DAVID WESTERHOUT – OLYMPIAN

David Westerhout went from competing as a javelin thrower for the UK in 1954 and representing England as a 400-meter hurdler in 1958 to shooting in the World Combat Pistol Championships in 1977 for Rhodesia. Westerhout gained notoriety for his dryfire training that led to victory. As Rhodesia became Zimbabwe, he competed in the rapid-fire pistol event at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, Russia. Field Editor Keith Wood traveled to Zimbabwe to interview Westerhout, one of the most unlikely world champion shooters the sport has known.

Kimber's Race Gun

Kimber's streak of innovative double-stack 1911s continues with the new 2K11. Available in 9mm or .45 ACP, the 2K11 features an enhanced slide with eye-catching hex-style serrations, optic cut, and fiber-optic front sight. Combining quality parts, a striking design, and a price tag that won't make your eyes water, Kimber may have found the Goldilocks zone of double stack 1911s. You can check out our full review here.
