A new entry to my "Recent Projects"
page: S&W Model 66

I've updated the
"Recent
Projects"
page with an unusual item: a S&W Model 66.
Not that unusual, you say? What if I told you it was one of the rare 3" models? Would that pique your interest? I thought so - because it sure excited me when the owner asked me to work on it!
Check it out!

You're gonna love the new Revolver
Liberation Alliance t-shirt!
Monday, November 20, 2006 Filed in: Permalink
There's a new t-shirt for you, and
this may be my favorite so far!
Since the original Revolver Liberation Alliance t-shirt took a pot shot at the venerable 1911, I thought it only fair that the Glock (and its polymer progeny) come in for some well-deserved ridicule. After much consideration, I decided that a play on the famous line from the movie "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" was in order:
Available in both short and long sleeve versions, and - for the first time - both white and ash grey! See and order the new shirt here!

You asked for it - more t-shirt
options!

Several people sent me emails
about the Original Revolver Liberation Alliance
t-shirt.
Everyone loves them, but many expressed desire for a long-sleeve
version. At the same time, I got some emails about the new
"The earth isn't flat..." shirt, and those folks wanted a
short-sleeve version!
Well, all of your wishes have been granted! I now have both shirts in short and long sleeve versions! Go to the store and check them out!

A new website feature: "Recent
Projects"
Wednesday, October 11, 2006
Filed in: Permalink
I've put a new page up on the
site! Called "Recent Projects", it is just what the name
implies: a place for me to share some information about recent
revolvers that I've built.
This page is intended to be a bit different than most other such pages on your average gunsmith's site. You may have noticed that I like to give my clients and potential clients as much information as possible, and this page continues that tradition. I've browsed around a lot of custom handgun sites, and frequently all I see are a few (usually bad) pictures of a gun - and nothing more. I always want to know more about the gun: what kind of work was done, what kind of unusual features were added, the gunsmith's intent and philosophy, and perhaps a bit about how the gun performs. In other words, I want to know if that would be a gun I'd like to have for myself!
On my Recent Projects page, you'll see the gun, learn about how it was built (and why it was built that way), and much more. The first entry is already up: a nice Ruger GP-100 that I recently finished for a client. I started with a gun that was slightly "ratty", and...well, take a look and see how it came out!

Another Revolver Liberation Alliance
t-shirt is available!
Monday, October 09, 2006 Filed in: Permalink
When I reissued
the famous Revolver Liberation Alliance
t-shirt recently, I
was forced to search through my old computer archives to find the
graphics. Along the way I ran across a number of other designs that
I'd done, but which hadn't seen the light of day. I decided to redo
those graphics to modern formats and resolutions and make them
available.
Today I'm pleased to announce the second exclusive Revolver Liberation Alliance shirt: "The earth isn't flat, your gun shouldn't be either!"
The shirt features the custom graphic and RLA logo on the back (so you can annoy the autoloader people even while you're shooting) and my (small) logo on the front.
Since winter is coming I decided to make this is a long-sleeved shirt; I ordered mine one size larger so that I could layer it over a contrasting turtleneck for a recent rainy-day range appearance.
It's a great shirt - order one today!

The famous Revolver Liberation
Alliance t-shirts are available again!

Imagine my amazement...
A few years back, I made up some t-shirts that had a picture of a 1911 with a stovepipe stoppage, and the legend "The west wasn't won...with a jammed-up gun!" I also invented the fictitious organization "Revolver Liberation Alliance" to take "responsibility" for the shirts. (And you wondered where my blog's name came from!)
I made up a few of them, and sent one to Massad Ayoob, one to Jerry Miculek, kept one for myself, and gave the remaining few to some revolver shooters that braved to shoot in our club matches. They really got the "goat" of the local autoloader owners!
Fast-forward a half-decade or so, and I start getting emails from around the country about those shirts! It took me a while to find out where they heard of the things, and it turns out that someone (*cough*Massad Ayoob*cough*) mentioned his in an article. Apparently he struck a chord with revolver owners, because they started asking me for the shirts!
So, in order to accommodate the requests, I've made them available at my CafePress store. Click here to see and order the shirt.
Buy one for yourself, a spare in case it gets dirty, and then go out and annoy flatgun shooters everywhere!
