Jerry Ahern RIP

[jamstutz]

There are a couple threads on the board right now that contain some quite good SHTF stories, but I wonder how many of you remember the old Survivalist series of books written by Jerry Ahern?

Jerry wrote quite a large number of fiction books, but he also wrote a considerable number of magazine articles during the 80's and 90's for various gun magazines dealing primarily with concealment holsters and his favorite handgun, the Detonics Combat Master. Jerry, in fact, acted as President of the restored Detonics Corporation from 2004 - 2007.

Jerry passed away Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at his home in Jefferson, GA at the age of 66 after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer.

I remember the name well. Read a number of his article's back in the day.

I wonder if melensdad , being a connoisseur of the Detonics brand is aware of this?

Sad to hear. I rather liked some of his books, back in the day. He was a pretty good writer.

Jerry Ahern has an article in this month's SWAT magazine about the UZI carbine. He was a good writer and is going to be missed. RIP...

Jerry Ahern has passed....

Just saw on 1911Forum that gunwriter Jerry Ahern has died. He was the concealed carry columnist for Gun World magazine and had quite a few articles in other gun rags. He was a big Detonics fan and authored a series of "Survivalist" books where the main character carried those pistols.
