American Handgunner Jul/Aug 1981 - Jeffersonian

T
his is the bi-annual update of our
regular annual Custom
Pisto/smith Directory. For the
complete listing of 99-p/us custom
pisto/smiths, including a regional directory,
refer to AMERICAN HANDGUNNER
January/ February 1981 issue. Our next
full directory will appear in the Jan / Feb
1982 issue-watch for it. Our exclusive
Directory is the most up-to-date and complete
in print!
For any of you who missed our 1981
Custom Pisto/smith Directory, back issues
are available for $2.00 each from
AMERICAN HANDGUNNER, J/F ISSUE, 291
Camino de la Reina, San Diego, CA
92108.
As always, the 'smiths listed here all do
general pistofsmithing work-trigger
jobs, barrel work, sight installation, etc.­
and one step further: their custom specialties,
as fisted, separate them from
being just a repair facility, and highlight
them as skilled .handgun craftsmen.
SILHOUETTE
'SMITHS
The 1982 Directory will feature, in
addition to our regular listings, a special
listing of Silhouette 'Smiths who
work on, or build custom silhouette
unlimited handguns. Anyone wanting
to get on the list, write or call Managing
Editor Mike Packard (714) 297­
5352. The listing is free-the ton of
extra work you'll receive from being
listed is your problem.
