    Just a heads up. We will now be closed on Mondays until we resolve staffing issues.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    I'm sure the staff will appreciate having a two day weekend! Thanks for letting us know.

    I'm sorry to hear about your staffing shortage Dan. I hope you find a good person soon.

    When do you expect to get the Staccato CS available for MD residents? I will be making a beeline for your door when they come in! The C2 I bought from you is terrific so I am keen to compare it to the CS.

    Thanks, Penn. I hope we do too.

    They should hit the roster at the next update around the beginning of May.

    Thanks Dan, I'll definitely see you in early May, if not sooner.

    You should come sooner. I've got a Wilson Combat EDC X9 with your name on it

    I bet it's AMAZING but $3200 is steep! Then again, I've got about twice that invested in handguns in the safe.
    Yes, it's relatively expensive. And not for everybody. Some folks are quite content with a used Saturn and wouldn't appreciate the craftsmanship of a new Mercedes. Both cars will get you from point A to point B. The major difference IMHO is how we feel about the process of getting there. A competent marksman can shoot as well with a much less expensive gun. But I think that these guns seek to satisfy another level of the shooting experience. Ego, perhaps.

    Unlike a Glock, a hand fitted gun like the Wilson benefits from a break-in period. It took mine about 50 rounds before the action felt 'right'. I experienced one failure to feed in the first magazine, but accuracy, the trigger and overall smoothness have settled in to what I consider a level of perfection that makes me very satisfied with the pistol. Now, with close to 1k rounds through it, it's as smooth as butter and capable of driving tacks in the hands of a better marksman than I am.

    You're making me want to drive to Maryland Elite Firearms.

    I may just stop in to see what it feels like! Especially after the testimonial from Mr. Ed. But I need to save up for the Staccato CS. It is going to be a bit less expensive as well.

    Patiently waiting on Staccato CS. Dan and staff have always treated me will. I hope you find someone good soon Dan.
    I've got 40 or so on order. Unfortunately, they won't all come in at the same time. I'll order more as necessary. And of course I'll take care of everyone.
