Some guncompanies and gun-related companiesbothlarge and small-help pay shooters'expenses to the major matches. This wasunknown two or three years ago.For many decades, bullseye and PPC(Practical Pistol Course) shooters receivedvirtually nothing for their match wins.How things have changed!Shooters have never earned what theynow take in each year in cash awards. Itmakes bullseye champs, such as Jim Clark,Bill Blankenship and Gil Heberd, wishthey could roll back the years to when theyhad to buy that certain box ofammunitionor special gun for upcoming matches.BIG BUSINESSThe gun industry does big business. Andguns were in use long before tennis racketsand gold clubs were ever thought about,professionally. If Bjorn Borg can get$25,000 a year for wearing and endorsing a$5 sweat band what should a U.S. Championor World Champion shooter get fromsuch companies as Colt, Smith & Wesson,Ruger and Charter Arms?Hornady is the only ammunition com-."pany that sponsors any IPSC shooter in theU.S. It helps at least five ofthe top shootersin the country. Hornady supplied the U.S.World IPSC Team with ammunition, withwhich the world championship was won.Continued on page 92AMERICAN HANDGUNNER • MARCH/APRIL 1983WILSON COMBATNo. 1 CompetitionMatch Trigger (long·adiustable)$15.95NO. 34 Extended Com·bat E iector, precisionmachined from 4140stock & heat treatedRic 38·42. 100 per·cent positive ejector.$15.95 •WILSON COMBATNo. 3 High VisibilityCombat Sights $25.00.No. 3D with 3 dotsighting system $32.00.We will install within 3wks. for a $20.00 laborcharge.FINE CUSTOM COMBAT HANDGUNS andACCESSORIES for the DISCRIMINATINGSHOOTER.NO.2 B SHOK· BU F F" Replacement buffers(pkg. of 6) $5.50NO.6 Extended Combat Safety (blue orstainless) $19.50NO.7 Extended Combat Slide Release (blueor stainless) $21.50No. 10 Heavy Duty Recoil spring (govt. orcomm.) $2.50No. 11 Heavy Duty Recoil Spring Kit (qovt.or comm.) $4.50NO.5 MaQazine base pads $1.50No. 60 Devel 8 rd..45 magazine, bluefinish $18.95No. 13 Pachmayr GM·45C CombatGrips $17.50No. 14 Pachmayr Mainspring Housing (B orC) ......~~5ONo. 23 Break·Free CLP (90 Gm.) $3.45No. 16 Rogers E·Z Loader MagazineWell............................. . .$9.95No. 15 Rogers PPS Combat Grips(black) $14.95No. 51 Rogers, Plaxco Model World SpeedShoot Holster, pI., br., leather (govt. orlongslide) . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .. .$44.95No. 22 Bbl.
