XRe Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I have a new toy sitting at my FFL holder's place right now. Because UPS delivered it towards the end of the day, he can't hook up with me until tomorrow. I'm going freakin' nuts. GRRRRRRRRR...... Oh well.... what's another day? I guess I won't sleep well tonight, either.... heh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ankeny Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I know the feeling, drives me buggy. I have picked up new toys and shot them in the head lights because I couldn't wait to pop a cap. What did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 It *does* feel a little like Christmas Eve I bought a Rusty Kidd "Pit Viper" that was put up for sale last Friday on the USPSA website, w/ three mags. I'll post some pics when I have the gun, and can take some quality shots. It's got 1800 rounds on it - can you say "just broken in"??? This jump starts one of my dream goals of returning to Open class - it was hard to see how it was going to happen, but... sometimes things just slide into place on their own It's almost exactly what I've kicked myself daily for selling 6 years ago - better than I could've hoped for, in the end, cause I'm getting basically a new gun for half the price, plus three mags! Schweet! I just can't play with it, yet.... dammit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ima45dv8 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 And after all that time and money you spent getting the singlestack .40 to run.... You should sell it to me cheap so it won't feel neglected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 And after all that time and money you spent getting the singlestack .40 to run.... You should sell it to me cheap so it won't feel neglected. Make no mistake - I'm still shooting that .40, too!!! Of course, it still has an occasional burp that I'm still working out, so.... maybe you *don't* want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I feel your pain about not shooting your new toy because my range has 18 inches of snow on it and it is zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 And you're not shooting on Saturday why? Cause all you guys are gonna drool all over my new piece! We've had tickets to see the Lippizaners in Houston for, like, 6 months, now. Beth planned a "romantic weekend" around it, and I'm doing the "good husband" thing, and going along Just inconvenient timing... Besides, I'm not geared up to shoot it in competition, yet, anyway Still waiting.... Lemme take the darn pictures, sheesh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
