Mitchell WerBell

He is also the designer of the modern silencer with an early company called Sionics. Mitchell WerBell was a “wheeler dealer” according to some government documents.

Benchmark Precision Custom Colt
From pistol_purview This Colt, built by Rob D’Andrea (Benchmark Precision) is an exciting 1911 for me to add to my safe. Collecting 1911s is like chess. Bishop takes pawn and Colt always replaces Springfield. This is a rare rare bird because Rob predominantly builds on Springfields, and never Colts. For years I have asked himContinue reading “Benchmark Precision Custom Colt”
Randall Model 16 – Diver
Not a review, but thought this was worth sharing. My good friend Jason, who owns Vintage gun leather today, recently bought one of the much admired and sought Randall knives. 7″ blade of 1/4″ stainless steel stock. The top of the blade is notched for thumb placement. The top cutting edge is sharpened. Brass singleContinue reading “Randall Model 16 – Diver”

That’s a shame, because lever guns are uniquely American. Lever guns were invented here in the good ol’ U S of A, and never really caught onContinue reading “The Modern Lever Gun”

NRA 2023..
Yes, it is that time of year again. I don’t care about what the useless NRA does or says. We know its a cucked joke. That said, the gun industry introduces a lot of stuff during the meeting. That means press releases. I apologize in advance for the glut of press releases. I will tryContinue reading “NRA 2023..”
Nambu Pistol Series
From the Rock Island Arsenal blog Of all the things you own that were made in Japan, we’re betting a Nambu pistol isn’t one of them. The Nambu pistol series was developed by Lieutenant General Kijiro Nambu in 1092, who claimed the design for Japan, but it looked a lot like the Mauser C96 JapaneseContinue reading “Nambu Pistol Series”
