I have several of his 1911 mags.

He made the best beavertail in the business for years. But it was a cast part, so when all the 1911 forum nerds started demanding only machined parts, it ended up discontinued. As though a beavertail needed to be a machined part with all the abuse it takes. Annoying, because I didn't stock up. That's all I've got.
