Testimonials

 

Hi, Ed. I just received the grips and case. I really don't know what to say. I have purchased many. many guns and pairs of custom grips over the years and I am absolutely delighted. Excellent workmanship and quality, very distinctive! I would like to also add that your personalized, close attention makes your customer service second to none. I must admit, I am very particular and not easy to please when it comes to my firearms and their accessories, but, I can assure you, you have earned my praise and I would recommend you to anyone without any reservation whatsoever. Thank you so much.

Hi Ed. I just received the dragon grips, WOW! But did I ever screw up. I held them up to my presentation grade Colt 1911 just out of curiosity to see how they would look. Damn it! I was going to put these on the knife from Wilson Tactical we talked about but, now they are staying on the 1911. I want you to realize that since I discovered your grips I have replaced all of the grips on my Colts. We are not talking stock grips either. We are talking ivory, stag, some very classy stuff. I don't know what higher compliment you could receive. My only complaint is now that I have put the dragons on my 1911 I still don't have any grips for my knife! I still have to purchase another pair, and I really don't see how you will ever surpass the beauty of the dragons, but I will just have to wait and see. Thank you again,

Talk about customer service.  That was awesome. If you don't care, I would prefer the blued screw set.  I really appreciate how quick you responded.

Hey everyone, Kain from Armytank.com here, wanting to talk a little about wickedgrips.  I met Ed over the internet through Wickedgrips.com and was immediately impressed with his warm and friendly service.  We quickly became friends and Ed worked with me on every detail to make my grips truly one of a kind.  I instantly knew that it was of utmost importance to Ed that my grips fit my needs and ideas perfectly.  Ed and the wickedgrips crew clearly put the people first, and that made all the difference in the world to me.

I know for a fact that I received top of the line, one of a kind craftsmanship, services, products, and friendship.  My personal grips are a dream that has been realized by Wickedgrips.com and their hard work.  I couldn’t possibly be happier with my wicked grips and my coffin case.

I know guns, and I am a difficult man to impress, but Ed and Wickedgrips.com have done it.  His work is unsurpassed and he continually amazes us.  We at Armytank.com have truly been honored to work with Wickedgrips.com and call them our friends.

Dear Ed,

I wanted to thank you.  I just received the dragon
grips that I ordered for my husband's Christmas gift.
They are really beautiful.  He will absolutely LOVE
them. 

I really appreciate your excellent customer service.
You were very helpful throughout the process, from
ordering, to status updates, to making and rushing out
the grips before Christmas. 

I can't thank you enough!

Ed,
 
I received my grips yesterday. All I can say is WOW they are awesome. They look even better on my springfield. Thanks again Ed, and I'll be contacting you in the future when I'm in the market for another set of grips.

Well, Ed, as usual I really don't know what to say. I just received the Menuki mask grips. There are really no words to describe them. What can be said, beautiful, terrific, outstanding, a work of art? Any such platitudes are too trite to even begin to describe the integrity and quality of your work I can say, however, that I have played the shooting game for more years than most of your customers have been alive, as  a supervisor in a major sheriffs department, in the military, and in the civilian sector. You name it, any handgun, holster, and any grip, I have owned it, tried it, or at least heard about it. This is not bragging on my part. I simply want you and your customers to know the source of the high regard that I have for you and your product.

 Admittedly, your grips are something that will not appeal to everyone, but that is why i love them! For anyone who wishes for something out of the ordinary, truly unique, collectable, and of unbelievably top quality, you have No EQUAL! Aside from all that, as I have said before, It is your customer service and integrity that truly sets you apart. In short, to say that I am " picky" about my handguns and equipment would be like saying Attila The Hun was a liberal, but if anyone would like a reference regarding the beauty and quality of your work, I will gladly send them a copy of my credit card statement!
 
 
                                                                                           Thank you, Ed,

Ed,
  The stocks arrived yesterday....absolutely fantastic in look and craftsmanship. You are a "class act" Strange. I have them on the DW and they really match the piece and showcase the weapon better than I had hoped. They fit perfectly...!!! No looseness around the stock screw area. I will be taking pictures shortly and get them on G & A's gun board ASAP.    Best Regards and much success in the future.....

