v, [1], 234 pages. Oversized book, measuring 11 inches by 8-1/2 inches. Illustrations. Magazines and Parts Price List effective January 1, 2010 laid in (12 pages). Cover has some wear and soiling and a small tear at bottom of the spine. This book was developed as the result of a need for a central reference of autoloading pistols. This 16th edition is the most complete and detailed edition to date. Includes drawing and technical data on numerous weapons. Triple K is proud to have grown over the last 30 years to be the largest producer of obsolete pistol magazines in the world, with well over one million magazines produced. Herman Krasne and his son Leo started doing business in San Diego in 1946. They began in business as an inexpensive department store using the name of Krasne's Incorporated. The business went well and the Krasne family developed a name for being fair minded, honest business men that treated their customers right. Leo welcomed his son Jerry into the business in 1952. Jerry expanded the department store to include sporting goods. In 1963, Jerry started Triple K Manufacturing Company. He named it after his three children, Kim, Kurt and Karen. After-market replacement magazines were the company's main focus. Soon after, Jerry introduced the Triple K leather product line. Through hard work and acquisitions, the product line continued to grow, always striving to make quality products at affordable prices. In the years that followed, Triple K focused on producing handmade quality products at reasonable prices. By chance, the original business was located down the street from the San Diego Police Department. Over the years, the Krasne family became ardent supporters of Law Enforcement everywhere. Triple K introduced a law enforcement product line which has grown steadily over the years. The 1980's marked the sale of the retail side of the business , the entry of Jerry's son Kurt into the business, and the moving of the manufacturing business to a newer and larger building. The 1990's marked another decade highlighted by acquisitions and improvements in manufacturing technology. Triple K Manufacturing Company is now in it's fourth generation of family ownership. The company is divided into two specialties, leather products and replacement magazines. Leather production includes police equipment, shooting sports accessories, cowboy shooting accessories and other related products. OEM products are made for other manufacturers using their own designs and identification. Triple K magazine production includes the largest variety of magazines for obsolete pistols and rifles from around the world, as well as many current production guns. Their encyclopedia is a standard reference book in many gun shops around the world. Triple K also manufactures magazines on an OEM basis for new guns on the market. In November of 2013, Triple K acquired Vintage Gun Grips of Florida and moved the production of vintage grips, buttplates and other plastic parts to our facility in San Diego. They plan to continue the legacy of being the world's leader in supply and production of quality hard to find vintage grips and buttplates. …
