Blast from the past

    Austin Precision Products, now LaRue Tactical, made 1911 parts back in the 90s. Daniel E Watters says …

    Given some of the features like the EDM wire cut breechface, one suspects that he had been supplying parts for other Texas firms whose initials might include the letters S, T, and I; or C, M, and C. On his industry forum on AR15.com, Mark LaRue has mentioned that he is considering reintroducing the parts.

    This handsome fellow is non-other than Tom Dresner. Dresner is notable for being the founder of HKPro.com. Last year he was promoted to Deputy Chief of the Columbia Police Department.
