Episode 70-40 Smith and What? with Erick Gelhaus
Thanks for being patient while I’ve been on the mend from the “vid”. Today I’m joined again by Erick Gelhaus of Cougar Mountain Solutions. I got several fan messages this week about .40S&W and what happened! Erick and I were on the front lines when that cartridge kind of came off the rails and our story is similar. It all stemmed from a series of events which effectively made 9mm reign king again. Enjoy the show and since I said the magic Gelhaus word…you know what to do.
