Well, a happy little trip to the Great Falls gun show. What did the Zero purchase? Glad you asked….

Two dozen red parachute flares at $4@
A half dozen emergency smoke pots at $6@
A gen-u-ine 33-rd 9mm Glock magazine (and a healthy ‘nyah!’ to Dianne Feinstein and Bill Clinton on that one)

Went out and tried the parachute flares….and for $4 you get a hellacious bang, some serious altitude and a nice cheery red glow covering the immediate area. A fun purchase.

  1. Well, I paid a bit more than $30..a Scherer-branf mag. I could have waited a bit but i wanted it *now*. however, I tried it today and it worked quite well and I am pleased with it. If I ever get around to buying a KelTec 9mm carbine it’ll be perfect.

  2. Sweet deal on the pyrotechnics. A friend of mine got me a combo-can (still sealed) of NATO launch flares. 1-, 2-, and 3-ball star clusters in red and green and 3 smoke-trail. Supposedly guaranteed to burn out before hitting the tree line again. Not sure where he got them, but I’ve been looking for an online source to order more. Any ideas?

    Used them for New Years Eve for a couple of years. The rest are in the ruck.
