Randy (AKA Holy Terror) just posted this on Facebook:

I am departing on an exciting new journey. More details will follow. GLOCK is a wonderful company but it is time for new opportunities and challenges. I thank them for the years of support and look forward to much success with a new company.

Anyone wanna bet she's following Jessie (sigh) to Taurus?

How soon before Tori leaves and all Glock has left is the Gunny?

The sad thing about this is that I consider myself a gun guy, and I still believe that gun companies are gun people.  Sadly I need to be reminded that the days of William Ruger and Randy Luth are history.  Whether it is the owners, controllers, or the representatives, most in the industry are nothing but hired ... hired ... oh there is no other way to say it, they are nothing but hired guns.

The world is changing around us.  Rather than enjoying and following people I enjoy, like and trust, I find myself wondering how long before people with long family history like Julie Golob or those with strong business interest and ties like Rob Leatham make a move.

I wish these people the best in their new rolls, but I shed a tear for the changes in the gun culture.

P.S.

I also recognize that several of our top shooters are from S&W's Performance Center.  Read up on that system, and you will be all the more impressed when you see what it takes to be a part of that branch.  There are pro's at S&W that I put neck deep in our culture, but I named the ones I know best.

Didnt old Bill Ruger push for your 10 round mag limit legislation or was a major player in its inception?

If I recall correctly, and I haven't done a search on this, Sr. was in fear of losing the Mini 14 and 10/22 to the Clinton Ban, so he took a proactive approach by proposing a fifteen round limit on magazines.  He then moved further and talked the talk to media and other experts to make it look like a legitimate proposal.  However, I believe he also said later that it was a mistake to attempt to compromise with the anti-gunners.

I may not have this 100%, but is what my feeble brain is remembering.

Something was said that he was also currying government favor in hopes of realizing a long time dream of his for a military arms contract.  I have only memory to substantiate that fact...and use m58's disclaimer

What I hear RR will be shooting for Comp Tac holsters.

But which gun manufacturer?  That is where the big money is!

From MB's blog entry:  Big shuffling in the competition world, what with Jeesie going to Taurus & Randi Rogers leaving Glock for Comp-Tac Holsters!  She also mentioned on Facebook that she's keeping her Glocks.

[MikeBjerum]

She'll show up with another trigger and barrel company.  Holster companies aren't the main sponsors.  Look at the top shooters.  They all have a holster company on their gun shirts.

If you go and look you will see a long list of shooters on Team Safariland - Springfield, Glock, S&W, STI, Oooops, there is Miss Rogers    She left Safariland for Comp-Tac.  Wait and see, there will be a new gun shirt for her to stitch Comp-Tac on to.
