As I said in the other thread,  here's my next purchases. 

No, I mean, they're here.   They're no long my NEXT purchases, they're now my LATEST acquisitions.


Top:  Ruger 10/22 Target....very basic needs work
Left: XD40 Tactical
Right: XD9 Tactical (both need FO sights)
Center: Taurus TCP




Okay, I know I said the Kel-Tec.....call me a traitor....but I went with first instinct the Taurus.  I'll let everyone know how it works out after I get some range time with it.   Two magazine and a carry pouch.   Local gun smith, whom I trust voted either the Taurus or the Ruger.


SO, NOW

The next purchases are:
FN FAL in 308
Tikka T3 Varmint in .260 Remington

But not anytime soon.

No actually, they were a little in shock when I handed them my shopping list.  These have all been well planned for in advance.  No spur of the moment purchases.   Remember three were bought with trade-ins.  So there really is only one new gun.

You rascal...Congratulations!!!! Everyone should have a .22  What happened to "wheel guns" is "real guns" ::)

Quite the package. Looks like you will be "working" harder for ammo now.... ;D

That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

[snip]  What happened to "wheel guns" is "real guns" ::)

I never said that about "wheel" guns.  Not my quote.  Don't get me wrong, I have a few, just don't favor one over the other.  Each tool has its place.

[MY DREAM QUOTE would be, when someone pulls out their .550 S&W and says, "This is a gun."   I'd love to pull out a T/C handgun with 12" barrel in .577 TRex and say, "Nay, mate.  That ain't a real gun.  This is a real gun."]

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am now on the "overhire" list for the local professional theatre (Alliance).  So there will be some nights and weekend toting and hauling and lifting to pay for the ammo.   PLUS accessories   ["What separates us from the animals is out ability to accessorize." - loosely quoted from Olympus Dukakus]

Kudos to Ruger and Taurus for on-line warranty registration.

OH, the toil I must go through for my purchases. :-*

SAWeet! It's always nice to get a bunch of "new" toys at once. ;D Be sure and do a full report from the range. I've been considering the TCP for myself, especially because of the "bolt hold open on last shot" feature.
