A Note From Bob on TJ’s Custom Gunworks

My good buddy Bob, who enjoys playing with things that go bang as much as I do, followed the stories I’ve done on my TJ-modified revolvers and pistols.  Bob wrote to ask if the guy really is that good.  He is, I said. In fact, he’s better.

Bob took the plunge and had TJ refine several of his guns.  Bob sent this note to me after he took his TJ-modified automatics to the range.


Joe,

I got my Berettas back from TJ. I initially took him a M-1951 and a 92 and when he was done with those I picked them up and dropped off another 92 for a Level 1 package and a Radom P-64 that I was having trouble with. Picked those up a few weeks ago and finally got to the range yesterday. Took the M-1951 and both 92s and what a difference. Just wonderful.

You were totally right about TJ. And I would like to do a guest blog at some point. Any tips?

Bob


Bob, thanks for the note and the photos, and the offer to write a guest blog.  We always love receiving them.  As for tips, if the question refers to writing, my advice is to just be yourself.  If it refers to shooting, that’s easy:  Focus on the front sight.   And thanks again!

Check out my custom guns from TJ’s Custom Gunworks!  I’ve had six handguns and a rifle customized by TJ, and every one of them is a stellar example of his craftsmanship.  These include my Model 59, a bright stainless Colt 1911, my MacManus Colt 1911, the Rock Island Compact, a Model 60 Smith and Wesson snubbie, a Ruger Mini 14, and my new Colt Python.  TJ’s emphasis is on reliability and perfection and he’s met both of those objectives in every case.  When it comes to custom firearms, TJ is in a class of one!
