Passed on a pistol

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not made of money. Shocking I know, but I do like to save my pennies for fun things like guns and knives. So, I was very tempted at the Police store on Friday. They had a trade in Smith & Wesson Model 10-5 (a 4 inch .38 Special revolver). I evaluated it based on Xavier's guide lines, and think it was slightly overpriced. Not horribly, and I was still tempted, but I walked away. They wanted $249 for it, and while it locked up tight, the holster wear was a bit much. At $199 I probably would have scooped it up.

I haven't started putting together the AR lowers yet. I 'm goign to start with the Dreamsicle AR first. I'm tempted to pay the $200 tax and make it a SBR (Short Barrel Rifle), so I can put an upper with a barrel less then 16 inches, but want to wait a bit and see if I like it or want to trade it away.



Ink is finished, I'm still pretty sore, but it looks great.

Vegas ... again, and a new toy.

Just got word that I will be in Vegas again next week (For Interop). Current plan is arrive on Monday and leave on Thursday. Hopefully I will get to wrestle a bit while there. May try to hit Marc Laimon's gym (Cobra Kai) as I leave for Dallas on Friday (NAGA BJJ tournament).

Last time I went to Vegas, I ended up a couple hundred dollars up. That coupled with my winning the office March Madness pool, bought me a new CZ 452 (the .22 bolt action rifle). No pictures yet, but I will add them when I get home. For some reason, work frowns on me bringing my rifles in for a photo shoot. Something about playing with my camera vs working. Phillistines.

*Edit* No pictures. I couldn't get them to come out properly. I will try again this afternoon.
