to be able to customize the case’s interior specifically to your needs.
One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to cases is the lid construction. All too many times I have opened the lid too far and popped the lid off its hinges or popped a rivet. The Nanuk 995 offers a positive 110 degree lid stop to prevent any incidental damages caused by drops or over pressure on the hinges. The lid is secured tightly for transport with Plasticase’s patented power claw latching system that locks up tighter than a bank vault. For added security and to meet airline requirements, the cases can be pad locked through four stainless steel supported hasps located around the case. Additional eyelets surround the case as well for any tie down needs you may have.
Listed at $599.99 and realistically retailing between $340 and $399, these cases are not a readily affordable option for every gun in your collection, but it does offer the best piece of mind that a shooter on the go could have, just short of loading up a 1200 lbs. Liberty safe and hauling it with them. As a top choice for law enforcement, military and competition shooters, check out a Nanuk case for yourself at your local dealer or visit them at www.nanuk.com.

I live in Massachusetts, and I own firearms. There, I said it. There are a lot of people outside of MA/New England that think once you head east; firearms are not a normal “thing.” I got into firearms late in life after a buddy took me shooting and I was hooked. Shooting for me is very mental, thinking about my form, the round count, the objective – all of these allow me to think about something that is not work-related.
Something that has come up recently in the news is the American Suppressor Association (ASA) working to have a bill introduced into Congress that would remove suppressors from the NFA (National Firearms Act of 1934). Representative Matt Salmon (AZ) introduced the Hearing Protection Act (HPA) on October 22, 2015. Part of this provision, if passed, would refund the $200.00 tax stamp to applicants that purchased a suppressor after the October 22nd filing date. Filing of this legislation is something, in this writer’s opinion, that is overdue. Unfortunately. Even if this was to pass through Congress and signed into law by the President, which is very unlikely at this time, but you need to start somewhere. The state that I live in, Massachusetts bans the use of suppressors today.
But, in Massachusetts, we have grassroots organizations such as GOAL (Gun Owner’s Action League) who have worked to preserve the 2nd amendment rights and have helped with like-minded legislators to introduce new legislation into the State House. This summer, GOAL worked with Auburn Legislator, Paul Frost to introduce Bill H.1305 (exciting name, right?) to the Joint Committee of the Judiciary to remove suppressors for Section 10A of Chapter 269 of the Massachusetts General Laws. As of this writing, the proposed legislation is still in committee.
If this legislation were to move from committee to a vote, and eventually signed into law. It would allow the residents of Massachusetts to be able to purchase suppressors, like 40 other states in the Union. Massachusetts is most definitely in the minority here. According to the ASA, since 2014, 11 out of those 40 states made suppressors legal to own or to hunt with.
GOAL has a nice feature on their website; you can search using your zip code to find your local legislator(s) and write to them in support of legislation like the one above.
When people hear the words Silencer or Suppressor, most think of a super-secret ninja assassin that shoots bullets in 100% silence. I hate to destroy that Hollywood myth, but that is not the case. According to the statistics posted on the ASA’s website, the use of a suppressor can reduce the decibel level anywhere from 20 to 35 dBs, which is the same amount as wearing inner ear or earmuff style hearing protection. You still hear the shot, but at much more comfortable levels. For newer shooters, the recoil is reduced, which helps when teaching the fundamentals of shooting. If your range is in a residential area, you have reduced noise pollution.
A great analogy that I have heard, is would you drive a car without a muffler? The majority of you would not – that is all a suppressor is, a muffler on the end of your firearm. I would love to see them legalized in Massachusetts, owning one (or more) would help reduce the noise around me at the range, would help me protect my hearing, and increase my enjoyment when shooting.
If you live in MA – I strongly suggest getting involved with GOAL (Gun Owner’s Actin League). They are our advocate group within the state, working to push Pro-2A bills through the state house and protecting the rights we have today.
