Geepondy....yes I actually did save money by buying there. I really didn't intend on getting it. It was an anniversary gift from my wife. Ended up saving about 650.00 and declared it and everything and didn't get popped for taxes on it when I came home. Kinda surprised me really, guess the customs people were just in a good mood that day.
tigerhawk....if you end up going with the freedom arms pistol you will not be disappointed. they are climbing in price now though, I gave $1500.00 for that one, they are almost 2K now! They don't even make that model anymore, the 50 AE. It's fun to take to the indoor range, you get some silly teens down there shooting a 12 ga just giggling away at the big boom while everyone else is popping off their 9mm's and stuff.....the suddenly there is a horrendous bang and they come to investigate and there I am shooting big nasty
Always a crowd pleaser! The 500 s&w is a hoss, get the 7" version at the least, you'll need it.
Oh, and I did check up on it, it's real. The cruise line has this guarantee form good for 30 days, if you buy diamonds lets say, take them to the jeweler to get mounted and they say hey these are fake, the cruise line has a re-imbursement guarantee to take care of you. So naturally a friend of mine is a jeweler and I took it to him two days after I got home and he said without a doubt the real deal. Plus it's so dang heavy, that's usually a dead giveaway. My Rolex datejust is a brick, and so is this one.
Thanks everyone for the comments on the watch!
