...as soon as I purchased my .357 and carried it to the truck, I knew there wouldn't be anything Handi about carrying 8# of bull barrel pistol caliber any wheres. She's at the smithy geting cut and crowned now. After that, she'll be able to stand straight up & down in a scabbard behind the seat.
...there are many kinds of wounded, and only one kind of dead. Do it the Handi way, one shot, one kill.

My Maxi doesn't like this thread.  She has a beautiful grain BC carbine stock, fire sight front and a TC 1.5-5 variable.  So she's a little on the heavy side.  She's intimidated by the hacksaw in the garage and lightweight synthetic stock pictures  on my PC.  Sulking around worrying about my not loving her just the way she is.  Hasn't spoken for awhile.  Poor thing's probably getting performance issues and thinking I'm looking for a slimmer model. 

Next thing you know she'll be wanting to get counseling.  Do Handi's warrant alimony?
Think as if you LIFE depends on it... IT does..!  Be Well...

Maybe you should readjust your paradigm and decide you really do like the 'full-figured' look in your sweetie......
I am reminded of these words of wisdom from years back,"What a man wants and what he thinks he wants ain't necessarily the same thing"  ;) ; so, proceed with caution.........
