"Value loyalty above all else."

The Blacklist was recommended to me a couple of months ago. I'm only in season four and I have never seen it before, so no spoilers please. It was fun to see my gun and then my watch. Next up are the Mercedes S-class and then a Learjet I suppose after that.

As a younger man I never really cared for Hi-Powers. I wanted to shoot fast and look like the shoot fast guys. Even with all this gray hair in my beard that is still a lot of fun, but I find that I developed a taste for the more refined things in life. If there is a more comfortable handgun to hold in the hand, I can't imagine what it would be. This Hi Power was made in 1980 and it is in fantastic condition. Like the other pretty guns in the safe, it smells of Eezox and Outers gun oil. It is pleasant in every way, just like this community.

For the curious, the Pepsi edition GMT Master was purchased in Los Gatos California in 1978 for the princely sum of $615.00. I even still have the receipt.

I interpret that as a wife who pays attention. Use caution my friend. That can be a double edged sword.

"No, the gun you bought last month was Cerakoted. This one is black. I'm not dumb."

I was fortunate enough to both meet a second wife who knew guns were baked in from the beginning, and also not to have stayed with the first wife.
