    Under the Tree....new handguns for everyone

    It just wouldn't be Christmas around here unless someone got guns or ammo

    A few weeks ago I called my dad to tell him I had put some money down on a Ruger Bearcat & I needed him to pick it up. [It's simpler for dad to buy them up front because of the paper work required here in Michigan. The CCW allows him to by without going to the sheriff's office first for a purchase permit.]

    Little did he know the plan was for him to pick it up and that the Bearcat would be waiting under the tree Christmas morning. He has wanted a Bearcat for several years, but has never gotten around to buying one, Mom, Zac, and I bought it for him.

    Zac (my brother) had wanted a 45acp for awhile but mostly he'd tease dad and I about buying it for him, rent payment is alot higher in Florida. His gift this year is a stainless Springfield 1911 along with 200rds of handloaded 230gr ball ammo, from our parents.

    For quite awhile I have wanted a 454 Casull for a while & a Ruger Super Redhawk 7.5" gun along with dies & brass was what I got from my parents.



    My girlfriend bought me the Lyman Cast bullet Manual (which doesnt have 454 in there but it does have 45lc which is good enough for right now). I am off tomorrow from work so I will probably be looking for a scope my SRH, because the read sight has been replaced with a Weaver style rail. I mounted a cheap bsa red dot on it and shot some old 45LC we had in the reloading room, I can see already this is going to be fun. My first revolver but my 3rd handgun, the 7.62x25 and the 45acp arent going to be playing much now.
