Bill Davis passes away

heard on another forum that Bill Davis had passed away. He was an innovative gunsmith and highly regarded.

My prayers go out to him and his family

I'm very sad to hear that.

Back in the day; I used Bill's revolvers exclusively for PPC competition.  Unfortunately; the only one that I still have is the below Smith and Wesson 60-4.  It has all of the bells and whistles one would expect from a "target snub-nose" (perhaps an oxymoron to some; to others....it makes perfect sense).  Even with my tired old eyes and standing on my hind legs; it will still cut a single hole a twenty-five yards with wad cutters.

To me; Bill was always extremely nice and supportive.  A great shot and skilled craftsman.

We just lost a good one from the old school.

Oh, that's a shame.. I last saw him at one of the Shot Shows in Orlando..a great smith, great shot.. He and Jerry Eason were a formidable team, in PPC.
He was also a  Charter member of the American Pistolsmith Guild...
