Anybody get anything cool that is gun-related today?

[DRC458]

You might have read in another thread earlier today that I was planning on buying back my step-father's Python as a Christmas present to him. I finally met up with the dealer this afternoon, and things turned sour quickly. After finally figuring out who my stepfather sold his Python to earlier this year, establishing contact and being told that he still had the Colt, we met today and I found out that he actually already sold it. He told me 'I thought I still had that one'. He tried to sell me on a few other Pythons that he had, but I was so red-hot mad at him that I just left.

I drove around OKC trying to find something to get my step-dad for Christmas that I felt he'd like as much as his old Python. While I think nothing would be as good as his old revolver, I was able to find a very nice lightly used S&W Performance Center 686 Plus - 7 shot .357. It came with the original box, paperwork, lock, etc. I feel that it is an heirloom quality gun that he'd really like to have, so I picked it up. Hopefully he won't miss that Python too much after getting this on Friday.

A bright side to all of this is that I'm into this for $700 less than what I had planned on spending on that Colt. Maybe a new gun will be in my future soon!

WHOA! That IS nice!!! I would be very pleased, and I'm betting he will, too!

Per their website they are closed except for UPS Express Critical deliveries (I never even heard of that?)

Hell, guessing by tracking on a couple of my packages, they shut down on the 16th or 17th. lol

Maybe you should start ordering everything UPS Express Critical? (whatever that is, LOL!)

Express mail only more than likely. We used to deliver express mail and obvious Christmas packages on Christmas day. I did it myself and let my employees have the day off when I was Postmaster at Choctaw. You don’t need them today anyway. [emoji12]

That's ok. The post office often delivers to the wrong address. Just forward them to me and I'll just forgive the USPS for their error. Merry Christmas

No, I don't need any of the outstanding stuff today.

I am hoping the two stagnant packages show up this week, as they are ski gear for our New Year's ski trip... I'll have to go somewhere to buy others to replace them if they don't show.
