Marianne Carniak of the Accurizer Gunshop

The following pistols are either the work of Marianne Carniak of the Accurizer Gunshop in Troy, MI or she fixed things that were wrong with them. Forgive me for this post but Marianne Carniak is among my favorite people and that says a lot, as I liked her dad, Russ Carniak. Regards, Richard

Ms.Carniak

I remember being in Russ's basement shop when he was putting some finishing touches on my Delta and the next thing he's doing is showing us some vintage '70 series,unfired in the boxes.45's, 38 Super's but no 9's(I think he didn't like 9's) and I'm just drooling more and more and someone had to politely ask are there any more? and then he pulls out some Combat Commanders and Commander models also unfired and I'm saying to myself,yep this guy's the real deal,everything I'd heard of him and more was true.My only regret was that my encounter with him was not longer.Nice to see his work is being carried on through his daughter.She has an infectuous smile in that pic and is certainly a rarity in the shooting sports not to mention handguns.I think of Russ everytime I handle my Delta.

She does have a lovely smile and a genuine one too judging by the snapshot. It is surprising in a good way to see a woman in the gunsmith profession.
