Larry Seecamp from CT - a humble highly
intellectual man with a big heart passed on 7/15/18 - hours after
several humorous and political conservative FB postings.
Larry and his
deceased father were the gun inventors and makers of the famous Seecamp
pistols in .25, .32, and .380 calibers - known as the Rolex of small
handguns and used by law enforcement for duty gun backup, and the
general public for easily hidden self defense. The Seecamp Company was
small with only 7 employed highly skilled gunsmiths. Because of all the
precision handwork involved, and high demand, Seecamp pistols were
hard to get and in great demand. For years an order took about 2 years
to fill. In fact one could resell the pistol after delivery for four
times the purchase price. Now days a fast delivery.
Because he was so
concerned about his customers having to wait for their pistol orders
Larry himself only used a Seecamp reject for his personal gun. Some of
us bought him one of his own guns with his dad's name as a SS# but he
kept it unused in his safe because it meant a lot to him and he did not
want to scratch it up. Many famous people who bought Seecamp pistols
knew Larry and their photos cover the walls of the shop. His pistols
are used for easily hidden self defense and have saved the lives of
"many" over the years.
Several years ago Larry sold the company and now
Seecamp handguns are made in Massachusetts. Larry's lifestyle was also
humble - with a love for music and song. He worked mostly 7 twelve
hour days, drove an old car, and got many of his clothes at used
resellers. A HUGE thanks to those who have personally helped Larry these
past months.
