An Innovator's Notebook

Grennell was an old-time writer, a man who was re-building M1911 .45's and making them more than the sum of their parts, long before the world assumed a box-stock Kimber was a "custom 45." For those interested in uncommon custom tricks that time has lost, as we now have a pretty much "standard" list of .45 tricks, Grennell is well worth reading. Together with Ace Hindman, he developed the powerhouse .45 Super cartridge, and Super aficanados will find the history fascinating. Written in a warm, yet not anecdotal style, it's info-packed yet easy to read.
