| Yeah, can I get a Witness? (In fact, I own two and I like them both) |

"Tamara insists the "!" must be pronounced."
As it's part of their trademark, yes (Much like the "!" in "Yahoo!" as well). :D
The correct pronunciation for both words is an exclamation with a slight lift of the heels, as if you were goosed in the midst of saying "Blackhawk!" (although regional accents vary this slightly...).
I thought it was pronounced "Blackhawk(bang)"
So, Clyde had a Fitz Special?
Sure glad to finally meet you and Tam! Like I said, you need to pick my Brain, just send me an eMail, and I'll do my best to help.
I thought it was pronounced
"Blackhawk [BANG]"
Since the stuff they make has something to do with gunpowder, you should be yelling the bang part

Great pics, thanks for putting them up! :-) And that does look like a Fitz Special, I wonder if it's a real one, or a copy...
I wonder, D.W and NFO -- you'd'a thunk they'd've mentioned it if it was.
Bubblehead Les, a delight to meet you!
I always pronounced it "Blackhaaawkk!" so as to integrate the "!" YMMV.
In the same vein John Phillip Sousa insisted on the ! in the title of Stars And Stripes Forever!
Re: Browning High Power. Now THAT'S a bluing job. Puts my worn parkerizing finish to shame.
I told my daughter as we walked past the BLACKHAWK! booth that I always feel like I need to shout it.
That's a funny shot of Oleg.
I like to pronounce "BLACKHAWK!" with a sort of jazz-hands-open-palms-waggling-beside-the-face gesture.
I always hear GLOCK and RECOIL and the like as shouted in my head, usually with various accents.
