SHOOTING GALLERY EPISODE #100

Wilson Combat
Premieres April 2, 2008
Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat has quite literally changed the world of guns. His custom 1911
pistols are considered both the state of the art and art in and of themselves, and Wilson Combat
parts are acknowledged as the best in the world. This year Wison Combat celebrates its 30th
Anniversary, and host Michael Bane, who co-wrote with Bill Wilson his landmark book on the
1911 25 years ago, visits to see how it has all changed. More info... (http://www.downrange.tv/shootinggallery/episode100.htm)

I think I already saw that one....it was good.  I had no idea such talent was just across the state line in Arkansas!

Sure was a great show but should have been longer.  The thirty minutes was up before I knew it.

Bill Wilson shows his favorite gun:  a CQB compact.  I want to know if it has a steel or aluminum frame.

I don't remember the type of frame the compact model shown, but the CQP can be made with either

Stainless Steel
Light Wt. Aluminum
or
Carbon Steel frame:

The CQB Compact was my first true conceal carry and IDPA gun. Best shooting handgun I've ever owned (except maybe my 1972 Llama IIIA .380, seriously).

It's a treat, watching Bill shoot a Bill Drill, but I can only see it on DRTV.  Between this teaser and Michael's 100th Episode Retrospective on DR Radio, I'm seething! 

I intensely want to watch Shooting Gallery, but I don't live in a market where it's broadcast.  What would it take for you to offer it on DVD? 

All eight seasons, boxed, would be dandy!  But if I could pick only one to see and keep, it would be the interview with Jeff Cooper.  My own interviews at The Sconce went unrecorded, and yours might as well have gone unrecorded too - IF it's not available to view.