Hi Ed, 
  I just received my grips today. They are absolutely a work of art! They changed the whole look of the gun. The quality is outstanding. I will reccommend you  to all my shooting buddies. I will try to email you a picture of the grips on my gun. Thank You for making such a quality product.

Wow...thank you! I really appreciate everything you're doing for me,and I'm
extremely impressed with the proffesional way you're going about this. I had
no idea what to expect when I ordered the grips,and I certainly dont expect
or think I deserve anything for free.Thanks again!

on getting more grips in the future.  Great job.  Thanks.

ed, received my order today, and believe me the coffin case is the badass of all gun cases, it's too slick. the grips are first rate too. i'll be back for more.

thanks steve m.

Ed: I just received the grips. What can I say, exquisite work! I am the proud owner of a Colt Officer’s Elite. Beautiful gun, only 350 were made. What your grips have done for it is artistic enhancement!

Thanks,

Hey Ed, these grips look great!! The wood grain really sets off the stainless on my Kimber TLE/RL II. The finish is outstanding, and the craftsmanship really shows through. Your customer service is probably the best, in regards to timeliness of replies to questions, and shipping of the product. My next set will definitely come from you!!

Ed,

I am extremely pleased with my new grips. I thought they looked good in the
pictures. They look twice as good in person. And they feel so good.

If you ever need a reference, feel free to give my name. By the way, they
make quite a statement on your website.

Wicked Grips is a stand up company, the owner Ed Strange holds himself up to a level of perfection higher than his customers demand. If your grips do not meet his high level of excellence you can be sure he will not sell them and put his companies name on them. I stumbled upon on Wicked Grips via the 1911 forum and contacted him about a set of custom grips, he fulfilled my order above and beyond.  Ed stands behind his product, you can feel safe ordering from a guy who takes pride in quality and customer satisfaction.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unbelivable. It is obvious that I could not have gotten these from anyone else but you. I can just imagine even approaching any other grip maker with these ideas, I just know that the conversation with them would be short! If anything can demonstrate the beauty, quality, diversity of your work, it is these two pair of grips. They are as different as night and day, are completely custom in every way and could not have been obtained anywhere else at any price, yet, you made them both a reality. They also speak volumes as to what lenghts you are willing to go to please your customers. No one else would care enough to take the time or have the talent or resourses to produce something like this. Thank you ,my friend.

Haven't had time to drop you a line,but I got the grips on Wednesday.I put
the dragon grips on my stainless Kimber,and the maple on my blued Dan
Wesson... DAMN!!! Those grips are slick,they make the pistols look like
total custom jobs! Once again I couldn't be happier...thanks again!

John

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Ed, I got the ruger grips on today..and all I can say is that turned out fantastic!  I'm very pleased with the result.  The grips were very snug...almost couldn't get them on...then they slid on.  My roommates couldn't stop handling the gun when I showed it to them...eventually I had to order everyone out of the room so I could begin to get some work done.  Oh and I distributed some of your business cards to some potential future customers for ya:)  The coffin case is also quite attractive and well-built...the perfect carrying case for my super redhawk.  All in all I'm very satisfied with the job...but especially at your attention to detail and wanting nothing less than a 100% satisfied customer!
 
Sincerely,
 
James 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Ed,
 
I want you to know that I am very happy with the grips you created.  They are everything you predicted they would be.  Thanks!  You should be proud of what you produce.  You're a real artist and craftsman.

I actually stumbled across your website on AR15.com, after checking out your site out I knew I had to have a custom set for my Dan Wesson. After coming up with the "Hawaiian Tiki idol" idea Ed did everything possible to make what I was envisioning in my head a reality. Ed was also kind enough to upgrade my choice of wood for the grips. I was dead set on Hawaiian Koa but he suggested Desert Ironwood...let's just say I'm glad I listened! Anyway, the grips are spectacular and I'm proud to say that I own a set of Ed's creations.

