I've only bought a few on impulse. Well, maybe half of them.
But the rest were well thought out purchases, I promise

I am sitting here with the 'authorization' from the Maryland State Police that allows me to purchase another handgun. Do I actually NEED another handgun? I received my 30 year chip from AA last month (yes I am 'one of them') but I can't ever seem get a one year from Ruger.
I did that with the RXM. When they came out, I really liked the looks and the reports about them. I said, "It's really nice but I really don't need another 9mm". This went on for a month or so. Then one day I was on Davidsons site doing some research for a customer and I looked at the RXM's again. I said to myself, "You know, I really do like it and the dealer price is really good AND IT IS A RUGER" I now own a Ruger RXM 
And in all acuality, I have not bought a new or used firearm since Tulsa, and that one; 1. Was rare and fit into my Ruger DA collection very well and 2. It was a good price. I know, I know, just justifying to myself the purchase .

The only "chips" I want to earn are at the Blackjack table! Preferably the purple ones!
Here's my story. I was almost 62 and my company I worked for was bought out and we were all being let go and we had a 6 months severance package. That was a bad combination because I had all that time to roam the gun forums. I would read conversations about a gun that wasn't even on my radar screen and all of a sudden I was out looking for one. Didn't take long for me to realize "uh oh Houston, we got a problem". 
It's good that you have a trained pallbearer on hand. It's been nice knowing you.....I jokingly told my Wife recently when we were out with friends a person should have just as many guns as they are years old.......I'm 60 and her reply was "then you look great for being in your 90's"
Funny thing is three of them picked me up off the deck a couple Fridays ago when I crashed my face into my front porch....It's good that you have a trained pallbearer on hand. It's been nice knowing you.....
This has "tripped" me up on multiple occasions. So do discussions or mentions of some rounds.
You've got the authorization. You have to use it. It"s the law.
The whole "good price" thing is my downfall. I'm still haunted by the $259 OM Super Single Six at the local shop. I haven't been back there since I saw it because I know if it's still there I'll buy it. I don't really want it (6 1/2", not a favorite) and I surely don't need it- but $259!!!
It's an addiction, an obsession, what more can I say? I too went down the RXM rabbit hole yesterday. The new American Rifleman came with an article…and I was promptly looking up what parts interchanged with a G19, and checked out leather, and magazines, which led to looking at 9mm PCC's, which led to looking at the Henry Homesteader with a Glock adapter. Luckily Amazon interrupted my research…they delivered a couple of stainless hinges for swinging pistol mounts in my safe, because I'm out of room! But it doesn't end there…
While in my safe I was looking at all my HK's. My daily carry, P2000SK, was jabbing me in the ribs a bit. So I tried on all my holsters and corresponding pistols, one by one, and came to the conclusion that I needed a thinner EDC- because I saw that HK has a new gun, the CC9, that is their most compact yet. More research…
Finally my wife came home from the DR and reminded me that I needed to move more bales of hay and bring in more firewood. Well, that snapped me out of my blissful research. I decided that it would be better all around if I just lost a few lbs…the EDC was fine when I wasn't quite so round.
Of course, that was all yesterday. Today is a new day… and I need to get those hinged mounts built…

Must.... put.... down..... bourbon..... bottle....Funny thing is three of them picked me up off the deck a couple Fridays ago when I crashed my face into my front porch....
That's the even funnier thing......no bourbon involved.....just three measly Dos Equis Amber drafts
.....the bourbon came after they got me up the stairs and in my chair....

I did something even riskier then buying a brand new Ruger product, I bought (gasp), a new Kel Tec, and I mean a whole new design, the polymer frame P15. But that was just over $220 something as a PSA Deal of the day. Like ok, it WORKS, has functional sights and the magazine holds 12 or 15, with a Glock shaped extension. As a truck gun, it's perfect.I did that with the RXM. When they came out, I really liked the looks and the reports about them. I said, "It's really nice but I really don't need another 9mm". This went on for a month or so. Then one day I was on Davidsons site doing some research for a customer and I looked at the RXM's again.

What's the best we're seeing on the RXM, $389 or so? I have a little bit of mad money set aside (until my $5000 check shows up
), so a sale priced RXM could get my attention, I'll need to invent some logistical need for it, but I'm pretty good at that.

Last summer I lost my job so decided to stop buying guns. That lasted until I went to a yard sale and looked at an antique .22 pre serial number single shot. Mossberg in excellent condition. Casually asked the price and the guy says I'd have at least $40 for it but Ill throw in the case! When they practically give them to you, what can you do? Then I found a new job and started looking again. Medical bills are actually slowing things down now but it can't keep me from trading!
My LGS calls me also, but on ANY Ruger that comes in!!

Just send me the address of the pawn shop. That won't be a problem for long
