Thought I would try something new: put my wife first

[AllenM]

Not looking for a pat on the back but I do feel kinda good about this.
This month is our 20th anniversary and we couldnt decide what to do for each other. She offered to buy me the new Ruger 1911 But neither she nor I could decide what would be special to her.

Finally she came out and said a nice camera is what she really wanted about $1400.00

We couldn't do both and since I have all the guns I need (can't believe I actually said that)I gave her my share of the money we were to spend so she could get a camera.

So yea, felt good not to put my addiction first

The only reason I post this is I seldom if ever turn down a free gun. At 50 maybe I am growing up finally?

Please leave your man card at the door on your way out of the building...

Blasphemy!

funny you say that

 

[theweakerbrother]

You did the right thing.

You'll get more use out of a nice camera than a new Ruger 1911(i.e. not exactly an EDC) anyway.

She might be the picture taker, but you'll get your fair share of use out of it as well.

Yeah, you deserve a pat on the back for that one, but I can only give you some rep.

OH NO!!! you dont ike to just watch them for real do you?

 

[Rayne]

You keep your man card, because a true man thinks of his family first. Good Job and thanks for posting this, so others can see that their still are good men out there.

Happy wife, happy house - and some *** coming (I'm certain). You definitely made the right choice. I think your man card should be safe.

Now you can forgo a few future firearms purchases so that you can get good lenses!!!!!

And good filters for the lenses (Graduated ND, circular polarizer, warming, etc)

And external hard drive space.

And more Class 10 SD HC cards.

And a good camera bag.

And a good tripod.

And a good "head" for the tripod.

And good photo editing software (though there ARE several free ones that are very good)

I'm currently in the process of building an enclosure out of 2" thick lexan to protect my camera so I can put it down range when i shoot and protect it from shrapnel. hate to destroy 4+ grand worth of camera equipment with a ricochet.

Ehh. They're over priced too. You can't beat Amazon. They always have the best prices...and no tax. For a while anyways.


What Camera are you looking for?

I've got it. Take the camera to Fort Liberty and take a picture of the Ruger. Then meet me up at MCFG and I will let you play with my Colt commander if you let me play with the Kel-tecs??? I made the same deal with my lady last Xmas. we now have a canon t2i and it is real nice to have around. BUT my Bday is in Feb. so i got mine then>
