[QUOTE=model3sw;139843684]Shockey is legendary as is Clark. Here in Florida, there was a native Floridian WWII Veteran from Odessa, Florida, named John Giles. Being "HE" was here, and " I " (plus all the guys in the FOPA were using Giles bulleye guns) was here ... I ended up with a few of each type of Giles customs.
Start with a 1948 Colt Super .38 converted to .38 Wadcutter, 2 Colt 1911 custom KIT-built Giles .45ACPs, a Model 70, 45ACP and a Colt 1911 custom KIT-built in .38 Mid-Range (not a .38 Super conversion but an actual Colt Kit in .38 Mid Range), then throw in a few High Standard .22 Military Giles, for good measure.
The oldest and the most "well used" Giles, including the 1948 Super converted to .38 Mid-Range, still puts holes in the paper exactly where you point it.
I love to see 50 yard groups from hand guns, thanks for sharing!
Many of us carry little groups like that in our billfolds, I am one. Too bad they don't last forever!
