" The life of my Grey Ghost"
It is hard to believe that it has been three years since I talked Dane into selling the Grey Ghost to me. I have known Dane for some time now. I have a great deal of respect for him and his abilities. I must, because I entrust the function of this weapon daily with my life, the life of my family, and my colleagues. It must perform on demand, it cannot stutter, waiver, or bobble at anytime!
The Grey Ghost has performed admirably over the years, throughout adverse conditions throughout the globe. The Grey Ghost held up to the rigors of torrential rain, mud, sand, and high humidity and worst of all ME. I have shot just over nine thousand three hundred rounds through it, it would have been more but over the last year 45 caliber ammunition has been scarce overseas. The ammunition consisted of mainly my carry ammunition, 200-grain plus p Hornady and 230 grain Hydra-shoks, the rest being ball ammunition. I use this weapon not only as a daily carry weapon but also when providing training to numerous agencies and units throughout the US, it has never incurred a malfunction, matter of fact when teaching malfunction drills I have to work real hard to even set up a malfunction in this weapon, because it will feed anything. I was fortunate enough to have served as a force recon Marine. During that time I used a MEUSOC pistol, so I thought of comparing the Grey Ghost with the MEUSOC pistol. The MEUSOC pistol pales in comparison to the Grey Ghost. But looking at the total picture we can see why. A professional pistol smith builds the Grey Ghost. An armorer builds the MEUSOC pistol. The Grey Ghost is my primary weapon. The MEUSOC pistol is a second or sometimes a third weapon. That’s not to say that it is any less important but to say you have more options if there is a problem. I believe Dane has done a bang up job putting together a package that is no doubt as reliable as any piece of machinery can be. I carry a pistol daily as a profession, I do not take that lightly, and you shouldn’t either, and that is why it is so important to know who the person is building your weapon. I whole heartily recommend the Grey Ghost to anyone out there that demands their money’s worth when buying a custom weapon and doing so from a man with high morals and integrity with the utmost skills.
