Mrs. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

DCP_2459-1.JPGTaurus PT-99 9mm double-stack pistol with Hogue rubber grips. Cost: $358.00

17 rounds of Federal-brand 124 grain Hydra-Shok JHPs. Cost: $19.99

The look on your sweetheart’s face when you present her with her very-own semiautomatic pistol: Priceless

Okay, maybe a pistol isn’t every gal’s dream anniversary gift, but if that picture is any indication, I hit a home run this time.

Even though I plan to shoot it from time to time, let it be said for one and all that this is her pistol. Bad guys may infer whatever they wish from that statement, but let me add that she shot a five-inch group at 25 feet on her first magazine. You have been warned.

    While I appreciate it, I prefer to think of the Beretta as “mine” and the 9mm as “ours”. After all, you’re the one considering joining the “action shooting” competition at the gun range with it. :-)

    Woot! Go Stacey!

    I’d like to take a crack at that if you don’t mind Stacey. I had a blast (no pun intended) with the 9mm I rented last time I went with Joe to the range. I would buy one myself, but such is the life of being married to a Canadian. :-)

    Stacey,
    You go, girl!! Too bad you didn’t have that little package the night of the “Hold-up”, LOL. ;)

    Hey, Joe,
    My 21st anniversary is coming up in October, and I would LOVE to get one of those in a goody bag. Hubby would definitely be eating good for a while for that one. (Not that he doesn’t anyway, though.) :)

    Of course, one of the reasons it’s “her” gun is so I can get my own. Hmm… .45 ACP? .40 S&W? The pocketbook reels…

    GeeWhiz! I’m just a nerdy little worm. I got excited when I ordered an Italian BICYCLE helmet. Our worlds are not in orbit around the same sun at all, and mine seems kind of dull suddenly.
    Just do an old friend a kindness and vow to never buy GOLF CLUBS (shudder).

    Golf clubs? I’m just a gun nut, not a real nut.

    ‘17 rounds’? What happened to the other three?

    They’re still in the box. If I haven’t taken care of business with the first seventeen, I’m either a worse shot than I thought or I’m in the middle of Iraq.
