The soon-to-be Mrs. has decided that a Walther PPKS is what she wants to carry. Now I just have to track one down, and all the accessories of course.

The last gun related thing I bought was probably a mag coupler for the Ruger BX-25 mags.

I picked up a double BX-25X2 at Cabelas. It comes with a cover for the exposed end. Pretty nice set up.

That dust cover is a good idea. I never saw one of those.

Now for the part where "I must pay"...
Guess what I was reminded of, that comes on the 28th?..
My wife's birthday.. I got nothing.. But the Glock will be here on the 27th... I'm screwed!!!

Picked up a Mossy 500 last weekend. Tried the pistol grip with just trap loads and it's coming right off again.  Maybe if I was still swinging a hammer or if I was a boxer I could go in that configuration, but I use my wrists now only for computer mouse clicking and playing guitar...they wouldn't hold up.

Nice gun! I agree. Shotguns are much more useful, and easier to shoot with a conventional stock.

my latest purchases hmmmm

well I got these last week

1 x 586 blued 6" revolver
1 x set of new grips for new revolver
3 x Safariland II comp speedloaders
2 x 45 cal 6 cavity molds
1 x Mold handles
4 x cylinder hones for .357 and 44mag (1 each of 400 grit and 800 grit

Those grips (and the gun!) are bee-yew-tee-ful!  I think my father in law has a 586.  That's a quite sexy gun, and I'm not really a revolver guy.

Now for the part where "I must pay"...
Guess what I was reminded of, that comes on the 28th?..
My wife's birthday.. I got nothing.. But the Glock will be here on the 27th... I'm screwed!!!  

You could always go the Homer Simpson route... For Marge's birthday one year, he got a her a new bowling ball... fitted for his hand.  My coworker brought that up when he was telling me about the Springfield XD-S he got "for his wife..."


More pics with some new arrivals:

Dillion stuff - three white boxes are a Super Swage and 2 toolheads.  Three blue boxes are a 9mm conversion kit, a 223 conversion kit, and a set of 223 dies.
Springfield XD-m 9mm 3.8" Compact
The other two were already posted, but this is them out of their wrappers.

I went to pick it up yesterday. Had it delivered to my gunsmith..
That was on the way to taking her out to eat, of course.. She laughs at me because I can't go in there for "a minute". 15 minutes worth of visit takes me an hour if I'm hurrying.. I suppose if it's any consolation, I didn't bring it home with me. I left it there for a Ghost Connector and general "slicking up" of the mechanism..

A note on the transfer..
The lady at NICS asked a question that wasn't on the form.. She wanted to know "what kind of purchase" it was..
My guy there is real quick to get really crabby if something happens that he doesn't like.. (Part of why I like him. It makes me laugh..)
He told her that the question wasn't on the form and asked her what she meant. She repeated the question. He asked where that came from and she said that "it's required information now". (BS..) He told her that he didn't know what she meant again and made her give examples. She said "is it a police purchase, a private sale", etc. He told her it was a transfer and she continued on with the check..
** Just a word of warning.. It sounds like the NICS system is next on the list of "making it up as you go along" rules.. 

PS.. I've got the fever and I'm not planning on stopping till I get one more.
I'm looking for a Sig 226 Elite SAO. If anybody has one they want to turn loose of or can give me a price on a new one that's lower than $880, let me know..

After being without a pocket pistol for a year this Keltec PF-9 found its way home with me.
Quit a little handful with Corbon ammo.
