The pistol was used by him as a demonstration gun in his training classes, as well as a personal carry gun. The firearm has been thoroughly inspected by Vickers, and is valued at $3850. You can enter to win it here.

Guns For A Cause has worked to support charitable organizations such as Kara’s HoPE, The Hero911 foundation, Tampa Green Berets and many others. It’s free to enter the drawing.
