Kahr p40, if I can find one.
Just sold my wifes a few months ago, hated that gun...picking up a new AR myself, either a S&W M&P or a PSA patrol carbine...unless my local gun stores offer me a great deal on something else:p

Bought my daughter one. Put it in an old DVD player box and wrapped it. Hilarious times are ahead.

hahahahaha!! that is hilarious! If only you could video tape the look on her face when she unwraps it then further opens it to realize what the true gift is...

Picked up my S&W M&P Sport (AR15) and have since also picked up some great deals on a Primary Arms Red Dot and 3x Magnifier with quick release.

Beyond that I snagged a steal of a deal on a Bosch refurb li-on impact driver for $50. Retails for $250.

I know I'm getting RockSmith for the PS3 as well as a Playstation Move starter kit. Plus Uncharted 3. Going to be keeping my PS3 busy I guess.

My list :

S&W M&P 15 Sport Semi Automatic Rifle 5.56mm NATO 16" Barrel

:)

Details please. Replacing my .38 ultra-lite for a little more punch. Would hate to spend good $$ on a P.O.S.

It's not that it's bad per se but racking the slide is no easy task especially for a woman, really stiff spring that might loosen up in time but after 1k rounds hers sure didn't...also one helluva a kick, which I hear is common for .40's, more than my Bersa .45 compact...would've kept it myself but I have large hands and it is very slim and didn't fit well...so a lot of subjective reasons, quality wise I can't fault it so ymmv

A creepy house in the middle of nowhere, with a bondage dungeon for a basement.
Pretty female visitors that don't get the chance to leave.

A gallon of milk.

Thanks. It's a lot of $$ if I hate it.

Obviously you're happy with the Bersa. May look at them. Will be carrying in the pocket of my dockers so it can't be any bigger that the .38 ultra-lite.

A real job and an apartment. Seriously. Might get my wish. Fingers crossed.

Would love the complete Beatles or Pink Floyd box sets. Failing that Assassins Creed Revelations.

They aren't the cheapest things for sure...the Bersa wouldn't work for pocket carry though, heavyish steel frame and double stacked .45 magazine would print, i use an IWB holster...maybe an airweight .357 would work

RE: Router Bits and Shop-Vac

What are you building?

Building? I just can't resist good deals. :) (They were on sale).

At some point I'll be building cabinets/shelves for the garage and the house. Some speaker cabinets too, if I get motivated. I already have an older Shop-Vac but it is super loud. I'm hoping this one is quiet enough to use without hearing protection.

That's what started all of this. Can't conceal the .38 in my jeans pocket so I go to the gun store......:oops:

Figured I can move up to the .40, dockers pocket or IWB for the jeans. Sell my 3 9mm+ammo and cut back on the different types of ammo I have.
