A Tribute To The Late Jeff Cooper

To honor the memory of Colonel Jeff Cooper on the one year anniversary of his death, Historian Ronald A. Carrillo, USAF (Ret.), introduces a new book titled BREN TEN: THE HEIR APPARENT. This exclusive book traces the remarkable story of how two novice gun enthusiasts, with the help of renowned pistol authority Jeff Cooper, managed to create such an innovative combat handgun that Cooper called it the "heir apparent" to the venerable Colt 1911 Government Model. Being one of the most controversial handguns of all time, the Bren Ten became a sensation among shooters during the 1980's and the gun of choice for TV star Don Johnson on the iconic Miami Vice television series. Just what happened to this incredibly promising pistol is a story that has never been fully told until now. Utilizing exclusive interviews and rare documents, the author provides an in depth perspective on the company's internal struggles and the ultimately insurmountable obstacles that evenutally led to it's tragic downfall.
