Good idea on waiting a year at least. I do enjoy standing on the line with this gun as well as mu other Bakers. She really does me proud as well. The shooters that know me and that is most of them locally have all kind of come to see what I am shooting now. They all know I have this Baker fetish. Though most, if any have never heard of them. Then again, I am shooting against guns that are, well new guns. You know "Brwonings","Beretta","K",etc. guns. Good guns also, I just love the old guns. Isn't all about the fun anyhow?
