I admit it, I’m an addict. The first step is solving a problem is identifying it. Yea. Need more.

Recently retired and always wanted to be a gunsmith. I’ve been shooting for 50 years and my first gun was a S&W41 at 15. I won’t burden you with non 1911 stories and collections, but I got them.

1911 wise; I have a DAN Wesson point man7 (my first 1911,) a Dan Wesson Bruin (being delivered Thursday,) a 6” 10mm Springfield, a Sig 1911 5”, and 3 really cool Springfield V10s. I am also in the final steps of completing my first 1911 build. It’s a 10mm 5” and shoots really well.



I’ve been following you addicts for a while and decided to say howdy.

Welcome from Northern Indiana, enjoy the conversation.
A warm welcome from beautiful Minnesota—looking forward to seeing the non-1911 collections and stories too.
