Now I need to think about it for a little and hope it sells out, then kick myself for years to come!

Love it... "Need" vs. "Want"... A few years back, I told my wife that I wanted to pick up a new pistol. She said... and I quote: "You have several... what do you NEED a new gun for?" I sat back for a moment... looked at her and replied: "I didn't say I NEED a new gun, I said that I wanted a new gun."

Now you know... if you're married... what "the sigh" sounds like. "SIGH..." OK, so why do WANT a new gun?" I let her stew on it for a few seconds and then said: "How much did our 401K's increase this past year?".... She gave me a number in the single digits... and I replied "My gun collection has increased over 100% in the past 12 months." Mrs. reply?....

"OH.... Ok."

I've never heard another word on the subject. Now you may not be able to use this as long as Trump is in office, but it's invaluable when the Dems are at the helm.

Yep, I have a budget but usually it goes to reloading supplies. I too don't ever really "need" another gun its always a big want.

Reloading and cycling usually eat up my "budget" quickly.
