The current (February) issue of Handloader has two stories by Charlie that are worth the cover price all by themselves.

One's on King's custom Colt SAAs and the other is a test of a 1911 "bull" barrel.

There are several other good stories in this issues, too, including one on .45ACP loads. Unlike most issues of Handloader (and most other gun rags, except American Handgunner), this one kept me occupied for several lunch hours at work last week (instead of just one or two). Good work!

I'll hunt for it tomorrow. Really miss Charlie's columns and articles in Guns and American Handgunner.

Thanks guys. FWIW I do the same stuff just on a smaller scale for Handloader and Rifle.

I guess you could say I am somewhat retired. I really don't want the pressure of having to do one or two pieces a week.

Since Wolf lost Ross Seyfried and John Barnsness, I haven't been reading their publications, but that sounds right up my alley; I'll pick it up.

Heck, Charlie could write an article on garage door openers and I'd read it. :thumbsup:

Hell, Charlie, I probably would. And I don't even have a garage. :) :)

I think that just may be the best compliment I've ever received...
