Yup, saw that over on Lee's website........ I really wasn't familiar with him or his work.
Apparently he died doing what he loved.
RIP Mark Hampton

Mark wrote some books,, and was a columnist for American Handgunner. He spent much of his life pursuing game all over the world,, and only using handguns. Plus,, due to the various countries & their weird gun laws,, often,, he'd use a single-shot Contender or Encore to hunt with. A inventive way to get around many weird gun laws.

Many may have never heard of him,, but dedicated handgun hunters knew him.
