Gentlemen, I appreciate fine craftsmenship in handguns. It is therefore my pleasure to read the comments and view the photos presented in this web site.

I have long admired the work of many of those who contribute to LOUDERTHANWORDS. Their gifted artistry along with that of my friend Ed Cameron has educated me to what handgun quality really is.

This week Ed finished and delivered to me a stunning Colt Officer's ACP .45 caliber pistol. I want to share with you my exhilaration and pleasure in it.

Glad you found us. Ed does great work. I got to meet him earlier this year and he is great guy. Enjoy the site.

That is quite the muzzle treatment on that commander. Looks like a coke can is going to come flying out of there.

Questions have been raised regarding the crown of my Officer’s pistol. It is simply a cosmetic attribute and does not affect the operation or accuracy of the pistol.

Another question asked was about the pistol’s recoil. Even though it is a small size .45 caliber pistol, its recoil is quite light and easy to handle. I try not to fire more then 50 rounds during a drill because of arthritic hands. Nevertheless, shooting 300 to 400 rounds in a complete daily session is no more abusive then any of my Commander of Government 1911’s.

You might be interested in seeing two targets. Both are posted at my site:

The first target was used for my initial magazine. The target was placed ten yards from my firing position. I shoot at this distance with a new gun in order to get accustomed with it.

The second target was used at the end of the day’s session when I had become accustomed to the personality of the pistol. I expended quite a few eight-round magazines at the target placed at fifteen yards from my firing position.

Next time out, I will shoot targets up to twenty-five yards and also practice point shooting.

Ed Cameron has crafted an exceptionally fine Officer’s ACP handgun. Because of my pleasure in shooting it, I will carry it during nighttime hours when I am attired in more dressy clothing than jeans.

Merry Christmas to all.
