    I checked the difference in 64 vs 67 On drawing SS. I wouldn’t break even until 79. So if I knew I would live a lot longer than that, I would wait. But Dad died at 78, so… who knows.

    We need pics.
    It's unfortunate that it's already been lost in a boating accident but it WAS a nice piece. Several Nighthawks and Wilsons as well as a Platypus has passed through my hands over the years and this was fitted as well, if not better than any of them.

    I do like a Commander, and definitely like a bobtail.

    Sad that it had to meet a watery grave.

    I can COBRA my work benefits until Medicare and I have save enough in my HSA to cover it. I figured I gotta use that money for something why not this
    Starting next month I am going to stop with my medicare benefits and piggyback off my bestie as a Domestic Partner for 50 bucks a month and get her BCBS medical.

    Congrats Expat! I am thrilled for you!

    My dad died at 63, so I retired at 55.

    Never having met in person, but knowing you online for quite a few years, I’d say the Citori is the obvious choice. It’s the one you would use and enjoy the most.

    More importantly, what’s for breakfast? :lmfao:

    Congrats Expat, enjoy your free time and picking from that list is a tough choice.

    For me it would be the Citori especially in 20 gauge.
    I've always thought 20s handled so much nicer than 12s when talking overunders.

    My original date was going to be May 1st this year but decided to work one more, but absolutely no longer.

    So I am retiring a bit earlier than planned. I plan on waiting 1.5 years to start drawing on my SS and pension, which will be age 65. I will need to tighten the belt a little bit. But I thought before I tighten it too much, I should get myself a congratulatory gift.
    Things I am considering:
    H&K USP Expert .45
    H&K MR762a1
    Galil Ace 2 5.56
    Citori 20g

    I am not sure which of these I need most or if there is something else that I might need even more...
    Congrats; I retired three years ago and highly recommend it.
    If you're not working and don't have standing commitments you may begin to forget what day of the week it is.
    That's OK. My motto has been "Every Day is Saturday"

    They're all good guns. Buy the one that looks the coolest to your eye and makes you want to pick it up and shoot. This is a decision for the heart not the head.

    It looks like general consensus is the Citori. I will like get try to get the same model as the 16 g that I had bought last year. Pics to follow. And yes, it will get used.

    Thanks everyone for the congratulations and kind words. You’re a great bunch.
    I know it’s probably a drive for you but check out Indiana Gun Club for anything shotgun related. Very knowledgeable and usually an excellent selection of quality guns in stock. I found my Beretta there when they were unobtainium. They have a great selection of other guns as well and decent prices.
