I remember him from the mid 90s when I first got into shooting. He loved HKs and couldn't speak enough about them. He had a newsletter. Wonder what happened to him? I heard that he ran his business in Waikiki?

I bought stuff from him.
My coworker used to help him at the gun shows.
He died.
He worked out of his cluttered apartment at Century center.
Not to be confused with Century Square.
Very knowledgeable. Very eccentric.

He had a lot of knowledge of the H&K products. I bought a few items from him.

On a side note I saw a guy named Warren Katz on local tv. He has a Texas style BBQ food truck.
It kinda looked like the same Katz that ran LGS the Armory but I am not sure if it was him.

I found the story on Island Smokehouse bbq.
It was a KHON food to go interview from January 11.
It sure looks like Katz.
I heard he got busted for selling illegal steroids, or something like that.

I'm still in touch with Myles who used to work for Katz about 40 yrs ago.
He moved to TX.

Myles is a fun guy. He has so many amazing experiences and stories. I hope he is doing well in Texas.
I will miss Myles.

When Warren had his going out of business sale I got a lot of stuff on the cheap. He was really so nice
and helpful.

Myles surely has a sense of humor. When the covid thing happened, he sent me the drive through anal swab test picture.

That sure is Warren Katz, https://www.khon2.com/wake-up-2day/food-2go/food-2go-island-smoke-house-bbq/

I recall shopping at the Armory in Wahiawa back in the late 80s/90s and it wasn't a pleasant experience. Katz acted like I was bothering him when I was the only person in the store. I asked for an extra Lee turret and he said he didn't have one in stock. He then pulled it from the display and I was happy at that moment. He then throws it hard on the counter like he was angry. I guess rounds reloaded with that thing sure lost some accuracy. I asked him another question and he responded, "I don't know. I just own the f_ _ _ ing place." I never returned to the Wahiawa store after that.

He then moved to Kakaako where he had a going out of business sale. Items were more costly than expected. It seems like his big discount percentage must have applied to just the first dollar worth of merchandise. I, like many, did not miss him or his bad attitude.

Check out the reviews on Yelp for Island Smokehouse BBQ. I guess some people never really change.

I wanna try Texas808 bbq. Anybody try that place?

Oh BTW Ren, why the interest in Gendel???

Very eccentric.

HK people are like that...

Yes I remember him. Never met him but had a few phone conversations with him. I still have some papers he emailed me with HK info etc. If I'm not mistaking he was an authorized HK dealer and if you purchased an HK from him you would get a course with Masaad Ayoob ? Anyone else can confirm on this ?

I spent $60 on a rib. Yes, singular. And never have rice, mac n cheese, etc...only slaw. Not worth it IMO.

All the meats are by the lbs, so we ended up getting some brisket also and the bill for 2 people was $95.  And still had no sides, so went home at cooked rice.
