The "Grease gun" - a retrospective...

The "Grease gun" - a retrospective...

Always enjoy your posts, TexasStar.

I can't speak to Brian Pearce. I absolutely devoured the gun mags in my youth. Until about 1993, when I got my issue of American Handgunner in the mail.

On the inside cover was a full page ad for Les Baer, proclaiming something to the effect of "Best Damn 1911 in the world!" in huge type.

Inside was an article by one f their editors. The title had been lifted verbatim from the Baer ad!

Nothing against Baer. But I've purchased maybe 3 gun mags since. All "Handloader"

Looking back, I gleaned the most useful information from Ross Seyfried, Jeff Cooper, John Wooters, and Bob Brister.

I was quickly put off Keith's propensity for claiming credit for anything and everything.

A source inside the business who had been charged with editing some of his pieces once commented that the originals looked like a chicken had walked across an ink pad and danced all over the paper.
