Morning folks!

Morning all...
Darn it Tim, you beat me to it! Congrats! Beautiful gun

They have another one just like this one down there Tom. I looked at both to see if I could spot the blem and neither has anything I could see. I ended up choosing the one from the back room only because it saved them from having to make a new tag for the one in the case.

It is funny how some guns grab you and others don't. I've always liked the look of the 75B over the guns with rails, even though I like the usefulness of having a rail on the gun. Without a rail, this new gun will never do nightstand duty as long as there are railed options available each night. The Beretta 92 is a gun that's never grown on me. Non-1911 Sigs are the same way. Except for the P320, I just don't lust after the pistols in the Sig style.

Like CM says, I have nothing against them, but just don't care to own one. But, the stainless 75B was definitely a want for me. I fully expect it to become one of my favorite shooters with time, talent and parts. The Compact 75B is another gun that strikes a chord with me. If I decide to go back to 9mm carry, it will most likely be done with another Compact since I don't imagine I'll get my current compact back off of my son any time soon.

Or ever get it back "Dad"..............

 

[88E30M50]

Exactly. It would be a terribly boring place if our taste's all ran the same line.

Would you believe that there are actually people that like the look of a Glock?

No, they think they have to say that to be like the people who own handsome firearms.

And will argue this till the death.....

Very true. In their defense, I have generally looked at my collection from an heirloom standpoint. I guess they just hold on to the guns for us until we can hand them down to them. If that makes any sense.

 

[Birds Away]

Snap, if looking at that Omega ever becomes a burden please let me know and I will take it off your hands.

 

[Snapdragon]

But will it be death by Glock or by 1911?

It does.
I have had this conversation with the kids.
I have made sure they are all well armed and assisted them with upgrades.
My time for giving is done. Sharing at the range and feeding their guns is still open policy but no more "Can I take that with me".....Done with that.
As my collection is in constant flux what is left to them is still up in the air. I may liquidate when I get to to enjoy them.

I wish I had the cash, I'd run down and pick it up tonight!

I guess if you don't have good taste, it makes sense to delude yourself into thinking that your bad taste is somehow good. Worked for me for years

Hehehe... No, it's not particularly offensive where it sits now. It's in an old school leather duty holster at my bedside. I took an old belt, put it through the loop of the holster, and laid the belt between the mattress and the box spring so that the holster is the only thing you see, literally hanging from the side of my bed. I can just reach down with my right hand and grab it.

I am either tired/burned out/or just OK with what I have right now.....no lust.

Got the idea from this, and then realized I could probably do it better with stuff I already had.

It's just horrible that you have to put up with the sight of that every night before bed. Probably why you have problems sleeping. I would be a poor friend indeed if I allowed you to suffer any longer.

I have enough for both of us....and several others to boot.
