I’m glad his legacy will live on through Wilson Combat.

Damn. As a longtime user of his mags, and owner of Kimbers, I have GREATLY appreciated his work. He will be missed.

“Chips” Mag Follower was designed by Devel Corp. in '82 from memory.

Charles Kelsey and Walt Wolff were designers.

Just keeping the Historical Record intact. He WAS a very good business man.
