He was a well-known 1911 gunsmith around these parts and good guy. He wrote several books on the 1911 and was a retired USAF gunsmith.

Hi, I'm Ken's son. He wanted to write a 2nd edition of Hallock's .45, the printer wouldn't accept a type written manuscript and he did like using computers. We looked at scanning an old book so he could reprint them, but the scanned art-work would be unacceptable, so that never happened.

After he passed away, we happened onto all of the original artwork. Now a reprint seems feasible.

I am wondering if there is still enough interest in this book to justify the work?

I have a paperback of his book somewhere. I'd be interested.

May your dad RIP. You have my condolences.

Rest easy! Sorry for your loss Dan, I encourage your efforts to print a new book. I'd buy one.

My condolences for your loss. Minds like his are irreplaceable. I’d certainly buy a new printing.

Sad news. RIP, good sir.

 

[Raylan Givens]

I'll buy the book. Send me a link when it's printed.

So sorry for your loss Dan, may he Rest In Peace

Dan, I would certainly be interested in your late fathers book. Treasure his memory.

Around 1996 I had Gold Cup that wouldn’t run. Ken invited me to his home, did some work to the pistol in his garage, and after that it ran fine. He didn’t charge me, either. Super nice guy.

 

[WhoIsJohnGalt?]

What an interesting life your father led @danH - my condolences and may your father Rest In Peace. I hope you will indeed pursue the new book!

I knew your Dad for many years. He was a good man. I'd always stop and visit with him when he was at the big gun show in Tulsa.

I'm very sorry to learn of your loss. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Ken was Mr. 1911, and we are all diminished by his passing.

By all means, please print his book. In the circle of 1911 aficionados that I run in, it would be extremely well received. Put me down for two copies.

Warmest regards,

Jim Hill
