Knew him personally

 

[warren]

I used his book in my "Officer Survival" teaching.

 

[Jacob74]

Legend.

 

[philobeddoe]

I’ve got many of his books and his Gun Notes volumes are especially good.

The .41 mag is my all-time favorite. Can be loaded to suit any situation/task.

 

[LotusEater]

I don’t know who that is but I might have guessed @warren sans beard if he hadn’t dispelled that notion with the third post in this thread.

Are those 41 mags in the picture?

The rim fire bullets?

Yup.

They just drilled smaller holes in the N-frame .44 mag (which is actually .429") to create the .41 mag (which is a true .410").

Full loads with a 4" barrel kicks like a bitch, btw. That man had hands and wrists like steel.

The rimfire reference I don't get at all... [insert confused face]

 

[Brad H]

I got no idea who he is, so I’m not friend material.

 

[Jo L.S.]

I believe this is the hunter Elmer Keith.

Bond... James Bond would definitely know. (He's Annie Oakley trickshot good with a handgun)

Perhaps you are an avatar deceptionistificator, and not Bond... James Bond at all?

Looks like a poseur of almost MacArthuresque stature.
So now that we can’t be friends, who is this glamour boy?

I believe so. Elmer was given a pair of 41 Mags by S&W in 1964

If we talking Roger Moore he would have probably known who we are talking about. Guarantee Daniel Craig likely would not know him.

Elmer Keith,the dean of American gun writers

Wrong read.

He was the real deal and then some. He just didn't give a shit what anyone thought he looked like.

Right. More of a Napoleon complex.

Question One: Can you do lots of difficult shit to a high standard, and innovate, and communicate well?

If the answer is yes, little else matters.
