Aww! Common guys.

Didn't anybody get a camera from santa to take photos of your stocking goodies.

A "Wixey" digital angle gauge and a couple of router bits for me, also a pair of "Mag-lite torches . Apparently the Jet 18" bandasw and 8" Jointer in September counts as chrissy presents, so I am not complaining.
I hope you all had a good day .

G'day All.
I must have been good this year .

Santy left a in-car fridge, a new wallet and a new Holster for my Glock Racegun .

Life is goooooood....Eh?

[againstthegrain]

... and a new Holster for my Glock Racegun .

Life is goooooood....Eh?

Ooooh! Very nice mate!

The last 'Racegun' I owned in the US was a Springfield frame custom 45 ACP that I must admit I couldn't drive quite as well as some of the other shooters from the club to which I belonged.

I miss the Thursday night action shoots at the local club as well as the annual Knob Creek MG shoots, but here it is certainly a different country and a different culture indeed!




(Yep, nothin' like a mini.)


BTW, I carried a Model 19 Glock during the 5 years I worked for the local Sheriff's office and I found that it was an accurate, durable and reliable firearm. I just wish we had had access to the 40 S&W for duty carry.

Glad to hear you had a great Christmas.

Nothing really major (about to move houses!!!), but the Outlaws gave me a leather chisel roll, which I filled with my Titan bevel chisels this arvo (after sharpening them all).
