Sons 18th birthday present

[tercel89]

I know everyone has seen a Glock 17 but I bought this several years ago used  , oiled it up , stored it away for my son, and now today is the day :no1:  My son is 18 years old today and we are so proud of him ! He has awesome grades in school and in 2 months will be going to college to become a history teacher . He has never gotten in trouble , has gotten great grades , and just a great son . When he was smaller he would watch me shoot and he loved it . I got him a small Marlin bolt-action single shot 22LR . He did great . He learned to shoot my Glock 22 and my personal Glock 17 . He loved them . He even has wanted me to show him how to reload 9mm  and we are in the beginning stages of that . So when he gets home from school today , his Mom , Sister , and I have an awesome surprise for him  ! I am so excited for him . He has no idea about this . I am so excited to see his face that it's like I am the one getting a present ! Sorry to ramble on and just wanted to share .

Wow, very cool present for a cool kid. Well done dad.

Sweet! Happy birthday to your son.

Wish your son a Happy Birthday from me as well, buddy! Mine is coming up this week and I sure wish(I think) I was that young again.

 

Sounds like you've raise a fine, strong young man. I can read into this and see how proud you are of him.

 

Congratulations on a job well done!

 

Please let us know his reaction. Maybe a pic, if you have no reservations on it. But that's now a necessity.

Congrats on raising a great kid and on being a great parent. Kinda goes hand in hand imho.. :pleased:

 

Happy Birthday to your son.

Happy Birthday! Sounds like you should be very proud of your son, as he should be of you too.

I won't even be there and I'm excited! :lol: What an awesome present, I'm sure he's gonna love it. Tell him Happy Birthday!

[Grand Torino]

Congratulations on getting a great kid. I hope his future remains bright. I've seen kids raised by great parents turn bad before so anytime one turns out like yours it's a true blessing. Congratulations to you both.

Well Done for your Son, and your entire family!

1. Happy Birthday to your son.

2. That's a cool gift.

3. How would you like to adopt a Granddad and buy him gifts like this.

Thanks guys . He was thrilled . He's learning to detail detail strip it now. I kinda wanted him to start out on one of my old Ruger P-Series to understand the conventional double action/single action semi-autos but he loved shooting the Glock 17 in the past so that is what I went with . He has shot my P-Series and likes them but seems to like the Glock slightly better. 

 I had always kept a Glock 22 hidden in the house to where him and me knew where it was in case of emergency . Now he has his own pistol to get out in case of emergency .

congrats to you sir, and your son!
