He has also written for numerous firearms-related television programs and multiple training videos. As a founding member of both IPSC and the IDPA, Ken has been actively involved in fostering the development of practical handgun shooting sports worldwide for almost 40 years.
Ken drew upon decades of practical experience and his vast collection of custom handguns to develop the “Hackathorn Special.” This model is geared towards the needs of the serious defensive shooter. It is a unique combination of our time-tested best features like full-size slide and frame, one piece Bullet Proof® magwell, concealment hammer/grip safety, and the versatile medium-length trigger. Each pistol will have Ken’s signature and logo on the slide.
Since this pistol is well equipped with Ken’s preferred custom options, the only allowable upgrades are ambidextrous safety, choice of front sight and deluxe hand-polish blued finish. (Ivory grips and hex screws are for photo purposes only and are not a standard feature.)
