When was the last time you met an honest-to-goodness gunsmith? Not a gunslinger, not a kid with a Daisy air-pump, not a poser thug with an over-sized weapon he doesn’t know how to use, but a real person who actually makes a real gun. From scratch. By hand. Behold, the guy behind 10-8 Performance:
Hilton Yam, owner of 10-8 Performance, is a full time law enforcement officer in Florida with extensive experience working robbery and violent fugitives. He is currently assigned to firearms training and SWAT, duties in which he oversees the expenditure of almost half a million rounds per year. He is a team leader as well as the lead instructor for his team, responsible for providing training in firearms, CQB, rappelling, defensive tactics, and team tactics. Hilton is also responsible for RDT&E of equipment. He carries a 1911 every day on duty, and has spent a great deal of time examining what makes the guns succeed and fail. 10-8 Performance is a family owned and family run small business. All 10-8 sights and components are proudly made in the USA.
