Got A new DW Guardian... and lost it in one day!
No pictures yet, we just came back from the range. YES... I said "WE".... my wife Grace and I headed over to the range this morning. I shoot regularly, Grace shoots sporadically. There always seems to be "something" else that has to be done... you know?
So.... yesterday I stopped at Dave Severns and picked up a brand new DW Guardian in 9mm. Brought it home, told Grace about it while her girlfriend was visiting (so I wouldn't catch hell)... her girlfriend said that she wants to learn to shoot and Grace says "Mike and I will teach you".... After the friend leaves... I said "uhhhh... hun.... sweetheart.... dear... you haven't shot in a good six months. Do you think we should go tomorrow so that you can refamiliarize yourself with the guns?" AND SHE SAID YES. Went to the range this morning.... she shot the Charter Arms 22, the Browning Buckmark... then I handed her her old trusty 38 snub nose. You know... the one that kicks like a mule? uh huh.... THEN I handed her my brand new Guardian. Big mistake! She fired 3 mags.... looked at me and said "I like this. I want this. Thank you for buying it for me." Then on the way home... I heard her say "Now I understand why you like the DW 1911 so much. I never knew..." Yup, she now owns a (MY) brand new DW Guardian, and I'm allowed to use it occasionally. I did tell her.... "NO pink grips. Period." So that's my story about how I got a brand new Guardian and lost it in one day. Here is Grace's target at 21 feet. Balls 1,9,4 and 10 were with the Guardian. Ball #2 was with my 45 cal CCO.  Gun pics to follow.

I won't belabor the fact that the new one is a Dan Wesson Guardian in 9mm. Many of us here have a 9mm 1911. So... here's the picture.
 BELOW IS PROOF THAT A.) THERE IS A GOD. and B.) THE EXISTENCE OF A TRINITY CAN BE PROVEN. Shown are my three DW's. Top is a 2004 Patriot in .45. Below that is a CCO with custom grips from Esmarelda, and the newest addition to the stable.... MY MY MY (no not hers.... but I'll let her think that) Guardian in 9mm.  And for those of us who have spouses that get pissed off when we leave the table dirty after cleaning.... a small tip: If you noticed, the pad that the pistols are on is a "doggy wee wee pad." Soft material that is completely solvent proof. Nothing soaks through to the counter/table/etc. At least not at my house. You use it, roll it up and toss it. Done. Give it a try! Da
