Today is a poignant day in my memory, on this day 3 years ago my shooting pard and fidus Achates
the late John Holmes passed.
We haunted our Friendly LGS
every Saturday morning like clockwork.
had lunch together 3 or more times a week.
We shot NCOWS, hosting the Florida Posse' Cracker Cow Cavalry, which he and I chartered, and travel out of State to Matches in S. Carolina & Texas & Ind., several conventions and the National in 2016.
John and I often went to the Melbourne Fl Gun shows, we also traded many guns between us.
I've shown this one before, but on this day, I present again, our last trade just 3 days before his unexpected passing.
A Very cool
French MAB PA 15, these were France's offering to the trials for NATO.
15 rounds (one more than the FN High-power)
This one purchased in Heidelburg, Germany US Post exchange by a former high school friend of John's and Air Force Officer.
This is the military version; MAB briefly had a civilian version offering for import, so they are somewhat rare here in the US.
So, I have it out and will send some 9MM into my bullet traps, which just feels good
