Unfortunately, or fortunately, for me my wife likes to shoot. She would know if another gun surfaced in our home. I would not like to count on her being oblivious.

Thanks.

I am not sure what would have to breed with what to produce a Wilson. I do believe that they are probably inbred (pure bred?). Better keep the safe door locked tight.

Default Cleaned and reassembled

Had the chance to disassemby, clean (frog lube) and reassembly my gold cup. I also soaked the grips in olive oil for two hours. I could not find a ding, or serious idiot mark on the whole gun. I do need to replace a grip bushing, (already ordered from Brownells) before I try out Sarge's grips. Next week, we'll visit the range (weather permitting).
