I'm a retired toolmaker and love to tinker. :

Been shooting since I was 10 yrs old (that's 50 yrs of shooting) - hunted a lot with my Dad, now I'm into pistol competition. Mostly I enjoy customizing my 1911's - currently own a few Para's in .45 - one P-14 race gun, one P-12 (carry), one P-14 limited. I built up a Para frame - Caspian slide into a 9mm race gun

(beautiful and my favorite shooter). My last project was a STI short block I finished in .40, an open gun. First revolver S&W 586 with my trigger job and of coarse my favorite revolver the 608 with my trigger job and moon clips (pics in the gallery). Currently polishing those I want to get hard chromed, and contemplating my next adventure! ;D
