Tax Pistols
Hi all,
Was just curious if anyone was planning on using some of the money Uncle Sam so graciously gave back to us on a handgun? I've got a few ideas floating around in that brain of mine. Right now I am looking at a competition Mk III for kicks and giggles: http://www.impactguns.com/ruger-kmki...676101122.aspx Anyone else got some plans? -TR

Yea buddy, first year filing jointly with the wife. If I'd known how much more I would get back I would have gotten married sooner!

Wow. Been married for two years, owed money both times. Very very disappointing. Hopefully it will be corrected this year!

Just remember, the spouse also gets a share of the tax return to enjoy.
I did a fair job of tax planning this past year. I did not get enuff back to buy a new toy. Kevin, I hope you didn't owe much. Zero-ing in at either the minimum amount owed or received back indicates your ability to shoot a bullseye. |

Okay, while I appreciate the tax lesson, this is a gun forum . Would rather talk about that.

Mine will be belated, but it will be my Sig 1911 Nightmare Carry, and Ruger SR40c. The Ruger being more of a welcome home from deployment, but either way its a new addition!

For as much as I paid, the government should be sending me a gun.

I technically didn't buy any pistols with my refund, but I did pick up two Ruger SP101 revolvers. One chambered in 327 mag and the other in 22.

I bought a Sig P226 Tac Ops with part of my return. Nice shooting gun--only have about 100 rounds thru it so far though.

I had money saved up for a new .22 target pistol, but the government "graciously" took the money from me.

That’s what I did ever year. I tried to set it up so that I would get enough back for a nice gun.
Then an occurrence took place in my life that stopped all of that, including a Christmas present gun to myself and one for the company profit check each year and birthday and 4 of July. Got married 10 years ago. Any further explanation is not necessary,,, right?

Mine was a Springfield XD45 Compact. Been meaning to get something to carry that started with a '4'
I actually started "saving" for this gun through my Backup Withholding. Started taking an extra $40 dollars a paycheck out to put aside for taxes. Best case Scenario: I would have extra leftover/bigger return. Worst Case Scenario: I would have paid so much extra in taxes that even if I would normally owe, I would actually owe much less. Luckily for me, it turned out to be the former

Loved your beagle tale, Lunger ... mine will eat anything that isn't nailed down, including dust bunnies, bottle tops and rose petals ... and it's not like we starve him; the vet is always hounding me (no pun intended of course) to put him on a diet ...
we got a refund this year for the first time in many moons, but it won't be fetching any firearms; my true love says we need new carpet in the living room ... I went out last week and bought a Ruger LCR in .22 magnum as a protest ... with my own money ... sigh ...

M&P Shield in 9mm for my wife, and my first 1911 (Citadel, made by Rock Island).
Good stuff! |

After all that, I bought 2 boxes of 460s&w @ $35 each. They used the part they kept to buy votes against my rights.

That MK 3 is a fine pistol. I had a MK 2 for a while but did not like how finicky it was on ammunition. I traded for a Ruger single six 22lr/mag with a 9.5 in barrel and could not be happier.

Still haven't spent any of our return yet, but thinking of buying an FNH FNX 45 to go with the FNP9 I have. The 45 will replace the SAR K2-45 I currently carry on duty. Nothing wrong with the SAR, but I wouldn't mind lighting up the duty belt just a bit, and not lose capacity or caliber.
