Newly Acquired!

[SWJewellTN]

So my wife gets informed the day before our tax return hits that she got the job that she really wants after 3 months of lay-off. So she took me out to celebrate, and this is what we got: a S&W 642 w/Crimson Trace grips for her, an Ed Brown Kobra Carry and Sig556 DMR for me!

Man! I love that woman!

Congrats on some nice purchases.

 

[chubbyzook]

That's a nice wife you got there definitely a keeper

 

[Texas42]

congrats!! in more ways than one.

 

[navyguy]

Some nice additions. Congrats and to her too for landing the job she wanted.

 

[SWJewellTN]

Thanks. This job has potential to move her up the ladder quickly, so we're both tickled.

If i come back out to TN can i borrow her for about an hour? My wife wont even go in to a gun store with me let alone buy me toys like those.

Thats awesome congrats on the new toys and on the wife getting a new job!

 

[cougartex]

Congratulations.

RetArmySgt: Chris normally won't go to gun shops with me unless I drag her: however, it's surprising the goodwill created when you're patient with her unemployed status, considerate of her feelings about the unemployement, and supportive in her desire to find the right job rather than taking whatever comes along. It also doesn't hurt that she's realizing that this world is becoming less safe, and that as we age I am not as capable of protecting her as I once was. She is genuinely wanting to learn to shoot properly, get her carry license, and practice to become proficient.

And I'd sure like to know why the danged "Reply With Quote" button never works for me!?

That rifle looks nice, how much was it if you don't mind me asking.

Yay! The frigg'n "Reply With Quote" button finally worked!

$1,900 after the dealer's discount. He cut the price by $200 to seal the deal.

Really nice guns! Congratulations on them, and the wifes new job!!

 

[CharlieBear]

Your my Hero!

Wow! Just think what you can get when she gets a promotion. I have a great wife but she is not into guns. She loves Pottery Barn. Stuff there cost as much as my guns. I guess we are even.

 

[Big J]

Congrats on the guns and even better for her on the new job. Now you can get all the ammo u need to feed those bad boys.

 

[SWJewellTN]

Thanks, guys. The wife is "kick'n ass and take'n names" at the new job. Those are the Executive Vice President's words. She thinks that her boss, (the Director of her department), is looking to either move up or move out, because he's training her to do his job in his absence. If you knew of how much this environment is in contrast with her former boss you'd know how substantial this is. In her former job her boss was mentally and verbally abusive because she was threatened by my wife's abilities and work ethic. She dealt with that crap for 9.5 years, so my wife feels like she's in heaven, (so to speak), now. Guns aside, I feel blessed to have such a great wife as well as blessed that she now has a great job.

As far as the weapons are concerned, the Kobra Carry is the sweetest thing i've ever shot. Far more accurate than I am, and incredibly comfortable to carry IWB. The SIG556 hasn't been shot yet. I just got the Larue QD rings to mount the SWFA SS 10x42 scope last week, and the range was packed all weekend. I hope to get it out there this Saturday. I'm working up some 75gr Hornady loads for it, so I plan on having some fun!
