I’d like to see a group that gets together and shoots classic DA revolvers and pretends to be McGivern, Jordan, Bryce and Askins.

Wasn't that pretty much what Thell Reed and Ray Chapman were doing with the first California Combat Pistol League shoots, which eventually morped into IPSC around 1976 or so?

I'd add a couple of additional names to that list of the old fellers who were the greats, however. At least five more come to mind....

I know Thell and Ray were shooting at the Leatherslap meets with the late Col. Cooper (from reading, I’m way too young to have been there)

What other pistoleros did I miss? Rex Applegate?

FITZ! I can’t believe I forgot Fitz, especially when I have a signed copy of “Shooting”.

Geez.....
