Hello to all. It was a pleasant surprise to find COTEP out on its own. With its own forum no less. I have been away on a health realignment mission and I am really surprised to see how much you guys have done. The forum looks great I recognize several of you from the Dan Wesson sub forum where I got started. For credentials I sport a CBOB Patriot circa 2005 with a pair of custom tailored elephant tusks (by Charles Spresser). "Patty Bob" is a better shooter than me so together we do OK.
At a show recently I furthered my enlightenment by buying a piece of the other half of John Moses Browning pistol genius: a Hi Power. This beauty from 1974 (SN 74Cxxxxx) was at some point accurized by James Hoag. The bottom of the slide has his stamp"J HOAG". I haven't shot her yet but my love for her is growing every day.
