My wife is .....

[SJ42]

AWESOME. She took me to the LGS today and told me I could get anything I wanted for Xmas. So after pondering the inventory i ordered

1911 Loaded .45ACP Handgun | Top Custom Pistols for Sale

It was either this or a RugerPrecision rifle. I decided I shoot handgun more these days than rifle so I took the 1911.

 

[Bananabandit]

Can I be the side hoe? I need another handgun

Awesome choice. And my Glock to 1911 ratio is 4-1

 

[Koz]

I appreciate a "conventional 1911", but I'm a lefty and need a ambi safety and I love the rail. Excellent choice (bride and gun). Enjoy many years of fun with both!!!

 

[Criticalt]

Great wife and great gun!

 

[SJ42]

Thanks everyone.She is a great wife.Been married to her for 29 years and cant imagine a day without her.Not sure why she puts up with me though but glad she does.

 

[MoMan]

WOWZA... does she have a sista!!

 

[Uzi]

How come everyone else gets expensive gifts? Last time I got a Christmas gift, I got a pair of socks from target and a tube of toothpaste and it's hurtful. I'm not homeless for Christ sake!

 

[Mk44]

You're a lucky man.
Congrats.

 

[Celt]

Thats awesome man! Sounds like a keeper.

 

[Calculon]

Awesome - congrats on both!

So is his wife!

 

[Saltwater60]

Wow. My wife told me she'd buy me my first handgun. Well it's been a year and I have 4 and I'm still waiting for her to buy my first one. So I guess I have 5 I just can't seem to find the first one because it's invisible or something.

 

[rpf427]

Congrats! Sounds like you have an awesome girl.

I have been blessed also with a wonderful wife. Am grateful for her everyday, and could never replace her. Never complains about any of my hobbies or toys I have acquired.

Just has adamantly dismissed my idea of a 3-way with Janine Pirro and Kellyanne Conway. Oh well........

 

[minderasr]

I wish you married guys would quit hoarding all the good women! Congrats on both the new 1911 and the awesome wife.

Sweet gun and a wonderful wife. She deserves one hell of a Christmas present herself.

Well there is the problem.She never asks for anything .Never throughout the year do I get a hint of anything she wants.Shes always been more into buying things for others and never herself.Once in a blue moon she will buy a pair of sneakers or something and then she complains about spending the money on herself.Wonderful lady but hard to buy for.

 

[togmaster]

Same as my ball and chain. She never said no to jewellery though.

You might:

- buy her a full day at the spa, - whatever she wants.
- hire someone to do whatever work / chores she normally does herself for a day
- take her on a hot air balloon ride at dusk (in better weather, of course)
- surprise her, by taking her on a 1st class flight to somewhere she would enjoy for a long weekend
- take her somewhere you would hate, but she would love (like the opera?), and smile and hold her hand throughout the ordeal

Get the idea?

Great early Christmas gift. I love the Loaded, I have two of them and I am thinking of a third.

Nice to have a woman that loves you

 

[Defilade]

I bought my wife a ton of Jewelry over the years, went on many trips and now I just planned a huge 50th Birthday party for her. With 3 kids a nice spread I had enough already. Every time I turn around someone or something is reaching in my pocket. Birthdays, Christmas, Mothers day , Valentines, Anniversary, Graduation over here, Funeral over there. Holy crap I need to run to the hills!

 

[Phauxtoe]

Hey does your wife Date?

 

[Darth]

Come on man, you can do better than that.

And I don't mean from a gun perspective, but from a business one.

Think about it: you can get whatever you want.

Get a 10k gift card.

Then you can still get your gun, plus a bunch left over. Win-win.

Gift smarter, not harder.

That'll be the day when my lady buys me a gun. Planet earth will disappear before that happens.

That Loaded is screaming for a magwell! Very nice @SJ42, you're wife is definitely a keeper.

She is keeper,she puts up with alot of B.S. from me, but she knows I wouldnt make it a week without her, and she is right. Ive been with her for35 plus years and can not imagine a day without her. As for the magwell,its crossed my mind.
