to the SCI Handgun Hunt there. He introduced us to all the industry guys there. Peter Pi from Cor-bon, The nice fellow from Magnum Research, Ernie French from TC, Bob Baker from FA, Dick Williams, on and on... Gary said JD might be there but he had gotten a bit of ill health and did not make it any of the times I went. Plus a lot of those folks had their kids with them it was a great time. We got to mess with prototypes and pre-production stuff too.
I always had several of Gary's guns (my personal ones) on display and talked to the guys about them. They thought I worked for Gary! LOL.
To be be truly knowledgeable you need to experience as broad a spectrum as possible. I've tried to as my resources have allowed. I've had all kinds of guns and from many custom shops. Few, very few, custom shops will alloy much input or choices aside from "packages" they have developed. Of all, GNR really allows (tolerates) customer input in spades. It has been one heck of a fun ride and I have met so many good people. My literal life has been greatly enriched and I am so grateful to him. It was admirable for you to be ready to defend GNR on his turf, kudos!
This was an early adventure HHC in TX.
