Anyway, she is a beauty. Thanks pops!

And Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday to me.

Is your dad considering adopting any new children any time soon? Where does one apply?
Nice gun.

WOW! Your dad sure set the bar high for next year! My dad gave me a slap on the back and told me to drag the christmas tree out of his truck and to set it up for my mom!

VERY nice, indeed! You're a lucky man to have a dad who loves you that much.
Yes, dads know how to do it right. I ordered
ONE OF THESE yesterday for my son for Christmas. I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Then I've got to figure out where to hide the box until Christmas day.
I wish I could find the video clip from A Christmas Story where Ralphie finally gets his Red Rider BB Gun from where it is hidden behind the desk.

My son is getting an XD-40,my daughter an SP-101 in .357, helping out on son-in-laws DPMS Sportical .308 and wife is getting Sig P238 .380.
If I don't get a pistol for xmas would rocks as gifts next year be appropriate?

Thanks guys! He is a keeper of a Dad for sure

I won't ever forget this Christmas thats for sure. My dad has been a Colt fan for his entire life, and I think his eyes lit up just as much as mine when he gave it to me! He gave up a Colt Ace, Colt 1911 (true WW1 vintage from great-grandfather), and a Colt Hamerless .380 to fund the .50BMG so I know it was torture to be getting this as a gift instead of for him. Now he got bit BAD by the 1911 bug cause he went the same day to go finger a Colt Defender.

Luckily for me, he still needs to replace the Colt AR he gave up a couple years back

Very Very nice. Bought my son a Marlin lever action .357 rifle in stainless. Guns are great gifts.