Oh yeah, it's cool to be "un-tactical" sometimes! :-)

 As you know, Ed, I have been a dyed -in-the-wool Colt fan for many years, but, recently, I discovered Nighthawk Custom Pistols. One look and I immediately understood that Colts, Kimbers, Springfields and the like are akin to Dodges, Fords, and Chevys. Nothing wrong with them, many people own them and are justifibly proud of them, but I realized I was holding a Ferarri. (At roughly $2500.00 apiece they are priced like a Ferarri too) But are they worth it? OH YEAH! By the time the smoke cleared, between me and my checkbook, only one of us walked away. I had bought two Nighthawks and my wife and son had purchased a third for my birthday

 Now, I was faced with a dilema, how in the hell do you class up and customize a Ferarri?! The option was easy. The pistols come with standard double diamond cocobolo grips... oh wow.
 That's where you came in (again) In another of my flashes of inspiration I decided that I just had to have a silver logo to match the carving on my pair of Liberty boots set in a very rare and breathtaking wood...YEAH ...RIGHT!  But, I was to learn yet another lesson... don't ever underestimate the fantastic artistic ability of Ed Strange! You not only recreated the carving, but also added that artistic touch that created a look that money just can't buy. Thank you once again, my friend, you are the master.. or perhaps a magician. You certainly do work magic. This time I had to send a picture. You tell me.

Hey Ed: Came back to the office to find the package with the Damascus grips. Wow!!! They make a fine gun classier.  You have outdone yourself!!! I placed them on a 1911 Colt Classic Government size with deep blue finish. I will send you photos when I get a chance. By the way, I really appreciate the surprise of finding my name and set number inscribed on the back!!

 Hey Ed: Just received the Ebony skulls “voodoo” set. What can I say; they are everything I wanted, beautiful and unique. Only one problem, I am have a few guns competing to get them. From the lucky gun that gets them and I, thanks,

 Frank E. D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed

  I received my set today, and all I can say is WOW I am VERY impressed!!
You told me when we started this you could do a kick ass set of cobras. You
sure keep your word.I want to thank you and your team for the second effort
you put into this set to make it happen. Man are these cool bud!! Thanks again
and can't wait to do it again someday. In the next few days I will try to get
a pic of them on the gun and post it on the forum.

Thanks again
Dwayne

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you know, Ed, I have lost track of the number of grips I have purchased from you by now. With each new set I think "Now I have the ultimate grips from Ed. He will never be able to top these! Thet are just too beautiful and too unique!"
 I just received the silver feather grips you did for me, and I WILLBE DAMNED IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN! I can't say you are head and shoulders above your competition, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY! I can't even say these have to be the ultimate ( even though I think they are ) because, the damascus grips I ordered are on the way. So, I guess, I will just sat say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! and let it go at that.

 Ed,  your grips arrived today and are they stunning!  I left for lunch a hour early, went home and got my Sig and camera.  I’m not too skilled in the photo department and the sun wasn’t right but here it is anyway.

Great job!

 Ed,
 
  Received the grips this morning, couldn't be happier, you went way beyond my expectations and my expectations were extremely high to begin with.
 
GREAT JOB!!!!!!

Ed,

I received my grips today.  Thanks for the fast delivery, they look totally awesome.  They will be sitting on my late Granddad’s Colt Commander.  I now need to buy a few more 1911’s to go with some of your grips.

HI ED. GOT THE GRIPS TODAY.VERY NICE. THANK YOU.

ANDY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How are you Ed? I have my hands full over here after Wilma. However, wanted to take a moment and let you know that I received the grips. They are beautiful. The photos didn’t do justice to the quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Would love to visit your shop some day and see you in action.

Take care,

Frank E.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed,
 
I got the grips today.  Awesome job man.  They look beautiful.  The silver was better than I pictured it would be.  Very very cool.
 
My next set of grips is going to be a patriotic theme with a US flag and stuff like that :-).
 
Thanks again man!

 Dear Ed,
 
My grips just came.  They look great.  I can't wait to put them on my Springfield.  Thanks for everything.  I'll send you a digital picture when I get them on.  Outstanding job!  Have a great holiday.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed,
   Just wanted to let you know I got your grips for X-mas, and they're
awesome!  I've already showed them to some of my very envious friends. 
Thanks for all the help and correspondence.  Definitely a first class job. 
I'll probably be in touch down the road for another set, until then, take
care.

