**ROBOWOP** · August 1st, 2010, 06:56 PM

Hi,my name is Lou..[Hi Lou..] I live in Dupont,PA,54 years old,been shooting,casting,fixing guns and reloading since I was a kid.Got my first shooting trophy in 1967.I'm an accomplished gunsmith,although I don't have an FFL anymore.I own a bullet casting business I'm trying to get going,and I own a motorcycle shop.I haven't shot much in the way of competition in the past few years since my club closed[LCLEO&A] but I shot expert or master in most classes.I'm presently trying to get back into it.Just to "tantalize" you all a little,here's a gun I built..Les Baer frame,STI slide,if you don't recognize the part,I made it.I was approached at an NRA action match a few years ago by Doug Koenig,he wanted to see my gun,LOL!!! The comp is gone,I built a nicer one,it shoots a .38 caliber 10 shot figure 8 at 50 yards off a Ransom Rest..

Here's my beast,my son named him Samson,after "Son Of Sam"..He's a big goof,though,so now he's "Homer Samson"..I've got two more,got his sister,Drucilla,after the cutie wacko vampirette from Buffy The Vampire Slayer,and a pup from a friend named "Moose"..He was a lot bigger,he just went through a REALLY bad bought of Whipworm,almost lost him..[DON'T let your dog get it!!!!]
