Has your significant other liked one of your guns, and it suddenly became "their gun"

Nope. Not into guns really. But she DID say the Kimber Pro Carry II CrimsonTrace I showed her yesterday was "Cute". I may be in trouble.
 
Shortly after my now fiancée first moved in with me I found a Keltech Sub2k in .40 at a local gun store... I had been looking for one for about a year so of course I snatched it up. When she came home and saw it her response was "what the heck is that thing!" and she threw a fit because I didn't "consult" her on the purchase... That weekend at the range one mag and she declared it "hers" and that was that!
 
Ruger GP100 in .327 Federal....

"Oooooh. This is a lot easier to reload than my cowboy gun [.327 Blackhawk], and I don't have to cock it every time!"


....:rolleyes:
 
Guilty!

I just shot my guy's Colt Lawman .357 snubnose on the range with him last weekend. L-O-V-E-D that gun and was pretty dang accurate with it. He was impressed. Now.... looking for one of my own! No way would I take his but I am kinda hinting that he might WANT to give it to me as a present. Haha!
 
My wife doesn't shoot so that's not an issue. My father however, loves to shoot. I have found that whenever we go out shooting, most of my rifles end up in his safe at his house.:rolleyes: Luckily, he only lives about 2 miles away, so it's not an issue. We have worked out a system though: we keep all the range toys(my HD/SD guns stay with me obviously) at his place. I have keys to both his house and safe. Anytime i want to use any of "his" rifles, i can. Anytime he wants to use any of "my" rifles, he can.
 
No.

My woman knows what she likes, and also how to work for the things she wants. She gets no handouts, but loves to bring home the bacon to daddy and I have no problem doing the same. :cool:
 
I not only have the wife, but a daughter, and now three grandsons. when I purchase anything I simply plan ahead.

So far I have lost one 1991 A1, a Rem 700 in 25-06, a Rem 700 in .270, my 12 gauge, 410, a 22, and share everything else with the wife as she sees fit to want to shoot them. Least with her, everything is still available for me when I want to use it.

With the grandsons growing up and wanting their own stuff, looks sorta like I will be thinned out a bit more as time rolls on. Least they know when they get them, all the kinks are worked out. :D
 
I wish. After 29 years together I have failed to get her interested in guns and shooting. She's gone to the range with me once or twice but that's it. She says she is still a little afraid of guns even though she's been around them since she met me. Before that, as her father is a hunter and gun owner.

I have bought her a couple of guns but they set in the safe unfired. I have urged her to practice with a defensive pistol and get a carry permit but she has zero interest in doing that. I worry because she's a prosecuting attorney (municipal court) who deals with some pretty scummy people at times who might come looking for her but she is apparently unconcerned.
 
The first pistol I ever bought was a Springfield Loaded 1911. I love that pistol, I am a pretty decent shot with it and it just feels right in my hand. The first pistol I bought my wife was a Beretta Neos, her choice and another nice pistol. Well, I made the mistake of having her shoot the 1911 and now that is her bedside gun, her on the coffee table gun, in reality her gun.

The other day while she was at work I was open carrying it, cocked and locked, in a retention holster, and she came home and saw me with it. The first words out of her mouth even before Hi, or how was your day were "What are you doing carrying MY pistol?" I laughed and said "Um, dear, it is MY pistol."

I have begun looking for a new Springfield Loaded!
 
My wife got me for my Beretta 92 and my Browning buckmark 22.So i did what any good husband would do-She got them and I went and bought a Beretta 96 and another Buckmark(With a little longer barrel)..
So I think both times it was a win-win.. ;););)
 
Although I have not lost any to her, I have gotten to buy her a duplicate of the ones she shoots well. We have been married over 20 years and I still get a kick out of her when she is shooting well. On a good day for her, I really have to be on my toes or I will get out shot. :D
 
I finally had a chance to check back on this thread today, and I am still laughing after reading all of the stories that have been shared so far.:D

Thanks for sharing everybody. It made for a really good read.

When I got divorced about 25 years ago, my ex-wife demanded my 4" Diamondback .38 and 6" Diamondback 22. Hmmmph!
 
I mentioned above about the grandson's.

This past deer season the oldest (12) and I were sitting out on the bottom of a hill side at our farm when a nice big boar hog came strolling across the pasture towards us. I told him the 270 hadn't been checked at anything further than 100yds and I didn't know where it would hit out where the hog was. He had it sittin atop a hand held bi-pod and was dialed in on that hog. He kept saying I can take it pawpaw. Well the hog was coming but turned and started across and behind some big oak trees. I finally gave in and told him well go ahead, in my mind thinking he will shoot, miss, the hog will run off, and I will say see there smarty pants, you need to check these things before you just do them.

So the hog appears from behind the first big oak, he fired and dumped it on it's ear. All I could say was "good shot bud". I asked where he was holding and he said right on the front of his shoulder since he was walking. (you know the lead thing):rolleyes: I had seen that just as the trigger broke the hog did turn slightly away so didn't have a clue as to where he actually hit it. When we walked out the 255yds I lasered back, there was a nice entry right behind the hogs onside ear.

Well that was the start to our day. As it wore on and we were dressing out the hog and such, he asked hey do you have something that would reach out to where we first saw that hog? I said yep sure do, but your a bit light in the britches to be snugging up to it right now. He said well bring it up next trip and we'll see. Now this boy has been shooting since he was 3, got his first hog two weeks before his 4th birthday with reduced loads in a .308, and don't take "your not, or you can't" anything. So next trip I set him down behind my 7mm STW. He asked about where it was sighted and such, then settled the + on a clay pigeon at 100yds and dusted it. As he finished looking it over through the scope, his head turned real slow to look at me with a smile on it as big as this,:D

Bottom line, if you like it hide it and don't let anyone try it out. If so they will start to scheme away until they figure out your weak spot and in the blink of an eye it will be gone....:eek: The scary part is the other two always have to try and outdo this one.
