Lamest justification yet for a gun purchase, 625

Well, hell. That did it, I just went to the shop and looked and sure enough, there is a bag of 50 new Starline 45 AR cases. Now to just wait for the Alabama Gun Collectors show in July-if I can. It's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I have a pair of grips that would fit it...

I have a 625-3 3" only it has a bead blast finish, I like your brushed stainless much better. I didn't know Smith made both versions in the - 3. Seems like I learn something new here every day.

But dear this is the last gun I will buy!! (this month).
On the same note, I am now on my 3rd "last motorcycle I will buy"
 
I am sure glad I do not have to justify anything I buy with Mrs. chukar.
All I ever hear from her is “oh that is a nice one“ and occasionally the dreaded “is that for me? Very thoughtful of you” when I drag a compact of some sort through the door.
But you guys got me thinking that I have a very nice set of K frame non-relieved diamond target stocks in the safe. It ain't an excuse but now it may become a mission.

Once upon a time the only 45 caliber gun I owned was a 1911. While searching a gun show for 45 cal bullet molds I got a super deal on two. One mold was a full button nose wadcutter that simply wouldn’t feed in a 1911. The generous gun show vendor added some moon clips to the deal. Having a mold only suitable for revolvers and made worse by having about a dozen moon clips. I was forced to buy a 45 ACP revolver. Started out with a Brazilian 1917, then another and another 45 ACP revolvers. I justified by blaming it on the vendor that coerced me into buying a bullet mold I didn’t need. It’s his fault not mine. I’m sure I got the “oh no not another how many do you need” lecture but I now have three 45ACP revolvers and she took a permanent walk from my life.

Yeah, mine’s has the bead blasted finish too. Same as my 629-2 Mountain revolver.
 
If you happen to have either a holster, dies, or stocks for a firearm or caliber, then you are obligated to buy the matching firearm. It's not a lame justification, it is one of the founding rules for firearms ownership. :)

It's not just a good idea, it's the law.:D

I had to buy a pistol once because I found a holster and mag holders for that very gun. (which I didn't own at the time);)
 
If I needed to justify gun purchases I would not have bought one in 20 years. A man can justify a .22 rifle, a .12 gauge shotgun and a pistol or revolver; everything else is fluff. I like fluff.
 
Why?

Why does one need any excuse? Why would anyone ask you? These questions have no legitimate answer. If your significant other asks, then you need some kind of premeditated reason, but otherwise, crickets. I like your original whim of not shooting a short barrel .44 Magnum at paper.
 
One time when booze and guns worked out well.
 
I used to gun to the gun shops with a buddy who had the habit of coming home with at least one new gun every time we went. If we were in my vehicle and his wife was home, he'd have me keep them until she was gone before he'd sneak them in the house.
