Another great SHOT Show! The LTW booth was abuzz with high energy and busy as ever. So busy that getting pictures of the whole gang at once was pretty impossible! Here are a few that I managed to capture. Thanks to all who attended and stopped by!


The reason for LTW's existance:






5 Shot Gunleather - A portion of the extraordinary work of John Ralston:




A vintage Lightweight Commander flawlessly attended to by Steve Bailey;




Some artwork by Jason Burton:




An exquisite piece from the shop of CT (Tim) Brian:




Outstanding craftsmanship from Don Williams:




What was left of the Tox, by Ned Christiansen...




Some of the cast and crew - John Ralston, Jason Burton, Ned Christiansen, Tim Brian and Don Williams:




One of our welcome ( and special) guests, Mr. Virgil Tripp as he examines a CT Brian custom. Note the high magnification optivisor - when Virgil 'examines', he truly EXAMINES!

Vry nice shots & thank you for sharing. Wish I was there all last week myself

Thanks for posting these Susan! How come I had to put up with your husband and didn't get to see you?

Now that's funny .....only audio would make it better.

Thanks for the pics Susan

It was great to meet Virgil after years of dealing with him-- his magazines are my preferred brand.

And we were honored to be visited by a great many servicemen. Some of these guys have a lot of deployments under their belts. Rare was the moment when there was not a SEAL around! And plenty of SF guys too-- a little of everything, really, and we are always honored to have them seek us out.

Are Ned and Tim cousins? Could be one of the those separated at birth kinda photos. Neds TOX gun was awesome, he even let me touch it, with gloves on though. Just kidding.

Tim and I were indeed separated at birth-- by half a country and after all he must be, what, 20, 25 years older than me..?

Man I remember the very first LTW booth a while back and howdy you fellas have raised the bar notches above, congrats to all.

Tim and Ned, cousins? Maybe a couple times removed....maybe...:0

Thanks for the pics Susan, keep them coming!

Ned, last year I gave a young man who was in the booth with The VZ guys some advice as he was contemplating going Group. Did he ever go ahead and get into SFAS? Some good looking guns there. Wish I could have made it out there this year.

'Branch, not sure, I'll pass the question on to John at VZ.

You were conspicuous by your absence this year!

Going to SHOT and being at SHOT is not cheap. Setting up, tearing down, repacking all the stuff you brought for the display.... not easy. Just being in Las Vegas costs you hundreds a day sometimes.

Getting back home can be dicey if there's no money left at the end of the week. Extraordinary measures are often taken, seldom revealed.

Here, Stan Chen resorts to getting back home by stowing away on his own shipment of Asym Ammo display items, assisted by the ever-helpful John VanZyck of VZ Grips. Stan, I cannot but tip my hat to your resourcefulness......

Ned ya got worried since I am headed to StLouis with the Chenster for the NRA show, andall he said was,"dude... don't worry about the travel I'll get it taken care of!" Now I am offically worried!
