Recently retired(for the 2nd and last time) and received this from my former boss as a going away gift. Beats getting a watch?

Don't forget hearing protection. These are fun guns.

Great gift! The hand cannons are great fun to mix in at the range.
That could/will make a fun hunting gun as well. Have fun!

All I want to know is, where do I go to apply as your replacement?

Yeah, wow!

Careful -- that retirement gift "ticks" a little louder than most... :)

This was from my former boss, who retired 2 years ago. The reason I retired is because of the boss that replaced him.

You wouldn't want the job under the present conditions :bang:

Ah, I hear ya. I guess I can't complain: I work at a place with about 150 employees and there's not one of them that I can't stand. That's pretty good, even if I only get an attaboy certificate when I retire.

I think that is the closest handgun for a "One Stop Shot". :shock:

Very cool retirement gift. Enjoy it.

I'm sure I could make a holster for it... but of course I would get to shoot a cylinder of ammo. :D

Actually, (and I only say this because I am a bitter, cynical husk of a man who gave his own life to MotherEFFEN Manufacturing and Mining), but if your boss is like some of the ones I had, he may have given you those BRUTAL 440 grain factory loads, and is hoping the barrel clocks you hard enough so that he won't have to pay out any pension or healthcare benefits at all.

Actually, I'm EFFEN jealous that any company would care that much about an employee to give them a gift like that. &^%*^)*&^&_((*&

Congrats!!

It wasn't a "company" gift. It was a personal gift from my former boss who retired 2 years ago. I won't even mention the "company" gift except to say it was less than impressive.
