Stephen Camp, author of the blog(s) Hi Powers and Handguns passed over the weekend. I have often referred people to his site to review information on both the 1911 and the Hi Power as well as many other firearms.
Stephen was a fantastic writer, very knowledgeable and conducted himself in a manner we should all aspire to emulate.
He will be missed my many and his passing truly saddens me.

"Gunkid" Returns?
For those active of firearms forums, you've probably heard of the infamous GunKid, he resurfaced on a forum all ready as he was recently released from prison.
His current screen name is/was "Buckler" and his IP addresses were:
166.128.11.235
166.128.182.173
166.128.214.131
166.183.112.13
166.183.161.156
32.176.220.218
32.176.7.130
99.73.39.7
The .99 address traces back to OK where "gunkid" resided prior to his incarceration, the other IP addresses were through Cingular/AT&T
Edited to add: In true from, he rejoined after being banned and admitted to being "Gunkid"
User name "pugilist" ip address 166.183.54.80

The HK45 Does It Again...
At the end of the range session of Day 1 of the NRA Basics of Personal Protection Outside of the Home....geez that's a long title...we'll just call it PPOH from here on out. Anyway, at the end of the range session the instructors placed some "reactive" targets on two backers, they were about 2" x 2" squares that combusted when struck. it took a couple of tries but when we were all (class of 10) on our third time up my wife got the first square on her second attempt with the HK45 having never shot it before and I got the other one soon after. We probably would have gotten them sooner but for some reason we were having a disconnect on why we were shooting high, switching to a 6 o'clock hold did the trick and we wiped out the squares.
As for the PPOH course itself, I'll comment on that later, like after I have my credentials in my hand later.

TDI Review....
Is still in the works, off to the NRA Basics of Personal Protection Instructors Course tomorrow and have been trying to study up on that and have been busy doing other things.
I'm slowly but surely getting the background info on TDI and the instructors and will hopefully have some time on Sunday to get this all put together.
