Got the wife a present on Friday (and something for me too!)

So I had a Ruger Mini 14 on layaway went to pay on it Friday. In the time I have had it on layaway two things have happened, prices have started dropping which put me in a position where I was overpaying for it, and I realized that I needed to get my wife a gun before I got myself a toy. While I was talking to the guy at the store about this he informed me that if I wanted to I could take what I had in the Mini 14 and apply it towards another gun since I hadn't completed paying for it, awesome. I walked out of the store with a new Taurus Slim for the Mrs. and had enough left over to get myself a Mossberg 500 after throwing in about $150 more. WOOT!

Good deal and nice pickup for both you.

The Mossberg is a fine weapon and will serve you well. Almost as many "toys" are available for it as there are it's Remington 870 counterpart.

Interested in hearing what your wife thinks about the Slim (or you if you get a chance to shoot it.)

Congrats on the new weapons!

I like the Slim. Let us know how it shoots soon.

Going to the range tonight. If anyone is heading to range USA I'm the bearded ginger dude with the woman much prettier than he deserves.

Well we just got back from the range and I would say things went well. Out of 100 rounds put down range had two FTE's. The wife finds the grip a tad uncomfortable, going to try a rubber slip on grip. I didn't mind the grip but I prefer a more aggressive stipling than she does, soft lady hands an all. She is right next to me so that last line was for her, hehe. Recoil was very manageable with very little muzzle flip. Accuracy was very good, I would say the slim shoots better than either of us do. Gotta give it a provisional thumbs up so far, though we will see after another couple of hundred rounds if the FTE's continue.
