How does the window punch work on this knife? I take it that since it's spring loaded, it must shoot out. I've looked all over and I can't find a button or a trigger that makes it work.

The spring is released when the black tube at the end of the handle is pushed down completely. It doesn't have to be hit against something. I pushed it against a wood board and the steel tip punched a hole in it. The spring resets immediately after use so don't worry about that.

Hi Gregg, It is spring loaded, but there is no button. It is a one time device. In an emergency if you needed to break the window to get out of your vehicle you would just take the small end and forcefully press and hold it agains the window (preferably a side window which is not laminated) and when the nub on the T3 is compressed it releases the spring and a metal pin strikes and breaks the glass. Hopes that helps.

There is no button to push. grab hold of knife with bottom pusher facing out apply pressure like a center punch until you here click, TRY ON A PIECE OF WOOD FRIST

The mechanism works whenever you push in the window punch. It takes a good amount of force to do so.

It works just like any other knife with the piece of metal in this picture is on inside right side of the v This knife is probably against the law for you to carry if you can't even close it Sorry to be so blunt but it is a spring assisted knife which in most states is illegal to carry unless your a first responder Please be careful it is not a toy

Yes, I can help! Place the punch on a firm surface. Side facing you should be with the gray arrows. Hold down the punch arm and move the gray piece to the left. It will unlock. You must have the arm held down to lock or unlock. I hope this helps, it's an excellent punch. If you have trouble or have any other questions, ask away. Patricia Robinson.

It's activated from the front Sarah, using your middle finger (applying) pressure on the "button" that's built into the grip, & the button is concealed internally. It's a little ironic that your middle finger activates it :-) I love mine it's not in the way nor does it leave an awkward grip of your hand or get in the way at all. Hopefully that helped you out. Cheers

There's a starter button on the right side near the handle. You push that down, hold it and then pull the trigger on the handle. It's a little awkward, so I always had to user two hands to do it. Once you pull the trigger it starts up - so you have to have a good grip so that it doesn't jump forward. I know it sounds a little complicated, but you get the hang of it quickly.

There is a small tab below where the blade ends. You have to press this to the side to allow the blade to close. It is the locking system for the blade and keeps it open. Make sure it is pressed all the way to the left before you push the blade back. If that doesnt work, I am not quite sure what would be weong with it.

What you do with this, is you place the tool over the empty magazine. Then you press the front and it will depress. You then pull down and insert the bullet round. Immediately release the front you depressed and then it will spring up. Depress again and it will force the round you inserted down and enable you to insert another one, until the magazine is full. You gotta play with it a bit to get the "hang" of it. But it works and its fast, easy and great on the fingers and hands!

It does with the blade side. I can't get it to do well with the back side which is what I like to do. I do like the knife though, it feels good and the price is right. But it does not throw a spark as well as some of my old cheap knives do. Hope that helps.

This is my "home training" device. I use it in my Glock 22 and 23. When it "fires" the firing pin strikes the laser switch and sends out a laser pulse. This does three things for me: 1) no dry firing (or related need for maint); 2) lets me know where my shot would have hit; 3) lets me "see" my trigger press (the laser smears if not steady). I went from "middle of the pack" qualifying to being one of the top qualifiers. My first shots are now among my best shots. Plus, time from holster to an accurate shot has reduced very measurably.Don't know about the other stuff, as I use this, almost exclusively in my oversize garage with my Glocks and silhouette targets... nothing else.Hope this helps.

Hi! I finally got the blade off my can opener! There is a little lever that says "blade release" that needed to be pushed down, but, I kept moving the handle either too much or not enough while I pulled on it, but, finally, it popped off. Now if I can only remember how I did it for thenext time!! :) Thank you all.

NONE of these answers help me close this knife. "thing between the knife"? WTH? Why bother to respond. "push away lock" "piece that clicks"?? Worthless guys.

Honestly, I haven't had to defend myself with it, but it feels like you could really mess up an attacker with it. It's really sturdy and with limited practice I'm able to present it quickly. I read a ton of reviews of different knives before purchasing and this one has the best and after buying it, I'll say it does not disappoint. I carry it with me all the time. I can even clip it on to my pajama pants pocket when walking out to get the mail or visit a neighbor across the street (always looking out for random dogs or suspicious pedestrians.) It really is comforting. I highly recommend it as do tons of other people. Go for it man! It's so low-priced too!

I returned that as soon as I tried it because, after the first shot it would not work. The spring would bend and not allow it to cycle. After the first shot, we did take the spring out, straighten it, then shot it again, but the spring bent again causing the safety to not allow it to shot again. I told the seller what was wrong with it and I returned it. If you are having the same problem then I imagine they did not correct the shabby spring with a stronger one.

I bought mine a year or so ago and I swear it shoots better freehand / loose than rigidly benched or with a death grip. Try a looser hold.?. I shot a 1" group just sitting down without a bench or rest at 30 yards yesterday. And for more info than you'd wanted, lol... I'd considered buying a pcp (and may still for curiosity's sake) but I kinda dig having to work to be a better shot, than just buying a gun that shoots better... If that makes sense. This gun (at least mine is... You might've gotten a lemon) is accurate enough to be fun to shoot, but finicky enough to be challenging.

I recommend do not buy this model. CM has discontinues this version. A new Trigger will be released shortly...that's what they've told me. My Storm Trigger failed within a few months of purchase. Sent it to CM. They stated that I would get a new Trigger as soon as it is released.

This reloader works by locking on-to the mag-release catch on the side of the magazine...if your pistol magazines don't have the same type of catch, you would probably just have to hold it on tight with your hand, and the more full the mag becomes it would gradually get harder to hold because of the mag spring putting pressure on the rounds, i use 40 round magazines for my MP5 and it stays locked on well despite the spring tension near the end of being fully loaded...otherwise...the mechanism for loading the magazine should work pretty well for just about any 9mm and maybe even .40 cal., but don't quote me on that.
