At the beginning of the week I picked up a new Sig P238 and really liked it. Today the gun show was in town and I bought a LNIB S&W 1911 SC. Two new guns in the same week. My girlfriend was ok with the Sig purchase. I haven't told her about the 1911 purchase yet. I am suppose to be looking at engagement rings. I won't say anything if y'all don't. The 2 guns just look to great together to pass up!

NICE looking shootin irons. Does your girlfreind already have access to your accounts and info like that? Do you still have the cash for a good engagement ring? If no and yes, you are golden. If any other answers, not so much....

When my wife of now 4.5 yrs and I were dating and engaged, I bought lots of toys and told her about them and how much I paid. Was 'setting the stage" and parameters for later. Kept that up for a couple of years after marriage and it was all good until I got sick and had to quit working a while back.

Good luck, on ALL counts.

take her to the range and make her a shooter. if she starts to like it, works for you. if she doesn't still works for you 'cause you got good irons.

besides, you could always be looking for "just the right ring."

GIRLFRIEND???? Unless she's a wife she has no say in how you spend your money. Once your married you won't have to worry about it....you won't have enough money to spend on guns anyway.

slip that little one on her finger
and take her to the range.
You'll have a companion for life!

And she'll have a good time too.

Coyoteman I've run into that same problem myself. I just ran across a Rem 700 Mtn rifle that's hiding in the gun safe till it's safe to come out.

I really like that Smith.

If your girlfriend finds out and complains, get a new girlfriend.

Tell her you bought her a ring. Say honey put your finger in the trigger guard. Just make sure she isn't pointing at you. ;o)