Thanks Again

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed,

I got the grips today...AWESOME. The grain on the wood is beautiful,and the
snakes really set off the scaling on my pistol. Another job well done by
Wicked Grips! My Dan Wesson and I thank you.

John

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed,
Got the grips today. Amazing brother, simply amazing.
I'll get some pics to you when my pistol comes in..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed,

I wanted to thank you for sending out those grips so promptly. I cannot express in words the artistry and craftsmanship that you put into these. I could not be more pleased. These are now, no doubt, the coolest set in Florida! The digital pictures you posted were beautiful, but the real deal in person far exceeds anyone’s expectations. I mounted them on my Colt Gold Cup Custom and they are awesome. I would send you a picture but my digital camera is not as good as yours – and you have so many already. Of course they fit perfectly.

 I have several other 1911 that I would love to adorn with such works of art. I will check your web site regularly and see what you have for immediate sale. If you want to send me an email to remind me (or others) that you posted new ones I would really appreciate it. Might be something to consider to start such a mail list.

 Thank you so much and looking forward to my next set! 

Regards,

Bruce N.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To All:
 
If you are thinking of putting the time and money into a set of custom grips by Ed, you will be nothing but %100 satisfied. The only thing that comes close to his artwork is his customer service.
 
Hopefully, the picture(s) do the Damascus Grips justice.
 
My Best,
Derek

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  They arrived Saturday, and let me just say they look and feel awesome! Exactly the way I wanted.
 
   Thank you, again.

Hi there.  Thanks again to you Ed and the Wicked Grips team for an amazing job.  I just wanted to send you a pic I took of the custom grips you all crafted installed on my Kimber Eclipse Target II...the overall effect is stunning.  Not only is the look truly breathtaking, but I've never held a gun with grips that felt as comfortable as these do.  Feel free to use the pic on your website if you are so inclined.  Thanks again for your hard work.

disappoint one bit!!!!  Great customer service and perfect craftsmanship on
your product....Thank you again for one happy customer!!!

Dear Ed and the Team at Wicked Grips,
I can't begin to thankyou enough for the fantastic job you did on the custom grips for my wife's Springfield!!!
The grips look amazing and have truely made her gun one of a kind. I was unable to find anyone here in Australia who could produce anything remotely close to the quality and looks Wicked Grips is famous for. You obviously spend a lot of time making sure the detail and quality is No#1 -ONLY THE BEST!!! And with the coffin case, it certainly commands attention at the range. But apart from the kick ass grips, your service was fantastic!! I often felt I was pestering you with questions and changing my mind, but nothing was a problem for you!! I can see why Wicked Grips is the only place to go to make your pistol one of a kind!!
Many Thanks again - I highly recomend your service's.

(Jeez... I could use more clients like this!)
Note to male Clients... I do NOT want pics of YOU posing with your gun... wives and girlfiends are OK though.. hehe

get what you pay for now days and I can say I am very impressed.Thanks again

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey!
 
Wanted to drop ya a line and say I am so impressed with your customer service! The case arrived literally 3 days after I placed my order, that's incredible! It's awesome as well, I sent it as a birthday present to my ex wife, and she just recieved it today and is in love! Thanks!
 
I'll be keeping an eye on your site, I have a Beretta 92FS and while I'm a low-key, non flashy kind of guy, a custom set of grips for it would kind of be cool. I have no idea what design, so I'm looking through your site and other places for ideas. If I come across something unique that screams "ME!" I'll let ya know!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings Ed:

Your grips arrived in the mail today and I wanted to let you know how pleased I am not only with the figure of the wood but your craftsmanship as well. Awesome! I can't wait to show them to Marianne Carniak. Thanks again for creating these beautiful 1911 grips for me.

Incidentally, any progress with the customized "Delta" medallions you mentioned in a previous email?

My hand in yours,

Alex

Its funny how little things like this make a grown man smile…….You made my day man.

Hello Ed,

Just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for the grips, I am very
impressed with the workmanship and quality of material, It was definitely
worth the wait.

