The plan was for me to run the site for a time and take over printing the books much later. Mrs. Camp has asked me to step up and do the printing much sooner than we expected. When you click the Products button it will send you to my Square page where you can buy…
I decided to answer the question of how much the extended tang means for performance shooting, first. I settled on 1 shot from the holster for 10 reps with each, Girsan and the Mk. II Browning. I worked the drill from 10 yards on an 8″ steel plate. I started with the Girsan with no…
First, Steve would have thought this thing to be ugly! He likely would have phrased it in these pages as something along the line of how he preferred the classic lines of the Hi Power. If I had presented it to him, he would likely have added some adjectives to how ugly it was, knowing…
