If you really want to piss her off, go down the rabbit hole of 6mm cartridges and decide that 6mm Remington AI is definitely the way to go. Any ridiculous venture worth doing is worth doing right.
Then search for me on YouTube. She might find that amusing, or at least distracting.

Not another dime.
Having watched The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Horse Soldiers this week, now I want a SAA again. I've sold everyone I've ever had because I can't see the sights very well. Then there's the whole "regulate the sights to one load" thing which I don't do because I don't stick to one load. An Uberti Flat Top is a possible solution if I decide to jump this way. Then I have to settle on a caliber and barrel length which is a whole new kettle of fish.
An even more irrational desire is for an 1862 Police which has even worse sights than the typical SAA...

I’m going to go out on a limb and say I’ve discovered a legit way to scratch the PPK/s itch.
Hold the phone- the PRT 32 pistol in 7.62x39 may just be the ticket!

I’ve never had more than passing curiosity in bolt guns of any kind. And I have no place nearby to shoot longer than 100 yards. But I recently learned of Q’s The Fix and damn I want one of these! Ideally the 6.5CM with 16” bbl.

Was out shooting with a friend, I pulled out the Portuguese G3, he said "Oh cool! I want one!" Then I shot it and he started backing farther away muttering. He wasnt sure he wanted to shoot it but was sure he didnt want one. That was seriously the worst aspect of those guns. The H-K 91 muzzle widget wasnt any better.
Funny, it was one of the things I had to sell to pay bills, and I dont miss it.

I got a chance to fiddle with a stock Rami BD, and got it out of my system. It's still a cool gun, and the trigger out of the box was really nice. But it's actually bigger than I remember--especially the width of the grip. The ergos don't fit me me like a glove like the P-07 and Shadow2 do.
So... what are my irrational firearm desires now? Honestly, I've been selling handguns I don't use, and can't think of anything I want other than maybe another P-07.
But how about a rifle?
ARC Archimedes action, 6.5 PRC. ARC Xylo Chassis. Proof carbon barrel. NF ATACR. I can dream...
I have a hard on for a CZ Rami from CGW. I totally don’t need one. But...

Now that’s my kinda crazy stupid . . . almost enough to make me get a powerball ticket.

I shot a buddies 12” full auto FAL Para ONCE. One magazine of that was fucking sufficient for me to determine .308 from a <18-20” barre is a big nope.
