RangerTrace Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Back in January I started working with Wilson Combat on a group pistol purchase for the Rangers. The pistol markings took several months to come together and we started placing orders in July or so. I placed my order (for a light weight Professional in 38 Super) which shipped on Wednesday night. OK, it should be here on Thursday......right? Its always overnight shipping on guns, right!! WRONG!! I tracked my package and learned from WC that UPS now allows them to use 2 day shipping. So, now its Friday and the long awaited day has come!!!! I mope around town all day, waiting for the call from my FFL. After the usual time passes, I check the tracking number and learn the shipment was delayed and won't be here until Monday. I know it is the weather but it still makes me sick!! Does this sound familiar Sethmark!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atbarr Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I tracked my package and learned from WC that UPS now allows them to use 2 day shipping. Sorry about this. Do you want to bet, if you need to return the gun, that UPS will make you use next day air? Stay Safe, A.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atbarr Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 UPS not delivering on Saturdays is one of the great tragedies of waiting for guns/parts in the mail. UPS will deliver on Saturday for an additional $10.00. Follow the $$. A.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I finally got to pick it up today. It is everything that I asked for and expected. It is not very racey, but perfect for my daily carry/duty gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Thanks for all of the compliments!! I am very happy to finally have it and can hardly wait to shoot it. The weather has been real crappy here for the last several days. I may just have to wait until next week to qualify with it. This is my second Wilson and I have been impressed with their work. I would like to see what they could do with an STI based pistol. They offered to build me one if I would send them a frame/slide but I just can't afford that build right now.
