My lovely wife has been gently riding my arse to sell a gun for any new gun purchase.

On Monday, I fired (not "shot") someone's Taurus Tracker .357 w/ported 6" bbl. I absolutely loved it. (.38 rounds felt like a .22 magnum).

She's in Alaska right now…I'm in Texas…..

The only thing I don't like about Taurus revolvers is the finish. They look really good, though. Good buy, bro.

Admittedly not my favorite aspect either, but my backcountry sidearm gets the hell beat out of it, so a nice finish doesn't matter.

Especially good buy considering I got it used (originally purchased last week). I bought it for $400 including 200 rds of ammo.

Previous owner bought it on a whim and only put a couple hundred rounds through it. Gotta love buyer's remorse!

Nice. I have sneaked a few guns into the house while the wife was out. If you have a big enough collection and the wife isn't into guns they don't realize they are new

My wife doesn't have the correct safe combination....


Her walking-around-town moose gun is left out, and it doubles as her home defense weapon. (.357 mag 4"bbl)

That's okay I'm negotiating buying the entire safe and it's contents. Roger is handling the middle man aspect of the deal.

I better find some nice guns in there when I pop the top so to speak.

Hope you're up for a nice trip... ....the safe is in Alaska and you can't take much of the contents through Canada.

every time I have bought guns or ammo without the wife she later asks me why I bought so little.

My reply to the wife is - no, it's not new, I've had that gun for years.

Nice gun

I just hope my wife doesn't try to sell any of them for what I told her they cost

I have a spreadsheet saved on a flash drive that lists every gun I own, where it is from, what year, features, what I paid, what it is worth, the S/N, and anything else I think is relavent.

Starting that relationship out the correct way. Never let a women know everything you have or where it's located.
