New Sig M400 enhanced - How ya tell the wife?

[02roadster]

Gents & Ladies... Just bought a Sig Sauer M400 Enhanced at Rural King. Been on my "bucket list" for awhile. Price was $1099, so I thought it was a great price for the weapon given the current market. Bottom line: I havn't told "Her" about it yet. Any thoughts of how to break it in?

Break in?

Shoot it. A lot.

Clean. Repeat. Frequently.

I won it in a raffle? Works once in a while

Sounds about right

It was on sale, look how much money I saved

Exactly what I was thinking! Great minds think alike!

How about the oldie but goody:

"This old thing? I've had it forever!"

 

[02roadster]

Yep! That's the ticket I've used for years. Seems to work as a general rule. Open for more suggestions... Thanks!

Tell her its FOR HER, but you will be breaking it in and getting things adjusted. That should take about 4k rounds at least.

"I won it in a raffle.....yeah the ticket only cost $1099 pretty good deal really"

Yeah...A friend of mine pulled that one with a shotgun until his EX WIFE found the receipt in his pockets.

 

[danielson]

Tell her you borrowed it from shaynster

I have a good friend that always pays half in cash and asks for receipt of cc charge to cover the rest. When asked he can produce receipt that's 50% better than normal. That's only if he can't
hide the box and make the gun disappear into the safe.

 

[Dobber]

If she throws a fit hold up your marriage license and say, "But Dear I have to have a receipt for returns....and I only kept this one."

Completely joking.

By letting her see a picture of my son using it at the range . . . 'course she was already my ex at that point.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

If she notices it, then you sir clearly don't have enough.

 

[10mmfan]

Show her the price of the hk mr556 or LWRC m6 or REPR you "really" wanted. The sig will seem like a bargain and you might even get a compliment for being a smart shopper.

 

[02roadster]

All good approaches, thanks!

From a distance

 

[jrogers]

Am I crazy for thinking that impulse buying firearms without discussing it with your wife is a bad idea unless you have funds explicitly set aside for "fun?"

Maybe this is why I don't have an overflowing safe.
