Absolute best wishes for you both in the new year.

To an extent it’s kind of true? It’s a more fun, forced savings account. If you end up needing a little cash for something it’s there!

True to an extent, but under Trump, the gun market has stabilized, and it’s a little harder to sell guns. Market is saturated on most common items. The exotics and rare stuff still bring the money.

Yeah, selling a gun right now is a good way to lose your ass.

All those .357 Sigs you have went up in value this week. Good investment.

But then I have lost money on every single gun I have sold.

I just consider it the price of having a little fun with it for a while. Kind of like going to the casino with a set amount of cash - if I lose it all, it was the price of going out for the night.

I just have a P229 and a P239 in .357... I wish the MPX was in that. But then it would be more expensive to shoot.

Hot rods have always been bad investments, cars, guns, doesn’t matter. It’s the price we pay to have “exactly” what we want..

That's a good philosophy. The Wizard and I always referred to that as the rental fee.

Good morning my friends and Happy New Year. Hopefully I can retire before the year is out.

Absolutely. I'm willing to pay that penalty. Why have anything less than exactly what you want? It's one of the few areas in life where you can actually get it.

I don’t think I’ve ever fired the round. How pricey is it?

All you guys are always talking about retirement and I have 30 years (at least) left to go.

Happy New Year, my friend, to you and your lovely bride.

I shot a Glock in .357 and was not a huge fan. Very snappy in a polymer gun.

Every one of us would trade you in a heartbeat.

9 months and 12 days is what my countdown timer says. But it will probably be a year from yesterday or today. When are you planning on going?

Fotay is snappy enough for me, thanks. I just need enough recoil to get my fix. Nothing over the top.

 

[KJQ6945]

Not a fan of snappy.

New year. New thread. Late to the party.
