    Jim Garthwaite has Passed

    Jim was a Top Tier smith in the 1911/BHP world.
    A gentleman that was always helpful. You will be missed.

    RIP Sir.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    He passed away again? I thought he died in the summer.


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.
