    A fencer will have BICEPS, they seem to be intended for people with very skinny arms unless they have changed the style since I ordered mine a few years ago.

    Nooooooooooooo it isn't.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Can't recommend these guys enough. Retailer is in Aus but the beacons can be registered here. The seller is really helpful and has very good customer service.
    Thank you for the comment... Peter (Cooeebay) www.skippersmate.co.nz

    My KTI, with its zip-up clamshell protector, fits snug into one of the Osprey's AP Grenade pouches.

    Neither. Got mine from my brother in law who retired from the UK army.

    Try evilbay.

    Elio's Gunshop in Dunedin had one hanging at back of the shop a fortnight ago, if that is of use to you.

    I'm a skinny fencer (slim if you're being nice) but even slim can fool people sometimes (like the 19 year old who tried me on with a crush handshake the other day - turned the tables on him and later saw him nursing it haha)

    The armband just isn't suitable for the work I do. I'll keep thinking.

    Not sure to be honest. I bought the k t I one off skippers mate for 300 bucks. There was a thread on them on here and they seemed to get good reviews.

    It's not the smallest size. There's a smaller one for a bit more. But the main things are the transmission frequency and battery life I think. Mine is good for ten years so only costs 30 a year. Best value for money out there.

    KTI seemed the pick of the bunch when I got mine too. Add to this that my mates all chose the KTI without knowing I had got one or that and without me knowing they were looking....
