Now I know why PK90 recommended them to me.

That article is one of many reasons why I liked that website and will miss Mr. Camps simple yet informative writing style. Mr. Camp passed away in May, 2011. His website and his books are a wealth of info and insights on handguns.I credit him as the resource that turned me onto CZ handguns when nobody else was shooting them in the states and hipowers. Everyone should read his pages over and over again.

I drank the DPX coolaid years ago. Pretty much every test I've seen of it, in every caliber, shows very uniform expansion consistently, test after test.

Expensive, but worth it IMO.

Damn! Ive been so busy I didnt catch that he had passed. He wrote the Article in American Handgunner about my 1911 pistolsmithing class............

He was a genuinely respectful person on forums. I bought his HiPower handbook and it is a wealth of information.

He will be missed.

ok... what 1911 pistolsmithing class??? I want link now.

I had no clue he had passed - I linked it because it was informative and educational without being preachy or full of baloney. I see nothing on his site about his passing - sad that we lose more gems every day.

Axe, Im guessing it was around 2000ish. I got the bright idea of starting the very first online 1911 build class. It gained momentum and ended up recieving a ton of industry suport. In fact our pistols were the very fist to get the DLC coating you see all over the firearms world today. The class was a great success and continued on for quite some time. All pistols from the class have the Partiot serial number. I have #1. It ended somewhere in the couple hundreds I believe. It was in American Handgunner 2 times.
