The Colonel Passes

col. jeff cooper passed away this afternoon. another ww2 vet and great human being has left our midst.

he was one of the first gun scribes i payed attention to in the magazines. a great guy who knew what he was talking about, and the reason i carry a 45acp.

semper fi col. jeff

+1,000 !

I didn't always agree with him in his later years, still, A hell of a force in firearm circles.....I also use a .45acp in large part due to col. Cooper.

Semper fi Devil Dog!
You will be missed!

May he have been in heaven 5 minutes before the Devil knew he was dead.

Right, wrong or indifferent, we pistol shooters owe a debt to Jeff Cooper not only for what he did but also what he has been doing. The school he founded has been training our elite military units in close order drill for years.
