I would recognize that man's hands anywhere.

I would venture to say that he has the most photographed and recognizable hands in the world.

Ayoob is one of my favorites.

Thanks for the article. I am expecting a CMP 1911 on about 6 weeks.

Had an MP on my base in the 1960's do that. He'd cleared his duty 1911A1 hundreds, maybe thousands of times that way.

It only blew a hole through his palm once.

Nah. He knows about carrying one, or using one in a pistol match. For someone who knows how to use one in the days when it was the best autopistol in use [still awfully good!] See William Ewett Fairbairn or Rex Applegate.
