Hunter's Shot Show Reporting!

Hunter is doing a great job keeping us informed! The DAO New Colt Agent was a surprise. The long awaited .40 EMP should satisfy many who have been interested in the larger bore. The Shot Show Photo's Hunter took were crisp and clear. I can see why he one of the editor's of E-zine.

Well, I do not want to diminish the work that Hunter does, but there are other editors too. Rio Vista, Wichaka, Frank, Hawkmoon, Tom (our newest recruit), I do not know what to call these lovely folks who bring you those reviews. Editors, authors, reviewers, you name it, they are all doing a lovely job and I do appreciate all their help.

The E-zine won't exist without their work.

pssst...John... most of the time people like this are called employees

Great info so far... The new NA in DAO certainly is a surprise! I wonder if they've borrowed the LDA trigger.
Looking at the EMP 40, I have to wonder how far we are from firing directly from the magazine.
The SIS? sumbody hadda too mucha ganja, mon'.

I corrected the error in my post so as not to diminish the work of the other fine Editors. And I have a great Idea on what to call them all!


"High Paid"

Hunter took time out to call me this morning......and I do mean this morning, at about 0130 my time.

He said he was soaking his feet, from all the miles he put on them today.

Lucky guy, wish those were my feetputting on all those miles there!

Colt New Agent DAO

This is interesting... New Agent now comes in single action or double action only, sort of like the old Mustang and Pony, with real bullets.
