A bit over a year ago Paco sent an old wreck of a Smith & Wesson .45 to Gary Reeder to see if he could bring it back to life. It was missing most of the internal parts ... someone had chrome plated it and built it up so thick that you could not rotate the cylinder properly .. buffed all the markings off the gun .. etc. etc.

This week Gary sent it back to Paco ...

To say Paco was excited to see it would be putting it mildly! It took more than a year and a lot of work but the old gun is back, marked properly and in good working order.

Paco told me that if he could get to Texas he would love to shoot a hog with it! For a guy in his mid-80's he is still ready to go hunting!

Wonderful!

Awesome! Glad to see it!

I hope it brings Paco much joy.

I hope it gives him at least as much enjoyment as his work and his writing has given me, and others as well.

It will pass inspection INCOMING
