Did anyone get any shiny new guns for Christmas? Not me, I guess I was naughty.

No guns but, gun accessories. I got an Insight Technologies combo light/laser for the rail on my Taurus 24/7. Don't have it yet but, it is on order. Should be here next week.
Sure did,
Deacon Jim sold me a RI Compact the day he opened.
That's my Christmas present for the next 3 years.

Not me, got one of those Dell 10.5" laptops. My neighbor got a Smith & Wesson Walther 9mm. Not a bad looking gun. He also got about 5 boxes of ammo. I guess I am going to have to have my wife start hanging out with his wife a little bit more!:D

How do you like it Sam? I think someone else bought one of those, or something similar here recently. That is one he had in stock? I'll have to stop in soon...

Yeah I think his wife would be a great influence! Is your neighbor going to let you try it out?

Technically I did get a gun for Christmas. About a month ago I got a double barrel 12-gage, and my wife said it was my Christmas present for the next 10 years. I do love that shotgun...
Oh, and I got some ammo (which I can always use), a neat pistol case and some 1911 magazines. It was a great Christmas! We even went shooting with my son.

I'm that someone else. I got the RI compact and the wife got a Taurus PT111. Not a bad X-mas for either of us. And the best part is they were both the wife's idea. Just ask Jim, I was shocked and confused when she said get them both. I knew there was a reason I held on to this one;)

It was actually the second gun they sold. Sitting there in the case looking lonely, next to a painted Whore of Babylon Springfield, a streetwalker SIG and 2 silicone sister Glunks. She was lonely and afeared, probably just come off the Greyhound. The wife says "sure you don't need anything else". I hesitated.... for about 11 seconds.
Right now it has only 350 rds through it. Best accy is running about 3" at 25 yards with my carry load which is a 200 gr cast LHP over 7.3 grains of Unique.

Ya , I bought my wife a new gun . We upgraded her from a Taurus PT-25 [ tilt down barrel ] to a Bursa Thunder Plus [ 15 round clip] in the .380
I know the ammo is pretty expensive , but it's an auto she can rack the slide without too much problem , AND , she is very good with it already, holding good groups at 15 yards.
Got the only defense rounds that were available at the time , Hornady defense rounds.
It may not be a great impact gun , but it sure is a lot better than that .25 cal,
I got two new Bass fishing rods <grin>

That is great. Post some pictures of the Bursa when you get a chance. I want to check it out.

I got a Gamo Whisper Deluxe and about $100 in .177 ammo of every weight and description possible.
I have a wonderful Irish Redhead who feeds my frenzy when she thinks it is something I will use.
The rifle is very handy for sitting in the basement since Xmas to occupy my time while I continue to improve in the health side,
I must also admit it is fun and challenging to his a 1/2" bull at 50' with open sights on a pellet rifle. Of course this rifle also shoots at about 1200 fps so it is no slouch.
Thank you Pat
