Every once in a while the stars line up just the way you want 'em to.
Made the cover of this catalog...Front and Back.
Thanks Frank B.!

Forget Brownells your work should be displayed all over the world if not in a museum. Congrats on the cover!!!

Congrats Brian ! Nice to see that your work is getting the attention that it deserves.

Helix_FR · 05-20-2011, 11:34 PM

Absolutely gorgeous work Brian. Bout time you got some mainstream attention. You deserve it.

permafrost · 05-21-2011, 06:10 AM

I've seen and heard of your work. Very impressive! Nice to put a real person with it.

TheGunClinger · 05-21-2011, 07:17 AM

Doesnt look to me that luck had anything to do with it. Your beautiful works of art speak for themselvs. Congrats!

Double D · 05-21-2011, 08:45 AM

I just got that yesterday and commented on the work. Congrats! As a matter of fact, this is a huge deal that deserves recognition!!

BrianPowley · 05-21-2011, 11:13 AM

Thanks everyone!
BTW...These guns should be featured in The American Handgunner Magazine in the near future. The American Pistolsmiths' Guild is raffling these off. $20.00 a ticket. You can't beat it.

That's not luck. That is skill and inspiration.

Nice BP. Its about time they gave your talent some spotlight.

BrianPowley · 05-23-2011, 10:32 PM

Thanks Again everyone. I just finished a really nice Gov't Model as a presentation piece for the Commander of the 23rd Fighter Squadron USAF.
I'll post some pictures when I'm able to take good ones.

Buckshot · 05-24-2011, 02:07 AM

Congratulations! Beautiful work.

pkcgbifaid · 05-25-2011, 07:17 AM

Brian, I just received my catalog so I can see the pictures in all their glory and I am speechless. "WOW" is totally inadequate. Your artistry is perfectly displayed, and it’s just one more reason for me to hope to be able to have you work on a gun for me some day. Congrats!

BrianPowley · 05-25-2011, 07:18 AM

Thanks for the kind remarks, everyone!

Brian, I just posted in your "Presentation 1911" thread, about seeing the ad for the American Pistolsmiths Guild 2011 raffle guns.
I ran across that thread before this one.
I just wanted to congratulate & compliment you on the awesome job that you did.

Beautiful work!!
