Mine:

Could be the makings of a great thread...

I did too!

A Taurus Judge in caliber .410 / LC .45

Kicks like a mule with 3 inch magnum 000, but the 15 foot pattern is the size of a big man's torso.

Awesome home defense weapon. 000 and slug alternated in chambers. Slow 'em down with buck, coup de grace with slug.

And is good for snakes with 6-8 shot.

Getting an early Christmas present tomorrow a Glock 20 10-mm Auto.

[Fido969]

Good choice.

[DarthVader]

Thanks and it has lots of firepower in terms of both volume and stopping power.

Model 94? 30-30? Looks a lot like what my dad has had for years, but it’s been a long time since I last looked at it.

But the season's real present may go to gun dealers, many of them counting the post-election profits of an "Obama rush" that saw shoppers stockpiling in case a new administration banned firearms.

They still don't get it. Arms and ammo are flying out the doors because we expect that we're going to have to use them.

Damn straight - I put a concealed carry piece on my list (the Sigma .40 cal’s just wearin’ a hole in my backpack and it prints too easily in a holster).

Kel-Tec P3AT for the pocket. SigP220 for the house.

[Sarisky]

Sorry about being boring, but No new guns, just some a shovel, plastic pipe and fittings to make it ‘watertight’.

Saw my little brother, his wife and sons over the Thanksgiving weekend for the first time in about a year and half.

Both he and his wife have CCL and the oldest boy is learning to shoot.

I would of never thought.

[Tijeras_Slim]

That’s a beauty! I haven’t had the opportunity to handle a Fausti yet.

November was a good month though, found a bargain priced Beretta 409 (1959 SXS in 16 gauge) and a LNIB Ruger Blackhawk in .44 Special.

[wolfcreek]

Wife’as company getting *employee* pricing at Cabelas this weekend.

We’ll see what transpires.

[2nd Bn, 11th Mar]

My present to myself was a S&W Model 66 snubbie, made in 1974 and NIB. Cost an arm and a leg, but it’s the only pinned and recessed 66 that I’ve seen with a target hammer and target trigger.

[VR-21]

I love leverguns. What’s it chambered for?

[Red in Blue PA]

Many thanks! I shot some porting clays this past week and someone commented on the gun before I even took the first shot. Never thought I would love a shotgun so much!
