SHOT SHOW NEWS

Well, I am back from the Shot Show in Las Vegas and ready for a nap!

The show was really great for me as I was able to meet and spend some time with a lot of friends and customers. The only problem with the show for this pistolsmith is that I find so many guns that I NEED!  I love the ArmaLite Super SASS and NEED a left hand AR 50, a few new Leupold scopes, a new Aimpoint , I could go on and on.. The Perazzis always make my mouth water and with all the hunting gear my soul just longs for next season.  

If black guns are your thing, (ARs) then the Shot Show is the place to see every manufacturer’s interpretation of how they should be made. There are some cool new ideas coming out for the ARs but for me, I need lots of rounds down range to prove it is a viable improvement.

As a lot of you know, I have been a practicing martial artist for many years and I love watching the UFC fighters bang away on each other. Several of the UFC’s famous fighters were at the show and I was able to shake hands with some of the guys I am a fan of. This was a big highlight of the show for me and I found them really nice and courteous even when I was star struck.  Oh, I did get to see some or the fights on Saturday night thanks to a very cool door man. “go on in brother” nice guy.

Another cool thing that happened was that I got to meet one of my heroes, Les Stroud of the Survivor Man TV show. Les is a great guy and easy to talk to. He answered all of my many questions on survival. Very cool and brave guy with a lot of good intel.

One more thing, I flew on Southwest and sat next to two Iraq vets on their way home; one was wounded and all braced up, in-between us was a sergeant coming home from his second tour. Both could not wait to get back to the fight. But what was so special on this trip was the Stewart, announcing over the intercom that we have a war hero, wounded in Iraq while fighting for us on board and asked everyone to give him a heart felt thanks. The whole plane erupted in cheers, clapping hands and “thank yous” How cool is that!

Watch here for some very exciting things from Morris Custom Pistols in the coming year.

New Magwells

The Morris Magwell for the 1911

I am now offering a custom magwell of my own design.

These magwells are designed for easy installation by a gunsmith or machinist.  They require only one setup in the vice of the mill, with only the changing of cutters to machine. They can be welded, or silver soldered into place for the very cleanest of installations. There are no screw holes to align and tap, and no screw heads and plates to mill out the grips for.

This means your grips will be stronger, and less prone to splitting. The 60-degree bevel makes mag changes faster and the weld/silver solder on design, makes the finished product one of the same piece feel and a more aesthetically pleasing, stronger unit.

Price is $79.95

Motorcycle Pistolero

Article from American Handgunner

Mark Morris (of Morris Custom) likes 1911 pistols — and motorcycles. When his friend, whose son was diagnosed with kidney disease, invited Mark to ride in a race/endurance event to benefit the Nephcure Foundation (supports Kidney disease research), Mark jumped at the chance. “Are you kidding,” he told me. “Ride my Ducati for 100 laps at break-neck speeds, all for a great cause? Count me in!” Mark then added his “Morris Touch” by getting people in the shooting industry involved to sponsor him. The first “Seattle 100” as it’s called, was held last year in Seattle, Washington, and raised $13K. This year’s event topped $70K! Mark talked to some of his shooting friends and others in the biz, put stickers on his bike, and went to work.

“I thought,” said Mark, “It would be a great chance for shooters to show we care, in a very public way.” And, as is usually the case, he found shooters everywhere. A TV show, Two Wheel Tuesday on Speed TV is hosted by an amiable fellow named Greg White. The show was on-hand to film the event and when Greg saw what was going on with Mark, it intrigued him. “It turns out Greg, his wife and his father-in-law all shoot IDPA, and Greg’s getting pretty good at it,” laughed Mark. Greg was on-board with Mark’s efforts and was a solid supporter. Greg told Mark he’d probably be surprised if he found out just how many of the other competitors in the game were also shooters. We say, don’t be ashamed to admit it! Mark did, and got plenty of support.

Our American Handgunner hat is off to Mark’s sponsors: Dr. Anthony “Tony” P. Bucolo; Black Hills Ammo; Cylinder & Slide Shop; Mitch Rosen; Blackhawk Industries; Andy Kemp, of Mid-West Training Group; George Latus, who owns the Harley Davidson super store in Portland; Dave Roosevelt of Seattle Ducati; and Josh, with Tiger Shark Racing and Pirelli tires.

Well done, gents.

Available to the discriminating Stephen Hunter Fan.

SOLD


 

A Para P16 Morris Custom built for Stephen Hunter, author of such books as:
     Point of Impact
 Black Light
Time to Hunt
 Dirty White Boys
 Hot Springs
 Pale Horse Coming

Mr. Hunter will sign a book to the buyer of his Morris Custom. This is an awesome and unique opportunity for the Stephen Hunter fan.

 

Steve had a Para P16 built with the Tactical Carry package in 1995, as he is a real shooter, not just someone who writes about shooting. He is interested in a new project and has asked me to sell his Morris Custom for him. As a fan of his books as many shooters are, this is a must have, one of a kind pistol. Yea, it has been shot, and used. That is because it was built for a shooter, although it was never abused and is in great condition. SOLD
Interested persons e-mail me, or call (509) 476-2425
 .
Good Shooting,
Mark Morris
ps. a copy of the original MCP invoice will be included with the pistol.
