Sieg ---

This is the other Caesar Guerini I am interested in:

I believe this is the gun available but with case hardened receiver and upgraded oil finished lumber. Not sure on adjustable comb stock or rib options.

This receiver without the gold.

I would consider their DTS trigger system valuable due to the length of pull adjustment which is standard on the Summit Ascent model.

Quote:

New DTS trigger system with two trigger pull weight options, take up, over travel, and length of pull adjustments. Factory selective release triggers available in single and double release.

Hey Sieg -- thanks for the input and the call the other day!

I ended up driving to Boise - a gun shop there - Boise Gun Company... it was only a 5 hour round trip and I had nothing better to do. They are Caesar Guerini dealers -- and get this -- the owner told me they had 6200 guns IN STOCK!! Trust me -- this is one heck of a gun shop. I've never been in one that was so packed -- with guns AND customers! WOW!

Anyway -- he had a CG Challenger Impact 12 ga in stock --- it's an absolutely beautiful shotgun -- heirloom quality stuff -- so I bought that.... AND the coupe d gras..... I casually ask him if he ever gets any Wilson Combat stuff in.... OH YEAH he says with wild looking eyes! I got one last week! Out of 6200 guns he has ONE Wilson Combat in. It is the Professional --- 4" barrel --- .45ACP... all black... and yes, that's mine as well.

Sadly -- they had to send it to Seattle to a FFL dealer because while I have Washington and Utah CC --- that won't get ya a handgun in EyedeeHo. I'm dying to shoot this bad boy!

Late to the show here.........the rib on that Challenger is going to be a little tall for you isn't it?

When you're passing through we should take a "range break" at the Baron's Den on I-5.

I'm envious of that Wilson Combat! Never shot one, but have always wanted to see if they live up to the hype. Hope you'll share a review once you get a chance to put a few rounds through it.

Congrats

Some day I will have a Wilson Combat myself. Have a Les Baer PII and a SA Trophy Match, both nice 1911's that make me look good at the range. Personal protection is a Glock 19 and a Mossberg 12 gauge.

Ditto on both.. you're a big dude so I am kinda surprised the G19 fits your hand unless you have a mag extender?

Hopefully you have an "assault" rifle too as backup.

Yes, I have an "evil black rifle"............

I did add a different mag baseplate a week ago to get the extra finger support, but it fit me great as-is. Don't have fat fingers.

I know this is a little late and probably has been mentioned before, but it is very important that:

The best defense weapon for anyone is the one that has become a natural extention of your mind, arms, and hands.

Be it a 50 BMG, or a baseball bat, just be proficent!

1. Join the NRA- in addition to supporting the 2nd amendment, membership also gives you liability insurence when dealing with specific shooting groups.

2) Join the "USPSA", and learn to shoot correctly.

If you have not been trained the methods and grips etc., I promise, you do not know how to hold and shoot your gun correctly.

Be open to learning what they teach. Girls usually follow instructions bettter than guys, because guys think they already know everything. Be humble and courteous and you will receive a top of the line FREE education.

People are very friendly and want to help other become better shooters. One word of advice, Be aware of where your muzzle is pointed "ALL THE TIME", loaded or unloaded. They do not put up with people who are careless with their firearms.

Basically tell someone that you are new and you need to go to the "Safe Area". This is a place designated at every meeting. Make sure your gun is unloaded,in a bag or a holster, however you MUST have a holster.

Un-load the gun if loaded, Lower the hammer, or in the case of glocks and other similar pistols, pull the trigger with an unloaded gun. This is considered "Hammer Down". At any of these gatherings there is a safe place are designated, that is the ONLY PLACE you can handle and take your fire arm out of it's holster without being directed by a range officer.

This is also the practice with the IDPA that is a somewhat similar organization listed below.

The finest shooters in the world are found in the USPSA. It can be intimidating to shoot with them at time because you suck so bad. Don't worry, you will suck less with time and practice.

3. Join the IDPA: These are a group of very proficient shooters that are focused strickly on self defense in real life senarios. It is totally different than the USPSA, in this respect.

It would be my recomendation for everyone who hasn't been taught the right way to shoot. (I really mean this!)

http://www.idpa.com

All of you who have guns, please join the NRA and at least your local IDPA, or USPSA group, and shoot all the time.

I am totally serious, you will be amazed at how bad you are without their traing methods, and practice.

They might be intimidating, but hang in their and you will have a great time. In the off chance you meet a jerk, *They exist in all clubs) please meet a lot of people so you can find who you feel the most comfortable with.

Anyone else who has shot with any of these groups, give me your validation.

Join the NRA regardless. Use the two organizations above to get involved with shooting.

Take care,
