Hard Use Gear

[zero7one]

Hard Use Gear...what does that entail? Not even all MIL-SPEC gear will hold up to the abuse that is given to it. Some after market gear some times holds up better than what is issued to the troops on the ground. What gear do you have that has been abused over and over again and still is there for you the next day to take some more abuse?

For me, one of the pieces of gear that I have that has taken abuse over and over again is my Elzetta Design ZFL-M60 light.

Let us know what gear you have that will stand the test of time. Add some pictures of it in use or being abused if you have them. Post a link to the companies webpage if you can.

The hand looks worse than the light!

I'd like to see some pictures of things like different kinds of scopes, grips, stocks and even entire guns after hard use.

See how different things hold up and how the keep on ticking.

I've had this particular folder for about 13 years. I received it as a gift and have since used it and abused it for all of those years. Great knife. I've gone against the grain and done every thing the mfg said NOT to do. I believe if you know the limits of your preferred tool, you are capable of pushing it to it's limit. These pictures and even the blade in person, do no justice to the hell I've put this thing through. She still shines and will shave the hair off of your arm, with ease.
