OK, THR's, if each of us could give Gus two firearms for her 21st birthday, what would they be, and why? A make-believe birthday bash is way better than nothing!

My choices:

A pre-ban, selective-fire, supressed HK PDW
A Tibbets customized, fully-engraved Delta Elite

Why? The PDW scores high on the WOW factor at any range. Having had one opportunity to shoot it, supressed, I almost threw myself heavily into debt - it was so much fun!

The threads that showed me how lovely the Tibbets Custom Shop makes the Delta Elite brought me to realize that such a work of art could only be improved if it was lovingly engraved - the perfect gift.

Happy birthday, Gus!

Hmm.... Well who is Gus? And why should I give him two firearms for his birthday?

If I did though, they would be a Sig p239 in .357 sig for concealed carry and a Benelli M-1 Tactical for home defense.

Practical in every way!
 
Just because I wnat to give a couple of presents away... A M79 with a case of Buckshot, Cause its just fun. And a Ruger .357 stainless Blackhawk.

Dorian....Gus is a GIRL and a member of this board.....her handle is Gus Dddysgrl

So.........Happy Birthday Gus.:D
 
Virtual gift...

A brace of 4" Diamondbacks, one in .22 LR and the other a 38 Special. Maybe she won't appreciate them now, but she would later as she grows into refinement.
 
Thanks guys and gals. :D I am VERY excited about turning 21. I am hopefully going to try out some more of daddy's guns to see which I like best. I would love to carry the glock, but it's hard to conceal. With winter coming though it would be easier. We'll just wait and see.

Gus
 
nonsense! you can conceal the glock, or any other fullsized handgun, easily! simply talk your dad into helping you buy a new wardrobe that is conducive to concealing the gun you wish to carry.
:D
 
Don't forget a pair of Royal Robbins pants and a Wilderness belt :D

Did you say you are engaged already, or was the 'fiancee' thing in the other post a hypothetical?
 
Hmmm.

I think I'd opt to get Gus two pretty ponies.

A full sized Colt government model .45, for winter and or belt wear. And a nice detective special .38 for more discreet carry. Of course, a 380 Government model wouldn't be out of the question.

We can get em in blue or stainless or even parkerized if they have to have that tacticool Glock baked on finish.

Wait.. does Gus like rifles too?
 
I have this feeling Perfessr is gonna regret ever letting Gus read THR in the first place. :)

Gus is a hit with the Forum
Gus wants daddy's gun ( crinkle...I think I hear him wrapping it now).
He is reading this thread...and wondering do I push for elopement and save my guns...or will that mean I'll have to buy the SIL guns too...

Plus, oh my- these guys are really giving her expensive idea for a want list for a certain holiday coming up.
:)
 
Skunk-Yes I am engaged. :)

Dr. Rob-Yes I like rifles. I get a kick out of daddy's lever action and had lots of fun shooting Sodapop's "evil black rifles" at the shoot the other month.

I like having my b-day semi close to Christmas. Cause then what I don't get for my b-day I ask for for Christmas.

:evil:


I think daddy like that I get on here. That way y'all can educate me about guns and he doesn't have to do it all. :neener:


Gus
 
Skunk-yeah well.

Of course all y'all are invited. I don't know who all will show up or why they would, but we'll see. I maybe have to clear that with Jon first. :D

I have this mental image of THR gathering seated on the bride's side. "Man, that's the most heavily armed wedding party I've ever seen."

And picture the reption & gift opening. "Look honey, another case of ammo! Aaahhhh!! It's an all-black uber-tactical wardrobe! Skunky, you shouldn't have!!"
 
wedding, presents and more...

so this is me caving in...you hear that Gus...hun...i did it...bound to happen i guess.

first off i want to say im new, im with gus, and im glad that ya'll are getting her some pretty sweet toys...i think, cause im new, i also want to say im new to the whole gun thing, but loving gus, and her family has brought them to me in a whole new way, just my family isnt all into them, as mega crazy as the williams' are...but, things change...

so now that im here, and joined in, and have met some of you, the shoot a few months back up in somewheres pa, its official, ive turned in my paint brushes and drawing tablets for the highroad.

hope to see you all soon and hear from you more...

and gus, i dont know what to get you, i dont think i could outshine any of these guys and gals toting guns to your bday party, so hows bout i just give you a nice big...hmm, the prefesser may be here...so we will leave it at a good ol' kiss and a sweet night out with yours truly

love ya...byes
 
21st eh?
I'm tempted to say a Glock 21 because I have yet to meet a woman who having shot it, doesn't love it, even if its kinda on the large size.... but, going for a CCW theme and leaving it to b-day presents only (we'll deal with wedding registration type gifts for another day, another thread and include Gg...you poor poor young man... I hope you reload or learn to), I'd have to go with a Colt Combat Commander, stainless, worked over by Terry Tussey, lightly and tastefully engraved as my first choice.
In the long gun category, I'd keep it to a basic USGI Carbine, M1, .30 cal. as its fun, works for light hunting and plinking and can be used to defend hearth and home as need be. Maybe throw in a thousand rds with 2-3, 30 rd. mags.

Adios
