Wife's Valentines Presents came in Today

I picked up 2 of these for her to hide in the house where she wants them, I have a multi level home and she already has several Pistols and Revolvers for carry and target shooting...but I figure these can go on separate levels and be there as quick man stoppers if needed.

Loaded with PDX self defense loads and alternating with 255 gr 45 colt and 000 Buck should stop anything if needed.

Nothing quite say's I love you like a pair of matching revolvers

Pretty nice gift Lary! Tho I have to say I'm surprised how many of you married guys still get your wives Valentines gifts. I mean, what's the point? They're already your wife, you don't need to 'court' them anymore!

Well I can't speak for the other married guys but in my case it is a matter of giving my Sweet Pea ANYTHING she wants simply because she earned it 10 times over Well that and I want her to feel safe in our home.

My wife NEVER asks for anything, she just gets up and goes to work everyday to the same place she has been working for the past 38 yrs...I don't know how she does it.......she doesn't have to, she could retire tomorrow but not my place to make that decision for her.

She is a one of a kind, putting up with me over the years could NOT have been easy

NICE!!! The Judge will let her be jury and executioner if an intruder dares cross her path.

That's about the shortest shotgun that I've ever seen. How does it shoot? Major recoil?

JUDGE is a NICE PIECE !!!! Recoil is NOT BAD . . I considered getting one, but bought a SA XDm 45acp Compact 3.8 instead. I have a 20ga Moss pistol grip (or three) in strategic places in the house . .

And VALENTINES DAY is just not about courting, it's that special day for BOTH to be a Valentine to each other . . Get out those RED candles, RED boxers, and RED flimsy things and ENJOY each other !!!!

Recoil isn't bad on these, I got the compensated model so it has 8 holes in the top of the barrel redirecting muzzle blast up and back just a tad, that with the weight of a large frame it controls nicely

I like the S&W Governor better, same design but a few more dollars...I got these for $349.00 each and it would have cost a bit more for the S&W's...not worth it to me for hidey guns

I don't go cheap on a carry weapon but these will stay warm, clean and dry as long as we are alive....how my Grandkids will treat them when they inherit them will all depend on how good a job I do teaching them the fundamentals of firearm care.

My wife and I are on a mutual agreement on this also. She gives me a simple Valentines "I love you' and I return the same. No need for cards or flowers.

I too was surprised at how low the recoil was on these. We were shooting #4 bird and 255 gr. colts. I was expecting the recoil to be close to a 454 casual. Wasn't a whole lot different then a 357 mag. IMO. Sweet guns!!!

Well at least Lary gives practical gifts instead of phrilly crap that'll be forgotten in a week.

As for myself, I believe nothing says 'I Love You' like a chainsaw!

Because you have a twisted, sick mind.

Some guys like seeing their wives in that "phrilly crap".
