Who else got the perfect gift from their wife this Christmas??

My girlfriend got me a few things (I did the same for her and her reactions were very worth it), but my favorite is a sweet S&W belt buckle I have wanted for over a year now. This past year I haven't really had any spending money for anything like that. Anything beyond bills and food all goes to range time and ammo for the most part for me, so I was very excited and will wear the heck out of it :)


To the original poster: WOW that is so awesome! I have a 5906 very similar to yours, only difference is the grip. It was my first cartridge-firing gun, and I LOVE it and will never ever sell it. Give your wife a high-five for me :)
 
Husband and the Boy got me, apart from the non-gun related stuff, a factory magazine for my P226. The shearling slippers are a close second, though.

Non-gun related, but mine got me a Tempur-Pedic pillow - it has a hump that goes under your neck (you're supposed to sleep on your back) and is made of firm foam that molds to your head and neck. It was a little uncomfortable for the first 3 nights as I got used to it, but even that first night, my wife says I didn't snore for the first time since she's known me. Also, I used to grind my teeth and had to sleep with a mouth guard, but I also stopped doing that! I still go to bed and get up at the same time, but I feel like i'm getting a couple of extra hours sleep since i don't wake myself up several times a night. They seem expensive (close to $100), but my wife thinks it's the best $$$ she's ever spent!
I have a Tempur-Pedic as well. Like you, it has made a huge difference in sleeping! Mine has lasted really well for the past year and a half, i've never had a pillow last this long AND still be awesome to sleep on every night.
 
Any gift my wife gives me is the perfect gift.

Those tempup-pedic pillows are great and last for a long time unlike the other foam ones. I've used one for quite awhile now. I have a bum neck and it has really helped me get a decent night's sleep.
 
I've belonged to an indoor club for years....Nice place but it is pretty much pistols only(even that's limited to <1350fps rounds), I've had to mooch and tag along with my buds to use a rifle range or shoot outside.
This Christmas my wife got me membership at a local outdoor rifle/pistol range. The place is nice, no restrictions on ammo, reactive and metal targets are okay and its great being able to stretch out with a rifle on my own schedule. :D
 
My wife got me these for Christmas...

OK, we cheated just a little. I picked them out & we bought them in November, but I'd rather have my Christmas present early than late.

This showed up under the tree for me. I first noticed it at First Stop Guns in Rapid City, and evidently the wife took notice. Funny I was in the store a week or so prior to Christmas to fondle it again, and was really disappointed to see it gone. Shocked when it appeared under the tree. Very pleased. Very pleased indeed.

MY sweet wife got me a Lyn Man ultrasonic cleaner and 2 bottle of cleaning fluid. When the fluid got hot it took me 10 Min's to clean 250 rounds of 223 and no noise. Then wrench dry 10 Min's. Was done in 20 Min's. Wife ask me why I came back to the house. DONE DONE I wish now I had got one before now.
 
my wife doesnt work so i tell her to just get junk for our 2 and 3 year old kids. ever hit the 1$ aisle at walmart you can get a lot of stuff. spent more on wrapping paper and time wrapping each of those little gifts individually for the kids. she did get me a book about meat butchering and a 2011 gun catalog guide.

i bought about 8 gun this year so i dont make a stink about the lack of anything nice. Today though i did buy myself a NIB Glock 19, a guy bought it 3 weeks ago and decided he wanted a .40 instead so i got it for less than he paid and no sales tax since it was PPT. sales tax runs almost 10% in my county so thats over 50$ savings off new retail. will allow me to buy a couple boxes of premium ammo...
 
I did from my wife! - An annual range membership to the best range in town ... I will definitely get out and shoot more this year - so this is the best gift!
 
$75 toward that S&W Model 18-2 I had been eyeing at the local shop.
Bought it three days after Christmas!
 
Coal Dragger -- Holy Smokes!! You are a lucky man.

Don't be suprised if you start seeing Tiffany's catalogs showing up unexpectedly in your mailbox... :)
 
Perfect gift

My wife got me a taurus raging judge for christmas. 6.5 inch lug barrel. Shoots like a dream!
 
My wife gave me the season 4 DVD of M*A*S*H, the newest Demon Hunter CD, and several of the Jim Butcher Codex Alera books. Now that's good watching, listening, and reading. :neener:

I really don't want my wife buying me a gun for a Christmas or Birthday present. Truth is, I'm kind of picky about what I like.
 
Got a chance to take the 5906 to the range. After firing it I'm convinced it was never fired before. Really cool. Great shooter too.
 
Jon,

Nice to see that its a good shooter.

To answer the question my wife bought me some reloading equipment and a nice new Redfield scope.

A great xmas for me.
