    Not me - I thought about it, but that'll pay off my '58. One of these days, the bank's gonna get tired of me taking out 48-month loans an' payin' 'em off in under a year.....lol

    If I did end up with a stimulus check, a new revolver in 454 Casull will be added to the collection! Woot!

    I was kind a thinking the same thing. Either that, or a 5" 460 mag. Maybe even a 480 Ruger. I was looking at a Super Redhawk, though I'm not exactly crazy about it's looks. Either that or a Super Blackhawk Bisley. What were you thinking of?

    I screwed up. Wife came in and said she read if we make $99k or more then we wouldn't get anything. I explained that was the scale for single people and married couples making under $150k get the full amount. Then it dawned on me...I could have spent $2400 on guns since she didn't think we'd see any of that money.

    Glad I filed my taxes early this year. 2018 I took a distribution to pay off the house. It would put me just over the max limit due to that. Since I filed already for 2019 they are supposed to use that. I am just under the $150k for married couples for 2019. Now if it just happens correctly.

    I'm torn. I'd like a suppressor....but I really don't need one, since most of the ammo I shoot is with cast bullets and suppressors really aren't that cast friendly. A new gun would provide immediate satisfaction.

    I wish you lived closer I could really use a training on casting bullets as well as reloading.

    Considering the IRS thinks I still owe them $ from 2007 I suspect they'll keep it and won't even send a thank you note. For the record I do NOT owe them but am unable to prove it due to a CPA, a nervous breakdown and a fire about which no fucks are given.

    That's not supposed to matter to this payment.

    I’d like to find gun shows up and running again.


    Unless you go to the larger venues, the small town gun shows are crappy. Junk being sold at new gun prices, old guns that are junk that are priced as valuable antiques, and stupid crap that's not even gun related.

    I quit going years ago because they got crappy.

    I'm sure thinking hard on getting the Taurus Raging Bull 454 with the 6.5" barrel.

    That and a new compact 9mm for EDC.

    If you ever get the chance to goto the small arms review show in Phoenix the first weekend in December I highly reccomend it. It's really the last of the big old time gun shows.....kinda. It really takes 2 days to properly get thru and is over flowing with stuff.

    You still have all the extra crap vendors there but you have buildings full of gun stuff along with tents and outside booths. Weather is great in Phoenix the first of December too.

    Beware of bubba's who think showers are optional in the winter. About t the e only down side.

    One of my favorites years ago was the one in the Astro Hall in Houston in February.

    Bought quite a few there over the years.

    The Astro Hall shows were decent. When they moved into the newer NRG Center or what ever it was called when it opened is what killed that show. Vendors bailed as they were no longer allowed outside food & beverage. Once the places figured it out it was to late.

    The internet killed the better gun shows. That & changing demographics.

    I agree. I attended before the internet!

    It was a great way to check out new guns you had read about in the gun magazines.
