And don’t tell us about that can of Simonize in your stocking or the new putter you found leaning against the fireplace. No, we want to know what the jolly old elf brought that’s, you know, gun-realted. Duh. Was it a heinous 33-round magazine for your Teutonically perfect pistol? A case of ammo so you can spend a little more quality time at the range? Maybe junior found his first .22 tucked way back in the corner behind the tree. I got the two future-ban-compliant mags in the pic, above. Did you maybe score a Bore Snake for your shotty? A 5-gallon bucket of Hoppe’s? Or a shiny semi-auto handgun that will appall your relatives? Oooh! Maybe you were you a really good girl or boy this year . . . and now you’re showing off a brand-spanking new indefensible black military-style rifle. Whatever it was, we hope it’s exactly what you wanted. So tell us all about it.

  1. I guess I was BAD this year, I recieved 2 lumps of COAL. But then again a liberal will acuse me of carying DANGEROUS WEAPONS , as I could throw them at some one and Kill them

  2. Got a Sig Sauer 1911 as a joint present, could not bring it to mother in law’s, since that would be insensitive with the CT situation. She was fine with guns before, now getting squirrely with them…

  3. TechSights and a new hammer for my 10/22 takedown. Hope the come in handy at the next Appleseed shoot I attend.

  7. Gun related, no. I just buy whatever I want during the year so no need for anyone to buy me gun products for xmas.

  8. Taurus Tracker 627, 357 mag with 6″ barrel. Thanks to my lovely for that one. Plus a bunch of other neat things. Merry Christmas to all.

  9. Sadly I’ve never woken up to find the surprise of a new rifle or a crate of ammo under the tree. I have to go out and buy everything gun related myself because nobody in my family knows anything about them and doesn’t want to buy me something I may all ready have. I got 250 rounds of surplus 8mm Mauser ammo and some random parts. I’m quite content with what I have and I’m just thankful that I get to spend today with friends and family by a warm fire with some damn good food.

    • Might I suggest setting up an online wish list so that your significant other/family/friends know what you want? Amazon’s wish lists in particular even allow you to add items from other Web sites. My extended family has been using this method for a couple of years to buy gifts for each other. It works extremely well.

      • That’s a wonderful idea, but to add fuel to the fire I collect German WWII firearms and militaria as my main hobby. I’d hate to see them go out and purchase something outright fake or messed with for the price of the genuine article. As I said before, I’m just glad I get to spend time with my extended family and chow down on some good food today. I feel like such an anomaly being a part of “generation entitlement” and wanting to buy things I want with my own money, even around the holidays. I’ll keep that wish list thing in mind for ammo or small parts though.

  10. Gun related- 50 rounds of 9mm fmj. But hey, that’s 50 more rounds than I can find at any academy, any Walmart, or the LGS right now!

  11. Santa left me options in the form of a $50 Cabela’s gift card. Now I can’t decide whether to put it towards a 10/22 Takedown or go ahead and finish kitting out my Winnie Defender 1300.

  12. I got a gift cert for a tactical pistol class. Also bought myself 1,000 rds of fmj and 100 rds of HP’s @ cabelas. May order a new gun off gunbroker.

  21. Not Santa but my father-in-law got me a stainless steel Ruger Mark III Target model. He got me a blued one last year, said I needed this one to compliment the other one. Plus now when my son is old enough we can go plinking through the woods.

      • I guess having only daughters made a bit of a sore spot on him. My wife swears I get the best gifts for Christmas and birthdays. He once told me if I could get the series 80 trigger block parts back in one of his 1911’s I could have it. A little grease to hold them in place and a couple of seconds later I was looking at holsters online for my new .45. Someday I’ll have to buy him a gun, but he pretty much buys every gun he wants so I guess it will have to be one he doesn’t want.

  23. Beautiful new Sig P238 Sports 12!

    Son got a case (2 tuna cans) of Mosin ammo (now THAT’S hard to wrap!).

    Off to the range later this week with the family to practice.

    Happy New Year!

  24. I got night sights and 5 standard capacity mags for my glock 23, 5 standard cap mags for my m1a, gunsmith screwdrivers, bullet casting lead, and wool socks.

  25. Got myself a Buckmaster Stainless Camper with URX grips. Santa brought a box each of .380, .40 and .22 ammo, along with a universal cleaning kit and range box.

