Title: Christmas Present?
Post by: dougusafsp on December 24, 2011, 10:00:07 AM
Anyone hoping for or getting a firearm for Christmas?

I have to wait for the Friday after Christmas for my Sig 556 but worth the wait.

2 Form 1's in the mail to the ATF as a birthday/Christmas present/burning up my Christmas bonus.  So yes, kinda, in about 6 months.

Not a gun, no, but I got a SIRT Pro from my wife, so my winter dryfire practice should be significantly improved.  :)

Yes...I had to order it myself and I had it sent to the wife for wrapping.  Getting a noise cancelling headset.

I got a Mossberg 500 (50780) for Christmas. Not a fun gun to shoot though, at least with the pistol grip.

I got nothing.  Next month however, should be a 1926 H & R .22 Special 7 shot, an upper for my AR, and possibly a 1911.

maybe...

I decided to start on a kitchen remodel next month, so the wife and I passed on the Christmas gifts for ourselves this year.

A new island and quartz top will tap us out for a while. Thankfully I planned ahead ;)

I got my Kel Tec P3AT for Christmas. Of course I had to go buy it and order it, but it was well worth it!!

I had a Cabela's gift card so I picked up a chrony today.  Couldn't get it to pick up my pellet pistol in the basement.  I want to get to the range to try it out but my shooting buddy (daughter) is home from school all week and she's grounded for being a little turd so no shooting for her, and by extension me.  It sucks being off work all week and not being able to go to the range.  Maybe if my wife gets a day off work....

Come out tomorrow noon and make her sit in the truck and watch. I plan on going out around 11

Actually I did make it out there on Monday with the wife while the munchkin was elsewhere...I saw your truck as you were leaving.

You could always re-gift it to me.  I know I'd have fun shooting it.  :D
