I remember taking a tour of his workshop years ago when I wanted a hardball 1911 built.
I didn't know him well but I remember seeing his smiling face at the range in his slippers and shooting.
From Bullseye L:
He passed away on Monday 22 August 2022. His service will be at Hosoi Mortuary, Honolulu, Hawaii at 4pm 25 September 2022.

Damn. Sad day and loss of a legend. Will miss seeing him around the range, gun show, etc.

I befriended Ed over 40 years ago. At that time, I was helping new shooters get into action shooting so I would reload some ammo for people who needed some.
Ed was bringing in hard-cast bullets by the pallet for the bullseye shootin' club, so I would go up to his house and pick up bullets and chat about this n' that.
For a while, he had a lace-neck dove flying around his workshop because it was injured, and he nursed it back to health. :rofl:
He worked on some of my pistols and one of them is my standard range gun to this day.

I don't think I ever met him. Can someone post about him?
I found out he is my friends grandfather. We played baseball for the Oda's together (LLWS coaches). The team mom was Ed's daughter.

I remember that dove. It became Ed's pet.
I also bought cast bullets from Ed. The price was right and for years I did not cast pistol bullets.
In the early 90's Ed gave testimony against a bill that would out law guns like the ar15 because it
could be mistaken for an M16. He said: "If we are going to ban something because it looks like something
bad, well then I better not associate with COP Boise Correa because he look like Sadam Hussein."
The auditorium erupted and even Boise Correa was laughing. Ed more than made his point to the
law makers. The bill did not pass. Ed will be missed.
Mahalo for jogging my memory OF.

I remember Ed at the HK meeting when Dave Knudsen and his comrades presented a whole cartridge from the Kokohead illegal trail and said that it was a ricochet. Ed called him a liar in front of everyone. :rofl:
-
Wow, sounds like Ed was a boss. These are the stories that my gun ownership generation doesn't know about.

I never had the honor of meeting the man.
But Ed Masaki was Legen…(wait for it)….dary.
Nationally.
