Merlin Orr Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 I guess it's really just a testimony to Benny Hill and his innovative firearms. More than a few of his developments - his creations -have now become "mainstream" in USPSA and 3 Gun competition and are now copied by both other gunsmiths and even large firearms manufacturers. Benny Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x21 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) I guess it's really just a testimony to Benny Hill and his innovative firearms. More than a few of his developments - his creations -have now become "mainstream" in USPSA and 3 Gun competition and are now copied by both other gunsmiths and even large firearms manufacturers. Benny Hill. I get it now. I only get my auto pistolas from Custom gunsmiths, so I missed it. Benny is next on my list I would like to have build one, I'm waiting for frames....................

Flexmoney Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Don't forget Jim Clark Sr. (he might have been first with the 6in. 1911 ?) Robbie has been shooting a 6in Springfield gun for a while...and MikeV (STI) too. Para came out with one. Glock has had the G17L and the G24 for years... Seems like just about everybody has been making one (STI's, Caspian, etc.) in the last year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yep Robbie saw the one Benny built for me ( 1st 6" Fat Free w/ bushing bbl.) and next nationals had one with almost the same cuts and lightening. The two look like brothers except mine is H.C. and Robies was black. Jim Clark Sr. I think made the first 6" single stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
