in love with a gun

[roxybisquaint]

I know what you're thinking because I'm thinking it too.

Roxy, you don't need another gun!

Well that's what I was thinking... until I held the Springfield XD 9 in my hand. Now I think I do need it. I'd never even given the Springfield a look because I was sure that extra palm grip safety would be a nuissance. Not so. You don't even know you're pressing it, and the trigger is a breeze to squeeze. It's just awesome.



Why do these things have to be so damn expensive? $650 for this baby. I can probably find it closer to $550 if I shop around, though. And hey, what do you know!, there just happens to be a gun show not too far from here this weekend :)

Roxy, it's the wrong model number. Surely you mean XD 45? Are we going to have to go thru the whole girl's gun thing again?

LOL. You're forgetting that I am a girl. And a small one at that. I've never actually shot a .45, but I have a feeling it would knock me on my ass.

Roxy, Roxy. And you were chastising me for my sexist attitude. If you're doing it right, a 45 is a pussycat - tho not at the other end. As the saying goes, "It's not the size that counts... it's how big it is."

And get yourself a proper rifle:

...and don't go buying one of those M1 Carbines, it's a Garand you're wanting...

Well, OK, you can get an M1 Carbine so long as you get a Garand first.

I saw lots of M1 Carbines today, but never did see a Garand at the gun show.

Given the reports of the post-election gun-buying mania, it's not surprising the good stuff is hard to find.

Well, you'll surely be disappointed. I got the 9mm ;) (http://roxybisquaint.livejournal.com/61971.html).