Thanks Again,

Mason, California

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed,

Got the grips today (Monday) and all I can say is that the pictures did not
do them justice.  Fantastic job.  Thank you very much.  Your customer care
is top notch.  Good idea on sending the business card too.  Already had
several other deputies checking out your site after they saw the finished
project.  Don't be surprised if you get an order or two from this area.
Well, I should say an order or two more, because when I'm ready to get new
grips for my Kimber, I already knew who to call.

Thanks very much again.  And let your staff know how pleased we are with the
work all of you did.

Until my next order,
Shane

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi ed, i would like to take this time to thank you for the grips. they are beautiful. i knew they would be. you are truly and artist and a master at your craft. have a happy and healthy holiday, sincerely omar g.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Ed,

The Gunslinger Grips arrived today, and sweet Jesus! Definitely worth the wait. What can I say, this year christmas truly came early to Tampere, heh-heh. I took some photos for you with the grips on the Springfield. I only had the camera from my cell phone available so I'm sorry if the pic quality is low. Now I just need to find me some better screws for attaching these babies, because the old ones from the prior grips had really poor quality.

You can absolutely use me as a reference on your testimonials section. You managed to have the time to answer my questions all the time and I just can't stop looking at these grips, man! I just cant buy another 1911 anymore without Wicked Grips.

P.S. I already started "something big" here in Finland by posting couple of pics to some shooting forum. I just checked some comments and it seems you might get some new orders from Finland soon =)

Million thanks Ed, these grips were worth every penny and they truly made my Springfield MY Springfield.

Best Always,

Jani Ojala, Tampere, Finland

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The grips arrived and they are awesome.  I took them over and gave them to Don.  He was very impressed with the work and they fit the gun like a glove.  I appreciate all the work that you put into making them.  I have not seen a better looking set of grips and to be able to personalize them is even better.  The only problem with them is I want a pair for myself!  I will contact you after the holidays about ordering some for myself.  I am presently thinking of some ideas for design.  Talk to you soon.
steve

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed,
 
I have to say the grips are better in person then picture. I got home from the range with my new springfield 1911A1 the post lady just drop them off. I was very happy with design and work.

I was and am extremely excited by the grips you formed for my Kimber 45 ACP CCW gun. It was a gift from a close personal friend Dr, Steve Lawson who ordered these grips to honor my almost 40 years of Federal service(22 years with the U.S. Army and the rest supporting the troops on the civilian side. I've looked at a lot of custom grips but have never seen anything as beautiful as the 444 grips. Steve tells me it's all in my head but it even shoots better and feels better in my hand. I carry this gun daily and I thank Steve for the honor of these grips and I thank you for your artistic craftsmanship. Donald R. Hohman CWO(Ret) former Iranian POW November 4, 1979-January 20 1981.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed,
I am beyond happy with these new grips! They look incredible on my Kimber .45. I have enclosed some pictures, I'm not much of a photographer but if you want to post a pic or two on your website I would be honored. Once again thank you, and be sure that your grips will be on all my future guns!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed,
 
I love the grips, they are perfect and better than I could have imagined. I will be contacting you shorty for our next project which will be for my other unfired Colt series 70 Government model. I am thinking of another setup and will email you shortly with the details. Thanks

Hi Ed,

Two sets of your grips, 485 and 476, were received this past Saturday. I just wanted to thank you and say that I am more than delighted. Both look even better than in the photos, the workmanship is outstanding, fit was perfect too. Now I know that I must acquire some more of your work, so I will be checking your “for sale” category very often, particularly for more ironwood like set 489, the next pair in a full size with ambi maybe a bobtail or magwell base this time. Thanks again,

Ed,

Thank you for the awesome grips. They are  the best part on my beloved LW Commander........... eyecatching for certain and they are perfectly fitted.

This is my daily carry pistol and she now looks deadly and beautiful.

Many, many thanks. The grips are beyond what I expected.

I have other 1911s that need an upgrade. Expect another order from me soon.

