I was working carpentry for the last 2 months and was just too busy to work on any HandgunJoe stuff, so here is an update on everything I have going on:
1.
The new Web site is up and running obviously. Many thanks to Russ at Spyderbyte Media, He did a phenominal job of designing the theme and layout of the new blog.
2.
I have ALOT of video from the last two months. I attended one of Steve Fishers’ Handgun I defensive firearms classes, the video is almost ready. I participated in two ACTS matches, the June video is already up, and The July Combat Rifle Championship pics and video will be up as soon as I can edit it. I suck at shooting video.
3.
I have snap caps ready for sale. They are much better than anything else on the market right now. I make most of the popular calibers and I can make custom stuff too. I’ve sold them on www.ar15.com, & www.migunowners.org. I will be posting some customer reviews soon. You can check them out on the My Stuff for sale page.

4.
I have been working on an adapter to allow the use of the longer 45acp slides on the model 30 subcompact 45. This project is going well but is not ready yet. I’m having trouble finding a machinist who is in my budget.
5.
I want to engineer and build a carbine that uses Glock magazines. I know that others are working on similar projects but they have missed the most important details that make the thing worthwhile. I have some solid ideas that I will be working up in the near future.
6.
I am now certified by the NRA to instruct Basic Pistol, Personal Protection In The Home, Basic Shotgun, and Basic Rifle classes. I plan to offer small CCW-CPL classes for friends and family members.
Introducing new people to the shooting sports and the importance of self-defense is something we should all be thinking about.
7.
I have a few other ideas I want to pursue, but can’t talk about just yet.
Its all hush-hush you know.

…so the short version is I will be doing my best to get these things going full steam but I can’t promise anything as far as dates go.

Stay tuned…

Larry the gunsmith was there and its a good thing because the bolt was somehow stuck and i could not remove it from the gun!

cnat sell a gun that dont work right? so larry and i looked it over real good and found a burr on the bolt.  after some strategic stoning it worked much better and Doreen boxed it up for me.

i can’t wait to start working with them at the training sessions.

maybe i can talk them into letting me work at the store too?

and yes i know you are reading this Doreen.

there is a new gun shop around the corner from my house. 

its called Detroit Arms LLC and they have an awsome website.

its been there for almost a year and i got a chance to stop in last week.

my normal ffl is out hunting for the next month so they transfered a pistol for me,  and everything went smoothly.

they even gave me a coupon to use at the local range!

Doreen and Jim are the owners and i got to know Doreen a little while she was doing my paperwork.

very nice lady. 

a couple days later when i sold my remington 1100 i needed her help to ship it.

they were very helpful and even supplied the box for me to ship my gun in.

i went back to the shop and jibber jabbered with her and Jim for about an hour and a half,  long enough to get in trouble with my wife for being late to her brother’s house for the evening bonfire party.

it turns out that my wife and Doreen have a mutual friend!

sure is a small world.

i look forward to helping them with their CCW traning classes.

thanks again Doreen and Jim!
