A Review Of Gun Guy: Original Gun Guy
"Bill Wilson’s new biography, GUN GUY, tells the story of a self-made man in the new Gun Culture
In the late 1970’s in a tiny corner of his dad’s jewelry store business, Bill Wilson started a firearm and firearm parts company that completely changed they way shooters view the venerable 1911 pistol and in doing so helped created the new Gun Culture. Wilson Combat is a different firearms company a company dedicated to the relentless pursuit of quality pistols, rifles and shotguns. Bill Wilson is iconic, legendary, stubborn, a heck of good shot, a savvy entrepreneur, visionary, a father and husband. Wilson has vision. He is a self-described Gun Guy and in his new book, GUN GUY, Wilson tells his story, in his own words.
In the beginning Wilson just liked guns, really liked guns. Wilson did not intend to become a gunsmith, he actually studied watchmaking. From humble beginnings as a competitive shooter and budding gunsmith, Wilson created a powerhouse of a company that leads firearm development and others follow. Wilson Combat produces the finest 1911 pistols made and that is due to a passion and long hours. It has made Bill Wilson an icon in the firearms industry.
You may think Bill Wilson was born with a 1911 in his hand but it was a Colt Python that was his entry into competitive shooting. Yes a revolver. If you are a gun guy or a gun gal, then GUN GUY is a must read. Let Bill take you on a gun adventure with building a business from scratch, shooting competitions, founding IDPA, hunting exotics around the world, and more. Bill Wilson is true American success story."
