Up until this original post, I just blotted this whole thing out of my mind, but when I saw the OP, I just could not bring myself to ignore it. I did learn my lesson, and I have become wiser from this experience. There have not been a whole lot of times in my life when someone has "got over on me", but Munden did. I am now in the process of sending them back to Colt to have them refinished with Royal Blue & Case Colors, then I am having Nutmeg (Jim Aliamo -used to do the Custom Ivory work for Colt) make me 2 new set's of Ivory grips. I have not shot my SAA Colt's in those 4 years because to be honest it pained me to look at them! When I first started, they were on Sunday's. I hung up my spurs in the Cowboy Action Shooting game 4 years ago for a number of reasons, but mainly because at the time I was running two business and had to work on Saturday's which is when they held the matches. I dabbled in fast draw and trick shooting a little after that and now I like to watch his stunts to see where he is decieving the audience, but I have to do it with the audio turned down. When I watched it with my VCR in slow motion I could see little orange flickers of light pass by, which I thought at the time was BBs, but after learning more about "fast draw" I realized they were black powder blanks used for breaking balloons. And then there was a camera showing the balloons close up when they were shot. It was then too that I realized that while the balloons looked like they were about two feet apart while looking from the front, they were almost in a straight line looking down his line of sight. Then I noticed that one of the slow motion camera shots that they had shown was directly in the line of fire looking back through the balloons at Munden! Had he been using live ammo there was no way the camera wouldn't have been hit by a bullet. Slowing the tape down as far as I could, I could never get that second shot to show up, even thought the first one lasted about three or four frames. He then did his trick and it looked like he did what he said, and the slow motion camera shots proved it. 45 Colt rounds as he loaded them into his gun, which I thought was odd as he was in a building with a whole bunch of people in it. He claimed he was going to shoot two baloons, that appeard to be about two feet apart, with two seperate shots, but you would only be able to hear on shot. I jumped up and started taping it with my VCR.

Just curious.why in the world would you send a gun out with custom grips on it?Ĭhief38, the first time I ever heard of him was on a TV show that said he was the fastest gun alive. Not only is he the fastest gun who ever lived, but he is the fastest swindler that ever lived! I have also run in to another fella while competing at a SASS match who had a very similar experience with him. I still have these two Colt's and the destroyed Ivory grips today as a reminder to me to never send a gun out ever again!Īfter that episode, I started doing my own Gun Smithing, and have NEVER sent a gun out since! If I lived in the same state as him I would have sued him, but being 1,700 miles away, it would have cost more than I would have collected. He refused to pay for the totally ruined grips and never re-did the case hardening job either. Since the guns were new in the boxes when I sent them to him, there was not a chance in hell that they could have been ruined by anybody else but him. He did wind up fixing the loose barrel, but totally denied ruining the Ivory Grips. I received the guns back (after paying a LOT of bucks - over $1,500.00) and they were both severely damaged! One had a barrel that was so loose I could unscrew it with my hand, and both of them had what WERE gorgeous sets of Genuine Ivory Grips (done by the Colt Custom Shop) completely ruined! The Colt that had the color case hardening done on it came back with the worst colors I have ever seen in my life! Of course when I called him 10 minutes after opening the boxes he denied the whole thing, and after a threatening argument, he begrudgingly agreed to have them sent back to him. Years ago, I sent him two Colt Single Action Army Revolvers (fresh out of Colt's Custom Gun Shop) to have some action jobs, forcing cone and color case hardening work done on. Bob Munden is the Fastest, and he is also the man who I credit for getting me into gun smithing.
