Tim Bacus Custom Caspian
From 1911_purview Caspian in .45 ACP by professional shooter and gunsmith Tim Bacus. One thing that I have come to know is that when professional shooters morph into gunsmiths (Dettlehauser, Salyer, Eddie Garcia) they purpose-build guns into exacting instruments–not bespoke Colt treasures.

When I began my Army career in 1988, I was a traditional weekend soldier in the National Guard. The hot topic at the time was DSCA…Defense Support to Civilian Authorities.
