Santa was planning to deliver coal to me so I had to go supply my own presents.

I got a couple mag holders, an ATACS hat, shirt, pants & plate carrier, a Desantis holster (basket weave) for my FNP-45, some mechanix gloves, a couple 5.11 shorts and some cleaning supplies. All useful stuff! :)

Now if I could only win the 50 caliber rifle for my birthday all would be well.

For me, yep...but only one handgun. A Dan Wesson 44. I had two a couple of years ago, sold one then the other and regretted the last sale. This just replaces it.

I got another NEF Ultra slug gun which I've already rechambered to 3.75" and am using a new Blammy buckshot shell. It's the same .50BMG case blown out to .730 as my .730 DDR, but this one is shortened to three and three quarter inches. It will hold 3- .700 caliber round balls instead of the 1200 gr slug the DDR uses.

The first batch are loaded, I just need to get to the range to test them.

Freakin' photos or none of this happened.......

Not sure what photos but I'm assuming (that word again) the tri balls...Here are a few:

Holy smokes... that's a beauty!

Thanks for following the unwritten law of gun forums: if you post about a new gun, you post pictures! (hint, hint)

I wish I had something to post about this year, but Santa's budget constraints meant he focused on the kids this year.

Santa didn't get to make all of the deliveries he wanted.

Looks like a lot of fun and perhaps a bit painful to shoot :^). I'm always impressed by the size of the hole a slug makes in a piece of paper. Even with my bad eyesight I can see where it hit from a distance.

FL424 for the EMP

Santa swooped in and dropped off a FL424 for my EMP 40. Have to say, nicest holster I've strapped on in a while.
