60 degrees and sun today. Good day to do some food shopping and then hang out on the front porch. WIC's 110 looked so good I decided to take mine today.

Probably a Hattin? Get your name on the list to be notified when they come back.
The 15 is close. Combat System Fighter too. Both still smaller overall compared to the Hattin, but similar in the grip area. |

View Quote Prior Hattin releases were extremely limited exclusive runs. Handfuls released. Those tend to go for more. The most recent Hattin release was the first “production” run. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when Emerson does new runs, but the fact it is still on the website means it is promising there will be another. Join The Emerson FB groups. Most traffic for Emersons probably. |
