1. Find the perfect handgun for my wife (have a lot of good suggestions already from Forum members...currently doing field research) and get her licensed.
2. Take a quality, advanced tactical handgun class.

If only #1 is achieved, that will be fine by me...

P90 or PS90? If its the P90 can I be your friend?

Me too!
Take the PS-90 and send in the SBR paperwork, cut the barrel down and then call it a P-90...
Cutting the barrel alone won't make it fully automatic.

Funny story...I was in a gun store just window shopping a year or two ago when a little old lady (we're talking 5 feet tall, blue hair, 100 lbs 70 year old granny) came in and put down an order for a SCAR 17. She was telling the clerk how excited she was to get this thing and how much she likes semi autos in .308

Gotta love Texas. :txflag:

Speaking of semi-automatic .308s, my gun resolution is to decide if I want an AR-10 or M1A.
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

I was going for long-range accuracy, and I've heard that the FAL doesn't rank so high in that dept. I suppose that I should be considering bolt-action rifles as well, but I tend to forget that they're not semi-auto and end up pulling the trigger w/out cycling the bolt at least once per range trip. (Perhaps it'd help if I didn't start out by burning through so much ammo with a 10/22...)

1) Finally get my CHL like I should have done a long time ago
2) S&W M&P 40
3a) Keep my fingers crossed that the wife finally wants her own handgun
3b) if not, possibly get a CZ 527 in 221 Fireball or maybe 22 Hornet

Add a revolver.
I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.
I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.

Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
