@Markbsae Has never bought a gun "For Her".
Married guys do this to get it by the ol'Lady.
It's best to get possession of these before the divorce.

I have the voice of experience on this subject.
Albeit not guns quite as expensive as the Barrett and SBR.
I just had my 30yr anniversary yesterday. The wife certainly has plenty of guns I enjoy but they're genuinely hers and she knows what do do with them. Tuesday she was hitting 750 yards with her R700 in 22-250. She does like 1911's but I overlook that! She's been wanting a PS90 but the rule is she can't have anything cooler than I do!

Uh, what? You get mama what she wants and then you get whatever you think is cooler than that. My kids can figure that out…

She is more into cars. That's why she has a Shelby GT350. She's happy. I definitely got that for "her" :eek:)
If she has 1911s, that ship has sailed.
They were certainly an excellent design for their time but I personally have no interest in owning a heavy, not easily concealed single action pistol that holds 7+1. They have the best break on any trigger at the range but I'd never carry one. I'm far more into modern pistols.

In my defense, I started with 1911s before the internet. No one told us they were too heavy or big to carry concealed so here I am 50 years later.

Over the past several years I competed with a Sig for the capacity. Shot just enough to maintain proficiency with 1911s. Just for grins last week I set up a mini stage (12 rounds) and ran it five times each with a Sig and my carry 1911. Almost 0.5 second faster average with the archaic overweight fudd gun.

They’re great at the range. I’m 5’6” and carrying one would be miserable for me. It would do me no good if I didn’t bring it with me. If something bad goes down I want to start off with 10 or 16, not 8.
