Reeder Custom Guns - almost 15 years ago we developed our

Lawman Classic for the cowboy shooters. It had a special gripframe that we designed to be sort of a baby Bisley gripframe. It had the straight drop of the Bisley but was smaller for the small hands of a lady or small statured man. [image] [image]

I got a press release that Magnum Research now has a new series out with a "newly designed" gripframe. And it is sort of amazing that it is identical to our Lawman gripframe of 15 years ago. I hope I at least get a Christmas card from them for designing their new gripframe.

Here is their new gripframe..

series names or designs were used by other companies, I sorta looked at it as a compliment. It's best to not sweat the small stuff.

I saw that kind of thing happen with stuff my Dad designed.

of Freedom Arms called to ask if I would be pissed if he used our Gunfighter Grip on some of Freedom Arm's heavy recoiling guns. I told Bob that I considered that a compliment and absolutely use it all you want. The folks at Ruger were also good folks. They asked me if I let them have a couple of our Tombstone Classics so they could check out the birdshead gripframe. They saw them at Winter Range in Phoenix where they and I had booths showing our new guns for the cowboy shooters. At the end of the show I gave them the guns and about a month later they sent them back and thanked me and said they would be using our gripframe as a template for their own Vaquero with the birdshead gripframe. So some folks are decent folks and do things the right way. Some others don't, but it isn't enough to get all hot and bothered over.

I know Bob Baker and he's a good guy. Good to hear about Ruger also. Yes. There are thoughtful folks out there.

I would think that as a gunmaker, and with Baker and Ruger using your design that you must feel pretty darn good....
