William Henry Jordan (1911-1997) was an American lawman, United States Marine and author. 30 years with the United States Border Patrol. Served with the United States Marine Corps Reserve during World War II and the Korean War. He retired from the Marine Reserve as a colonel. Credited with developing the 'Jordan' or 'Border Patrol' style of holster. He also collaborated with Walter Roper in the design of wooden grips intended for heavy-calibre double-action revolvers, which are now made by Herrett's Stocks as the "Jordan Trooper". In 1963, Jordan assisted Elmer Keith and Skeeter Skelton in development of the .41 Magnum.

Damn... his hands are so big, he makes that big S&W N-Frame look like a diminutive J-Frame! Love his humor in this video, what showmanship.

As a student at Trinidad State Junior College in the late 70 ties I got the chance to see this man in action. WOW. That man was quick. He was also a very nice guy.

Nice. A icon from my youth. Had a autographed copy of his book but it was lost in a fire (along with quite a few firearms). No one got hurt so you gotta count your blessings.

I had the great pleasure of working with Mr. Jorhan for a few days in 1967. I remember as if it were yesterday:. He said: "The other guy didn't come to fight. He doesn't expect you to fight. That's your advantage." My very first lesson in mindset.
@WeaponsAffair
@WeaponsAffair 5 месяцев назад
I wish I could've met the man. He told you the truth. As a defender, the main advantage is found in a decisive mindset. The proper elimination of hesitation, is achieved only through a clarity of purpose and righteous action, previously envisioned and executed in the mind.

Bill Jordan’s most famous shot was in his office. With a then new S&W 357 magnum revolver he had an accidental discharge that went through his filing cabinet, through an office wall and past the head of another Border Patrol officer. I knew the officer that he shared his office with.

I've heard this story from his days at Chula Vista BP office. In some of the many versions I read, the officer was struck in the head and killed. Glad to hear, and hopeful your version is correct, as it doesn't result in someone being unalived by Bill.

Shooting those squib loads near the hand of the blonde lady is bizarre by modern gun safety standards.
@WeaponsAffair
@WeaponsAffair 5 месяцев назад
True. But oddly wholesome. Totally unacceptable in today's media. The modern standard is "safe" but brutal and horrificly graphic depictions of violence and gore that would have been beyond an x rating back then.
