Lamest justification yet for a gun purchase, 625

Don't drink tonight

Wait . . . didn't you have to take a pair a grips off that gun when you replace the grips . . . so now you have another pair of grips that need another gun to go on . . .. ;)
 
I never use the words 'justify' or 'need' in the same sentence with 'another gun' or 'S&W revolver'. Try chick logic. Use 'just because'. In an extreme emergency, try 'I bought it for you'.
 
If I may run with this one and on a more serious note: Do not be afraid to have a few magazines for guns you don't have. If things really go south, a firearm w/o the necessary mag is almost useless. I'm speaking of mags for commonly owned guns: 1911, Browning HP, Glock 17, AR, AK, M-1 Carbine, Ruger Mini-14, etc. Younger folks, please add mags for those guns I'm not familiar with.

P.S. Is this a great thread or what?

A very good point, though having the magazines "just in case" also leads to getting the gun to match. I had AR and M1 Carbine mags years before I ever got the guns. I do like the way you think, though ;-).
 
My friend bought a gun so I bought a gun. I called him and told him he's a bad influence. We're going to get together and go shooting soon.
 
I gotta old buggy wheel of a 19 century carriage....I was thinking... just maybe...I could....Naaaaw, oats are not too common here in the big city:)

On a more serious note, must one really need a good reason to do what we do here ? From what I can see, you did well.

When a woman starts out with a pair of ear rings then buys a necklace to match then a matching dress then of course 8 pair of shoes to match all the above....it makes sense...to someone.
I draw the line at matching houses though.
 
Sold a gun, last one in that caliber.

Had a few hundred rounds sitting in a can, no gun to shoot it going on 3 years now.

Heck, went and bought a gun to shoot up all that good ammo !

I have a friend like that. Wife’s not a fan.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought guns because I have a lonely set of grips, holster, speed loaders, etc. I am currently looking for a mint 36 because I have a beautiful set of Hogue tulipwood grips that need a home.
 
I was prepared to argue with you, but that gun is deserving of grips far better than anything altamont makes. Good acquisition by the way :)
 
Rationales are no longer necessary for me - single (divorced), and my last child graduated from pharmacy school last year leaving me with an extra $2000+ a month to invest wisely. If a classic 4 or 5 screw, or pinned & recessed Smith with beautiful Hogues or Ropers isn't a wise investment, I don't know what is, and I don't need no steenking broker (sage comment on GoingBroker.com, by the way). It's good to be the King :cool:
