I am not sure how you think the CA SxS society is hiding. Did you ever try contacting anyone who was listed as a section president or organizer from the web site? For several years I ran the website and alway had the head of each chapter listed. I am sorry you feel that way.
If your in Nor Cal, you should have emailed Larry Shelton. He was our chapter president for years and was very supportive of all members and the club in general. You may know him from his book on Clabrough shotguns. If you don't have any hard feelings, pm me and I can put you in touch with the current chapter president who is the president of our statewide organization. I am sure we would love to have you come and join us. Because I am in Fresno and most of the shoots are in the Sacramento area, I don't get to as many shoots as I used to. I am a bit too busy at this point in my life. The Northern chapter has monthly shoots except during the hunting season. We also have a few hunts too, along with black powder and or muzzleloader events.
Re the Perazzi, I did not mean to offend you or any Perazzi owner. It was just a passing comment, more to make the point how reliable the production guns like a Browning and a Beretta are especially considering the cost difference... but come on, if Perazzi's are so reliable, why do they sell you two triggers? LOL
I have friends who are very big into competitive shooting and they have all tried many different high end guns with mixed results. And like many competitive shooters, some are constantly changing guns thinking it will give them an advantage. Speaking of mixed results, how about things like a Kreighoff receiver cracking! (They did replace the receiver for free and my friend WASN'T the original owner.) Maybe the real reason is as Buzz says...High performance, high maintenance.
Keep shooting and make sure your smiling when you do.

Oh btw, for years I posted on this website when we had our all statewide gathering/shoot.... I never received ONE comment or message from anyone here.
