I'd stock ammo for the calibers you have, your ammo situation is scary!! Then train/practice
Yeah the numbers are a bit scary but we each have a comfort level.

Just throw in 600 of your own and get something really nice
If she and the in-laws gave you money for something specific, I would get the item they gave you the money for. If they gave it to you to "do whatever you want with", then I'd say you're good to entertain other thoughts. Just my opinion. If I gave someone money for something specific, I'd expect them to use it for that item.
$600? Well, that’s easy, hookers and blow!
This is on my mind. If the wife (back in the early days, after 35 years things are different) had given me money to buy A and I didn’t buy A, she would’ve been ticked. If I ever looked at A, talked about it again, It would have been a SHTF event.
50 replies and no one has stated, "ITS A TRAP!!" Buy her something, then spend the other $550 on training and ammo.
So my amazing wife blew me away this Christmas. Not only did she get me a big set of steel targets, she got together with my in laws and gave me enough to buy the gun that I've been wanting that just happened to pop up on r/gundeals:

I have wanted an SFX for over a year. Originally sold my MP9 to get both an Elite and SFX but had some financial roadbumps and only ended up with the Elite. It does everything well, but I just know the SFX is made for Carry Optics (which I want to try), and it's the shiny new thing, who doesn't love an upgrade
Now I have the money in hand, but can't bring myself to pull the trigger. I keep feeling like there's something else I should be spending it on. Maybe I feel bad because I'm spending it all on one thing I don't really NEED, maybe it's just weird because I've been looking at it for so long, I don't know.
While I'm pondering life questions, I want INGOs help spending my money
Here is my safe as it sits now:
My AR, nothing special, with a TRS-25 for plinking/2gun
My Elite, for USPSA/carry/nightstand
Her SR9, steel/carry/nightstand
Our Shield, carry
My Ruger MKIII, plinking
300rds 9mm, with components for 500more
200rds 5.56
An unmounted Vortex Crossfire 2-7x32
Other things I could spend this money on:
A 2nd AR, because they are stupid cheap right now/2 is 1, 1 is none/I have an optic to put on it I could also make it 'hers' and have her input in getting components/building it, even though the money is supposed to be for me
A shotgun, because I don't have one, and I could end up using it for 3gun and maybe (hopefully) hunting
The SFX without the Venom for ~$450, and spend the remainder on ammo, and get the Venom later (I just hate to do this because I doubt I'll be able to find a Venom for $150)
Or I can spend it on something else that you feel I'm missing. What should I do? :Ingo:
