Well not the 12 days of Christmas, more like the prior 12 days before Christmas in my case. Most items were bought since December 11th and ending just his past Thursday the 21st. Exception is the two pistol/magazine cases I received the day before Black Friday, bought at Classic Firearms on sale for $49 (so I had to buy 2). Each case holds 5 handguns and numerous magazines. Next my orders of the Ruger SFAR 20" 308 and threaded barrel Echelon finally arrived (the 16" SFAR version is almost non existence in these parts, but I already own a SA M1a SOCOM 16" 308 w/Archangel stock, so I went with the 20" SFAR which I ordered on 5/16/23). I waited awhile for the threaded barrel Echelon (on order since 7/15/23), but it was worth the wait. While at the LGS for these pickups, I spied a SIG DH3 P320 that looked awesome, so I asked them to hold it for a week+ to pay off some CCs first. So down I headed on 12/21 to LGS, and those of you that know me know I wouldn't stop there 
, so they show me the Rock Island Armory M1911A2 FS-TAC 10mm 16 round capacity. Well some may remember I bought the non TAC RIA 10mm version back in September, so I'll include the picture of it to compare to the TAC version. Then (and I can thank my good buddy @Annihilator for this ), I pestered them (after they try to entice me with a S&W 44mag Stealth Hunter which I already own), why am I not seeing any Taurus Raging Hunters (specically 454 Casull 6" and over that I wanted), and the sales guy says there's one at the other store. Thinking is was going to be over $1K, I asked them to call to find the caliber, barrel size and price. Well it was a 460S&W 8.375" barrel for about $850, so I said tell them to send it over and I'd take it (I'll be able to fire the 454 Casull and 45 Colt cartridges from it as well). Turns out the owner of the two stores was coming over to the one I shop at, so he brought it with him (man, my credit cards are burning in my wallet 
). To complete my pre Christmas purchases, I picked up a SIG Tango MSR 1-6x24 FFP LPVO for the Ruger SFAR, and Crossbreed holster for my S&W CSX (ankle holster), Reckoning for my S&W PC Shield Plus 4" w/ CT optic and a Multiflex holster (compact) that fits numerous firearms (in my case my SIG P365 Xmacro, but it would also fit the Shield plus and many others I probably have). All those guns pictured with the holster were bought previously. Well, I think that will do me for the year (2023), unless another order trickles in before 1/1/2024
