Well, due to recent events, our Christmas list changed drastically (for the better IMO). Talking to hubby this morning, we have decided that everyone is going to get a new gun for Christmas, and we have 4 kids. I've been eyeing a XDM or a 1911 (leaning toward the Springfield 1911), Hubby is getting a Savage Axis for 'yote thinning that is .223/Nato 5.56 compatable with a 20" barrel. Oldest son, who is serving in Kuwait right now, is getting a Springfield 1911 (special engraved for his deployment). Oldest daughter, just turned 18 this year and voted for the first time (lousy first time) is going to get her first handgun, probably a Springfield XD type, to have time to practice and get reliable with it before going for her CC in two years. Middle daughter is getting the shotgun she has been wanting for trap competition for a couple of years (she's been using fathers Benelli). And youngest son we're still trying to figure out if he gets his AK or something else. And everyone is getting bricks in their stockings (ammo bricks, LOL).
I foresee Christmas day as being a great day on the range after lunch this year :biggrin: (Except for oldest son, who will have to enjoy the pictures of us holding his gun till he gets back in the spring. But, he gets to play with things with a REALLY big bang that REALLY smoke through the air all the time so fair is fair.)
So what is on your "wish list"?
