Heavy "Hint" for a new .45 last night...

It was from my wife, too. She wants a new Ruger .45 Long for Christmas. (Silly me, I was thinking about jewelery.) The problem is style. She's already made it very clear that she likes the "case-hardened" look, but not so clear regarding the grips. "Bird's Head" or regular "Cowboy" grips? I don't want to make a mistake here, and it's darn easy to make that mistake when you're buying a "surprise" pistol for someone else. I hate to ruin a surprise, but maybe I should show her some more pictures. I need to be a little more "sneaky". :) Opinions please????

Thanks,
KR
 
Gotta love 'em....they want a specific item, exactly "like this", but want to be surprised. I use the picture approach. Lay them out, tell her to pick her choices. Then, when she asks "Why, what ever do you have in mind?"(with eyelash flutters), I just shrug and tell her I was thinking about something for a friend. If you heal up from that, and have money left over from the medical bill, the "surprise" can be that you went ahead and bought it.:rolleyes:
 
Greeting's All,

KR my friend, GO for it!:D There is nothing wrong with
Ruger's!:) All seems to be well, at this time.:cool:

Take her to a gun store where she can handle the different grip styles , since there are 3 choices , she might like the Bisley as well as either of the others you mentioned .
 
Yep...

I think I have it figured out. We'll go out to lunch and then I'll say, "Let's drop by the gun shop--just to look". And instead of wandering off, I'll just stand back a bit and "carefully" watch her face as she tries the Rugers. Yeah, that's the ticket! Gotta remember that we're going FOR HER. Can't-wander-off........Must-watch-closely.:D

I LIKE doing this. I'm kinda excited! A wife who likes to shoot as much as me. AND, is as "persnickety" about "HER" firearms as I am about MINE. Suddenly, I feel very lucky.:)
(You should see her at night [but ya' can't].) Walking around in her PJ's with a Ruger stainless .22 mag sixgun in a "Texas Gunslnger" cowboy holster. NOW, that is sexy!

:D KR
