New Year Carry: A Remington Rand 1911 With a Bawidamann Tommy Spike
I was gifted a Fairbairn Sykes inspired Bawidamann Tommy Spike for Christmas, so I started thinking about what the perfect carry pairing for it would be. The Bawidamann Doughboy DB-2 knucks was a no brainer, as was my sap that I picked up off of one of the guys in the Blackjack and Sap group I'm in. (Isn't everyone in one of those groups?)

One that I’ve found that has worked well for me has been the ASP Raven, and I use that one a lot.