Best regards,

Andrew Garrett

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed:
 
I just received my new grips and they are absolutely awesome!  The fit and finish is perfect and your customer service is second to none!  I had intended to install these grips on a gun that doesn't see too much action, but quickly decided they are too nice to keep hidden away in storage.  I look forward to doing business with you again!  Wicked Grips Rocks!!!

Gentlemen,
I received the grips today.  I hope you took pictures for your website,
these are awesome!!!

I expected excellence, but you have exceeded even my high expectations.
I have not seen anything like this anywhere, ever.  I think I will cry.

Sincerely,

Tom F.

 Hello Ed.

I just received my blue "Tlaloc grips" yesterday.
What could I say?

WAOW!!! Great job!
That's a very good work!
Better than all I had hope!
THANK YOU (and your team).
More words soon, with some pictures of my old 1911 when it will be ready.
(An I will order you another custom grips next, for sure).

I just open my mail box and to my suprise I saw that my grips have arrived and what a set they are. The photos do not do it justice. I cannot wait to order the set with the Dragon insert, I am sure they will look just a beautiful as the set I have now. Thank you for the quick shippment.

 Ed, on reading thru all the comments, I was very impressed with what everyone said about you, and your company. Bottom Line--it's all true, the Outlaw grips are stunning, and truley a work of art. I tried for an hour, with a dig. camera, and computer--to get the pictures to look as good as the actual grips--I can't. Here is the best I can do. Thank's for puttin' up with me changing my mind so many times, and then buying the already made grips. Beautiful. Vince A.

Ed,
 
   My friend purchased a set of the Desert Ironwood grips for me as a Christmas gift. I have to say that they are even more impressive in person. I love 'em!! My only problem is that I don't want to put them on my S/S carry gun, just to get them beat up. I plan on engraving a blued Govt. model to use as a show piece and will be sure to put them on it. I'll send pics when I manage to get it done. Also, I would like to add your site to my links page if it's o.k. with you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Thank you for putting out such a great product.
 
Sincerely,

 Ed, I received the grips yesterday.  They look great!  They are perfect in everyway.  I really appreciate you getting them done so quickly.  I can't wait to present the revolver to Rob at his retirement party.

Ed, I want to say that I am extremely impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of the grips you guys made for me! They looks exactly as I was hoping they would. If you would like I can send you a picture with them fitted on my 1911, cause it seriously looks bad ass! thanks again! Lars P.S it was way worth the wait!

Hi Ed,

 

Grips arrived today.  They look and feel even better than they do on the website.  Now the gun finish doesn’t look up to snuff ;)

Thanks again (and thanks for the hat!).

Hey Ed,

They arrived in the mail today and are absolutely beautiful. I don't think I could have ever found another set that would look as good or make me feel so proud. I cannot thank you enough for all your assistance. I think I'll take it to work to show off before I have to send it to Garthwaite's later this month. :) Thank you again, your customer service and product is beyond top notch. If (read: when) I buy another 1911, I won't waste money on factory grips I assure you!

Regards,
James K.

 Hey Ed,  Received my Ebony Skull head grips Thursday 4/3 put them on and they sure dress up that pistola.  Thanks, they're beautiful - now I need to put some money aside so Gemini Customs can make me a one of a kind beauty!

Ed; I just received my case and want to let you know that it is everything you advertised it to be. First Rate  If they were doing the rating thing with stars like so many of the big operations do I'd rate you five out of five. It's nice to find someone that does business the way it used to be done. Just as soon as I can make up my mind on which grips I want I'll be in touch.

Comments: I just got my new grips (desert ironwood) and of course they the shit. I can't wait to show them off. You guys turn out something increasingly rare these days...a quality product.

I just took delivery of a set of beautiful "wicked" grips in reddish pink wood you made for me . When I showed them off on my Springfield TRP at my local firing range, the response was " where the hell did you get those beautiful grips on your 1911?" Please let me know when you will have more grips for sale (especially in the dark brown variety.) In addition, would it be possible to produce a set of grips with my initials on them... say on your unique "Damascus" grips ? Thanks for providing an old soldier with "something special" for his favorite 1911's. Jim D. Capt. USA ( ret.) PS I gave them your web site
