Wedding gift delivered early

[bbfan]

Hello all,

I had a big surprise this past week. My fiancé decided to give me my wedding gift early. It’s a new production 6” s&w 586. Yesterday while visiting family we took it out to the farm for its inaugural shooting. I’ve been shooting so much 44 mag over the past few years I’d forgotten how much fun 357 was. I’ve gotta give it to S&W. The factory trigger was actually pretty good. I was able to keep a clover leaf at 15 yards double action with it. Pictures are on the way.

Love the Smith 586s. Great 357s. Congratulations, she must love and trust you a lot to purchase a handgun for your wedding present! This is where the big SMILE emoji goes!

Thank you, this will be my second and her first. No I didn’t learn the first time but I wasn’t letting this girl out of my sight. God works in funny ways sometimes.

HAH! IF, and I do mean IF I ever lose my wife, I am becoming a hermit in the middle of my ranch. If FedEx dont deliver it, I dont need it.
Sometimes I think of what would it have been like had I married some of my ex-girlfriends... then my hand starts reaching for my model 60 Smith... LOL. No thank you.

This is my first marriage and my wife's second. I dont regret it at all. How many husbands can say they are a tax write off for their wife and she doesn't say anything when I buy a new firearm? And my stepson is as much my son as my own biological son. I may not have made him but I damn sure take him. Hate to think of how he would have turned out if his dad had stayed in the picture. I had two opportunities to legally kill his father, sometimes it saddens me I didn't take the chance I was given; sometimes not. (I know it would have made my son hate me for it so I am glad I didn't.)

I wish you both 100 years of happiness together. May God bless you and your future family.

As a man who was raised by a stepfather who has earned the name dad time after time, thank you. I once heard that being a parent is the toughest job in the world. Nope, stepparent beats it by miles. I hope to some day be half the man my father is.
