For Christmas, I bought myself a Remington 870P 12-gauge shotgun. I was feeling nostalgic, so I ordered #4899, with a walnut stock, blued receiver, and an 18-inch barrel with bead sight.

[Lancey Howard]

Wow. I want one.

Bought my kids a .22/410 combo-sweet little thing that swaps barrels-took them to the range today.

The side benefit was that I think it tighten up the ex wife's jaws a bit

Kids love it and had a good time

For Christmas, my wife gave me a new H&K USP 45 with tritium night sights and 3 12rd mags. Fired it for the first time two days ago. Sweeeeeet. So is my wife. This will likely become my new standard carry gun.

[Chode]

sweeeeeet...!!! the only two HK's i have are in .308 but, my next one will be in .45 --- 8^) enjoy.

[AnAmericanMother]

Woooooo Hoooo!

I got a Remington 870 for Christmas! (and a shotshell reloader - all I had was the rifle/pistol progressive.)

The little birdies had better look out!

[Gritty]

My wife got me a nice Springfield XD 9mm for Christmas. As she knows nothing about guns, I picked it out, bought it and brought it home. Sweet! (both she and the pistol)

File a complaint with your states Medical Board.

This kind of crap has got to stop, and you have a chance to do your part from behind a keyboard.

Good luck.

for me it was a pre-christmas purchase of a used Weatherby Vanguard in .243 Winchester.

Post Christmas I plan on buying from a friend a break top S&W double action pocket pistol from around 1896 in .38 S&W caliber.

Do you have a link to that? I looked through the SAS website, but couldn't find anything like it.

The Cabela's in Hamburg Pennsylvania did good this year. I don't know the numbers but a slaesclerk I talked to yesterday said it was the first slow day of the season.

Sales must have picked up during the day. My husband and I were there last night just before closing and the sales guy said they broke a record for gun sales yesterday.

[basil]

No--I guess we don't have a link to it. All I have are hard copies. It's a two-sided tri-fold. We've had it for a long time. I will have to get with our data-base queen and see if she can put it up on the site.

I've put it on the site at:

Physician Questionnaire

[2nd amendment mama]

I've the link to the Physician Questionnaire in Post #53

[Tree of Liberty]

Thank you! I have an appointment with a new doctor in a couple weeks. I hope I won't need that form, but it can't hurt to be prepared. Thanks again.

[2nd amendment mama]

You're most welcome. Happy New Year!

[Tree of Liberty]

Happy New Year!

And back atcha

I got a new Remington 700 in .204 from my sister and brother in law. I appreciate the thought but this caliber is so tiny (32 gr bullet) that you'd have to hit a squirrel with at least three shots to bring it down.

204 is a very flat shooting tack driver. I selected a Savage 12VLP in 204 Ruger. Almost benchrest repeatability out of the box. A 32 gr at 4200 fps whacks a squirrel just fine.

Well, call me old-fashioned, but I always wanted one of these:

Thanks--I was about to ping you! As always, you're ahead of me--LOL!