  27. Me, I got nothing firearm related (Bah Humbug) but the man child got a Glock 22C , while SWMBO and the girl child got pinkish shooting glasses and ear muffs for their next trip to the range. SWMBO stated she wants to spend some range time with me so that she will be ready to attend her upcoming CHL class.

    But, right before Christmas, on order of the boss, I did put a black military, OMGThatsanASSAULTRIFLE, on order since every place was sold out.

  34. I am very excited to have received a beautiful Ruger 10/22 carbine (basic wood stocked model), and two BX-25 magazines to go with it, from my wife. I also picked up two 15 round SIG magazines for myself.

  35. Hi Viz sights for my 1911, the girls got a bunch of .22mag ammo, a set of Hogue Rubber Grips for my Government model 1911.
    The best was getting to be off work for the second Christmas in a row. Out of 11yrs of holidays having two Christmases in a row off is a great gift.

  36. A FNH FS 2000 and a green light from my wife to buy as many mags as i can find for any gun we own. Did have the heart to tell her I am way ahead of her but appreciate to approval. James Yeager cannot tell me what to shoot Merry Christmas to all and now back to playing with my kids toys

  37. Bravo Company 16″ Mid-Length Hammer Forged upper receiver group with a Centurion Arms C4 9″ rail, and a Magpul UBR stock to go along with it.

  38. Nothing yet, but I haven’t opened everything yet. Still waiting for family to arrive to open what they got since it’s only appropriate but I don’t want to get my hopes up.

  39. I think the quote by Michael Moore was a Christmas present for us all. I am still tripping about that one. I still wonder what happened to the revolver he got while shooting Bowling For Columbine. He kinda flubbed when asked about that.

  40. A trip to the range with my (sort of) anti-gun father. Money from the grandparents that’s going towards a used Five-Seven…not that I can ever tell them that. And picking out a gun belt with my mother, shortly before she tried to convince me not to get any more guns because she’s afraid that “having guns might make a person flip out one day and shoot someone”.

    The Jewish Christmas is never dull.

  41. I hit the jackpot 2 pmags, a Magpul foregrip, a Bushnell mp 1×30 sight, and a Magpul ACS stock, witch unfortunetly i have to send back to get the commercial-spec one, and 6 boxes of .223

  44. One the last available ar-15s I could find anywhere ended up being a late Chanukah gift to myself!! Now I need to find some .223 and more mags!

  46. Ruger 10/22
    Magpul BAD Lever
    Magpul Ranger Plates
    Slip 2000 EWL
    AR-15 Schematic Gun Cleaning Mat
    Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rod

    Box of Surefire CR-123’s
    Targets
    Non-Marring Hammer
    Punch Set

  48. S&W M&P9 and two extra 17 rnd mags, plus a new OWB kydex holster. Mag carrier will have to wait until after the new year.

  49. Screw Santa. That bum works one day a year and spends the other 364 judging me. What a putz.

    I was able to locate a bunch of M1A magazines, 500 rounds of 7.62×51 NATO ammo, and have enough goodwill left over for either a 1943 M1 Carbine or a Smith & Wesson Model 29 in .44 Mag.

  50. My parents don’t share my gun opinions, BUT…

    autographed photos from Raquel Welch and Honor Blackman don’t disappoint, either.

  51. Got some Hornady V-max .223
    Some Federal Auto Match .22
    A lead sled
    And some money, to put towards that Henry .22 I’ve been craving

  53. I got:
    Crimson Trace CMR-201 Rail Master laser sight for Ruger SR .22
    RCBS Military Trigger Pull Scale
    Champion Over-Spec Shooting Glasses
    Marksman 3060 Talon Grip Slingshot
    Husband got:
    butt stock shell carrier
    Shotgun sock
    Shotgun case
    Shotgun cleaning items in wood box
    New shooting safety glasses
    Box of gun rust prevention wipes
    And cleaned his shotgun, installed shell carrier and loaded it with five 12 gauge shells

  57. -Ruger 10/22 Takedown

    – Olight M31
    – 500 rounds CCI Velocitor 22 LR
    – 50 Rounds 12 gauge 00 buck
    – And an 18 year old bottle of Scotch

  59. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a LaserLyte training target and matching 40SW laser cartridge. That will save quite a bit of money on range time and ammo as I get ready for competition in 2013, and of course for skill drills any time.

    Already thinking about picking up several more active targets so I can set up courses of fire.

