[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4027383, member: 13337"] Well, the gifting event went very well,,, I laid out the four pistols for him,,, And said "Pick one." It didn't take long for him to decide that it was,,, The Beretta or the Buckmark. Then an hour later he still hadn't made up his mind. He had shot the Beretta before and really liked it,,, But he told me that he had placed the Buckmark Hunter,,, Into his Buds cart several times in the past year only to delete it. So I did the only logical thing,,, I said, "You should probably have them both." I decided that I could do without the Beretta,,, I have a second NEOS pistol with 4.5 and 6" barrels,,, Along with a third pistol permanently mounted in the Carbine Kit. The Browning is a wonderful pistol that I think I bought just because it was so danged pretty,,, In the several years I've owned it I've probably not put 250 rounds through it,,, So I made the on the spot decision that I wouldn't miss this one either. Besides, if I ever did want to shoot the Browning,,, All I would need to do is say so,,, He'll bring it to the range. I'm glad he wasn't interested in the Ruger,,, I'm going to pair it up with a Mossberg 702 Plinkster,,, By making a matching sling/mag pouch and tactical holster. Same for the S&W,,, I'm going to pair it up with the CZ-512 Carbine I own,,, I want to make a fantasy "Steampunk Tactical" rig for that pair of guns. So it all worked out fine for me,,, My safe is a bit emptier,,, And that's good. He did balk a bit when I said he could have both,,, But I reminded him that he's going to inherit most of my guns anyways. This is just an early inheritance. It was fun for me,,, And his 3 older sons are jealous. They shouldn't be though,,, Last year I gave them all .22 rifles. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
