Ray Ordorica, current American Gunsmith contributor and former editor of Gun Digest’s annual Handguns Illustrated, has a number of books worth checking out.
His newest, Border Caper (Rico Morgan Book 1) is an adventure novel and Alaskan Retreater’s Notebook: One Man’s Journey into the Alaskan Wilderness is his personal real-life adventure.