    • Looks like stuff you got for yourself is fair game, too…

      Snagged 2 Kaiser Defense stripped lowers from Ten Percent Firearms. Would have bought 4 if I’d known my quarterly bonus was going to be paid in December instead of late January! Too bad nobody anywhere has lowers at this point, much less good quality stripped lowers at reasonable prices.

      Also picked up 4 30-round FDE PMAGs with both regular and Ranger base plates, plus 10-round limiters. That way I can rivet/epoxy the limiters to one set of base plates, then have the other set for shooting expeditions to other, more civilized states. But never both in same place in my vehicle at once. No need for drama with some LEO who hasn’t gotten the memo.

  60. A box of 500 Remington .380 FMJ bullets, a box of CCI primers and 1lb. of Bullseye powder. All set to resupply my Colt Mustang +2.

  62. My fiance got me a Glock 19 (Gen IV) with 20 15 rd mags and a leather recliner. Not to brag, but she’s amazing. She’s got a great rack too!

    Just ordered an ACR and phantom holster for it from Raven Concealment.

    Merry xmas to the armed intelligencia and the whole TTAG family!!!

  64. Beau-coup high-cap Mags!
    Drum mags for AK, Surefire 60 rders for AR, 30 rd AK-47, 30 rd SK-74, 30 rd Mag Pul for AR, 20 rd C-Products for AR, Beretta 92 15 rd, Steyr M9 17 rds, HK 93 40 rd, HK USP .45 acp 12 rd, GSG 522 22rd, Hk MP5 30rd, etc..

  65. I got a Dillon RL550b and some other reloading stuff, which I knew about. I was surprised by the Crimson Trace laser grips for my SP101. My wife is awesome.

  66. My GF got me a Nagant revolver and 3 boxes of ammo. It’s not a Kimber I know, but i’m still happy she event hought about get me a gun as a prezzy!

      • ended up being more than the gun! she’s pretty great. I bought her shoes. ( this required much female help to get right,but i pulled it off)

  68. Asked for a Ruger Mini-14, but the better half couldn’t find any. She opted to put a Remington 700 under the tree instead. Pretty rifle, but it’s for righties and I’m a leftie (hand, not political). My college-age daughter (who has been taught to shoot) was appalled that her younger sister got a Savage MkII; appears that the professors are getting to her. Not to worry….her older brother went through the same phase and is now scheduling his CC class.

  69. Surprise gift: two boxes of FMJ ammo for my 9mm. More ammo is always good.

    Known gifts: a Lee Precision Reloading starter kit, with 9mm (for me) and .308 (for Number One Son) die kits. A late Christmas present is coming too: got a co-worker who used to collect .308 brass, and doesn’t reload them now. Number One Son is scoring.

    Now I just need to get a book or two and some powder.

    I would probably have bought Milady a LC9, but she really needed an iPad (for homeschool). I would use the post-Christmas money to make up for it, but I will probably have to buy an iPhone to satisfy work (they reimburse me for the phone plan, so it’s hard to say no….).

  70. I got a shotgun! Well not really..
    Wife got me the walking dead shotgun game. Crappy graphics but fun for all of us at the Christmas party… All the guys are crowded around the TV.

  71. A Ruger LCP and a Ruger 10/22, spare magazines for both, ammo for both, targets, cleaning supplies and a nice new watch. I love my parents 🙂

  73. Two magazines for the C9 Hi Point. For those who haven’t shot one, try it. Not a bad shooter. A bit heavy for CCW but works at home.

  74. Streamlight HL! And my girlfriend asked me to help her get her carry permit! Woohoo!

    I did manage to gift myself (between birthday and Christmas being9 days apart) a Leupold MK4 MR/T 1.5-5 with an illuminated reticle for my EBR and 500 rounds of Federal XM193.

    ETA: That’s the scope in my avatar. I absolutely LOVE that reticle.

  75. 1 Gen 3 30rnd PMag
    3 MagLevel 30rnd PMags
    500 Hornady 55rgn bullets
    4oz bottle of Slip2000 30wt
    Another – StreamLight PolyTac LED

  76. I got:

    1. membership to private gun range.
    2. C93 rifle
    3. 50$ gift card to cabelas

    1 was my santa gift.
    2. i bought myself out of money from selling some things
    3. from my aunt and uncle.

  77. Llama IX-A 1911 and 50 rnds bulk steel case. All my local farmer store had in stock. The Llama was a present to myself. Some will say a burden in disguise but I think its cool.
