Gun Blogger Rendezvous III (a.k.a. GBR III)

The GBR III ran from October 9th thru the 12th of 2008. Hi-Cap Gun Works was proud to take part in what the gun blogger world might see as a union of like minded patriotic people who come together and share firearm knowledge, aptitude, and know how. The GBR has a very special mission...and that's to help raise money for Project Valour-IT.

Hi-Cap Gun Works was able to contribute to the GBR by handling some of the logistical shipping issues involed with getting some very nice guns to the GBR and then back again to some eager owners. One particular handgun was a Para PXT LDA Limited Single Stack Pistol. This gun was donated by Para USA to be raffled off at the GBR in support of Project Valour-IT. Take a look at this!

This Para felt really really good my hands...but once I shot it! WOW! I must admit, the thought crossed my mind that it would get "lost" in shipment to the raffle winner. It's a tough gun to let go and GBR was very grateful to receive such a generous donation. Congrats! to the winner of this Para. Yes I do know his name...but Hi-Cap is keeping it secret because someone might be inclined to break into the winners home and steal it. Providing he doesn't blast you with a precision made hi-quality limited edition .45.

I won't spend much more time writing about the GBR. The bloggers that attended the GBR have already posted some great material and images. Here is a list of just a few of these bloggers:

Hi-Cap Gunworks would like to give a special thanks to Mr. Completely for his hard work in orchestrating this event. Also, a big thanks to Ashley Varner of the NRA and Larry Weeks of Brownells. And to the sponsors and every gun blogger that attended...it was an honor and a privilege. You are a great bunch of people and we were proud to be invited to share this event with you. Thank you.

Hi-Cap doesn't dabble much in photography...but I thought you bloggers might enjoy a few pictures I took at the shoot.

50 BMG...need I say more? A blast to shoot (no pun intended)

More Saiga 12 action. There is no doubt the Saiga 12 is fun to shoot
