Early IPSC'er Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 ...I've handled and photographed the Devel Gammon in question (it is in the collection of a huge 1911 buff) and the one I fondled looks not at all like the one in the photo. Even the contour of the comp is different. As soon as I posted that pic I had second thoughts--it didn't look like what I remembered Mickey shooting. I only got a brief glance up close and he opened the slide to show the funky roller on the feed ramp. Here's Mickey shooting in the Nationals in 80 or 81 (sorry, I jumbled the negatives--maybe an old timer will be able to tell us which) and I'm pretty sure that this is the Gammon gun: ...and here he is in a shootoff with Plaxco using it: ...Patrick, does this one look more like the gun you've seen? I'm pretty sure that this is it, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Can't tell from those pics, too small. Let me dig out a pic of the Gammon gun and post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powder Finger Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Here's the one i handled and photographed. That's the one with the sideways round feedramp thingy. Also noticed it has the swaged magwell. I think one was a cover gun on "Hand Gunner" in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early IPSC'er Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Here's the one i handled and photographed. Patrick, do you have any idea regarding how many of these Charlie made? Mickey's the only one that I remember using one and IIRC his experience with it was spotty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Neill Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I'm fairly certain Chip was using one at least for a while. The photos of Mickey on the climbing wall look like the 1981 Nationals. The wall was part of the "Smash, Crash and Dash" stage - at least that's what it looks like. That was an all steel Nationals, except for the Dark House standards.
