I would love one in 32-20, not likely to happen unless I find a decent priced Italian jobber. Next would be the 45 Colt, which I loaded more rounds for than I can count, and then a 38-40 or 44-40, not real particular long as I'm wishful thinkin here.

Don't disagree about the silver spoon upbringing, but he chose a different path for himself.

There were at least 3 gunfights, if not discussed, at least alluded to in numerous writings. Ayoob covered them in one of the articles in his "The Gunfights of..." series.

Also, Jeff appears to have at one time been a field contractor for The Company. He also honored his NDA, so we'll likely never know a number of things.

No doubt whatsoever that Cooper was an exceedingly effective firearms instructor. He changed the way that private citizens as well as professionals perceive defensive threats and tactics. I agree that he was one of the firearms greats and the best part is that he was able to communicate his skills and opinions to countless students of his craft.

Cooper was a friend of mine. Silver spoon? Don’t we all wish we were born into wealth? Not sure why that matters to us.

Jeff Cooper talked the talk and walked the walk! NOW, can we get back to the thread subject!?
