Which means that you’ll probably get double or triple tomorrow.
Carry everywhere you can (and some that you can’t), and keep your head on a swivel.

The 629… I held out for a Model 29 and found one, all shiny and new, at the Fort Belvoir PX back in ’21. Retirement packet had been submitted, we’d just sold a house, so I asked the wife if I could use a little of those proceeds to buy my first gun in over a decade (officially). Not quite the Dirty Harry gun as mine’s a 4″ barrel, but that makes it slightly easier to carry. Little did I know the floodgates had reopened. By the time I left, I was well-known by the gun counter employees at Belvoir, having purchased six or seven guns in nearly as many months.
I head in today with the intent to take advantage of the 10% off Club Mondays we have going on. During lunch, I’ll do the paperwork on one of two extremely high-quality pistols I plan on buying: a Lorcin .380 and an Iberia (Hi-Point) .40. With the Club discount coupled with military discount (employees can’t use our 7% for promos like this), I’m looking at $150 for two of the finest pistols to ever see the inside of an evidence locker.
Oh, and there’s also a J.C. Higgins (Sears) shotgun that was the third gun in the lot sold by the young man who traded those two pistols in. If it’s not sold, I might pick it up for $130 or so. I probably have 20 12 gauges, but you can never have enough. 🤔
Oh, and the Iberia is partly to remind me of how ignorant I once was. When I was around 19 or 20, working at the Cadillac dealership, a coworker offered me a gun he said was made by S&W, or at least in the same area. $40 for a pistol wasn’t bad (and, yes, it was legal for an 18-20-year-old to buy a pistol in a private sale), but that thing was ragged out and rattled even more than Hi-Points do when they’re new.
One or both will truthfully probably be stashed in the shop and/or garage somewhere. The old Rossi .38 in the garage needs a thorough cleaning, and the Taurus revolver in the truck is well-hidden and much more comforting to know it’ll work if I need it.

I am SOOO jealous!
1-that you have that much disposable income to spend on guns & ammo
2-that you can buy them at such a discount.

My dad told me his dad had an old JC Higgins 8-gauge, single-shot bolt action goose gun when he was a yute. Said it was like firing a small cannon from your shoulder but it could knock down a goose at extreme ranges. Nobody seems to know whatever happened to it.
I dunno, I think I could put such a gun to good use in the breach!
Essayons!

My favorite revolver S&W 629 4” SS, Comes with houge grips. Travels well in a chest holster. Sweeting shooting and accurate. Light trigger in double action. It’s. Better than my model 12 .38 Spcl. I had in the service any day.

Saw my optometrist last week – a fellow gun guy- asked if on my next prescription they could design the lens to where I could use my old head-down posture aiming my pistol.
He smiled and shook his hand, “those days are over, change your stance.”
So I went home and ran the “Delta 2” drill from a recent “Shooting Illustrated”, scoring 77 in the first iteration and 89 in the second.
I did not consciously change my stance.
Yeah, my pride may be an issue…

“8-gauge” That’s almost KOB land.

Hopefully he finds himself in front of a no-nonsense judge and gets packed off to Raiford for 1-3. That’ll learn him.
