Howdy, Was puttering around on YouTube this morning and saw an old NRA video featuring Bill Jordan that you might find fun to watch. Pretty damn good at hip shooting I must say! m.youtube.com/watch?v=q3YUqn2c8ssJDre |

I haven't opened the link,,, but I recall Bill.
A quiet, yet impressive gentleman. He is often overlooked by many when writers are discussed. But his gun handling skills were EXCELLENT. I always enjoyed the banter between him & Skeeter in ST,, way back when,,,,!

I met Bill Jordon on an airplane. We were both headed to an SCI Convention in Las Vegas. He greeted me and talked with me as though I was a long-lost friend of many years, and was soft spoken and kind. At 6' 6", he was a giant of a man, and in more ways than one. He died a few months after we met.

Introduced chronograph maestro Ken Oehler to the proper way to eat the fantastic fruitcake made by Ken Oehler’s mother. Serve the fruitcake in a bowl. Pop the cork on a bottle of Wild Turkey... pour booze on fruitcake until it forms an appropriate pool. Eat with spoon. David Bradshaw |

Met him once at the SHOT Show in Dallas about 1983. Was riding down the escalator and turned around for some reason and was staining at a belt buckle...and I'm 6'2". Looked UP and it was Bill. Got to talk to him for about 5 minutes... Besides his soft spoken manner what impressed me were his hands...he would put Michael Jordan to shame... They simply swallowed mine.
Always enjoyed his articles. Have a signed copy of his book that I got long before I was a LEO...
