I can tell you a good part of what is wrong w/ the CA SxS Society is that they are hidden. Incommunicado. I tried several times to contact them and got zip back. If you actually want new members perhaps you should go out looking for them instead of hoping they'll find some mystery door and stumble in. Making yourself known in the market place by being seen somewhere that OTHER shooters visit would be a good start.
" You will likely see someone with a Perrazi or other high end gun looking for a spring or changing to his other trigger while the majority of shooters will be plugging along shooting their production berettas or Brownings. "
Simple BS nothing less. The problems I've observed, but never experienced, with Perazzis were meathead owners. The guns I have are a trouble free as can be. But then, I take care of them in a proper fashion.
