10X 3,278 Posted June 11, 2021 Chip passed away a few days ago. If you haven't heard of him, as a competitor, as a gunsmith, as an inventor, you've at least used things he had a hand in creating: 8 round 1911 mags, drop-in match triggers, Kimber and STI/Staccato pistols.

BullzeyeNJ 104 Posted June 12, 2021 A legendary pioneer in the 1911 industry. I didnt know it was his idea to create a modular double stack 1911 that ended up as the STI 2011. Pretty amazing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njJoniGuy 2,129 Posted June 12, 2021 And Chip's 10 round .45acp 1911 mags were enough to make even a white boy feel like Wilt Chamberlain in the locker room shower after a game! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
