crockett Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Being hit with constant heat in Florida, I do love the Christmas time and enjoy every day that doesn't hit the 80s or 90s. As a kid and teen I couldn't afford anything, and I didn't get much for Christmas either. This might very well explain why I enjoy buying my useless ass something nice for Christmas. By this time of the year I usually got most of the things I could come up with, but this time I'm being late. I won't be spending that much money, I guess I'm getting old and content. Maybe a new wheel gun, or a commercial grade bench grinder, or some other tools. Something I can tinker with over the holidays, and that puts a smile on my face. What's on your wish-list...? A Redhawk .41 Magnum is pretty high on the list... Edited November 27, 2018 by crockett 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbie18 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Better body armor, I hope. My department is supposed to have some new rifle plates I've been looking forward to. Fingers crossed! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Same thing I've asked for many years. A new flannel shirt, a history book, a pound of coffee and a pound of gummy bears. The gummy bear tradition goes back 34 years. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXUSMC Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 We're renovating a house we'll move into next year, so wife and I are "giving" each other appliances ?. I need nothing in the way of new possessions... have more guns than I can shoot, more knives than I can carry... you get the picture. The thing I want more than anything else: time. While I'm in relatively good health, I know that my time on earth with loved ones is slipping away, and that I should enjoy every day that I am granted with them. Our next/last move will put us much closer to family. And I look forward to days of hiking with grandchildren, and buying them each their first pocketknife. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaBud Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 50ae and 500 S&W magnum ammo. I gave the wife the gun-deals website and how to use it. She's confirming with one of my training partners as to ammo choice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minervadoe Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Ruger Precision Rimfire. I got it on sale at Sportsmans Warehouse for $369. Being the king of cheap scopes, I'm equipping mine with a $59 Simmons .22 Magnum scope. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again. 10 hours ago, tous said: Well, you are from the era when that was a good thing to get...... Personally I plan to get the wife some running boards for her Pilot. And maybe some good computer headphones since she is taking college courses online. I might buy myself a rifle of some sort. But I'm not sure. Probably not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMerlin Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Still trying to decide on a Beretta 686 or a Browning Cynergy CX. Going to be a gentleman trap shooter come the end of February. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&P15T Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I bought myself $1300.00 worth of Steeda suspension stuff for Big Yellow. Shocks, struts, horizontal links, bushings, other stuff...... Steeda had Black Friday deals, and I succumbed to temptation. Of course some of it is back-ordered, and they didn't tell me that when I ordered it. So here I am, all nervous and anxious and giggly like a schoolgirl, waiting for my suspension stuff to arrive in a few days, only to find out 1/3rd of what I ordered won't be here for another few weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyzz Kydd Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I'm not planning on getting anything for myself, but I am getting my 9 year old a set of Ruger Single Sixes in 32 H&R Magnum, a Henry youth .22 lever action rifle with a 'soft stroke' conversion and trigger job, an Ithaca SKB 100 12 gauge double barrel shotgun, and a custom made double pistol holster belt rig as well as a shotgun belt. Starting in January he'll be coming with my wife and me to Cowboy matches. THATS my gift to myself, his company on Saturdays. I already have one of the Rugers, the Henry and the SKB, all I need now is the matching Ruger and the custom rig. We'll be a well heeled cowboy family. I'll be shooting my matching Ruger Vaqueros, Uberti 1873 rifle and SKB shotgun. Sharyn has identical guns, just shorter LOP and her pistols are .32s not 38s. Michael has the same type rifle and shotgun but shoots Uberti Birdshead Lightning pistols in .38 sp., and Jonathan will have his new guns and rig. My arm is going to be tired from loading all the ammo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
