If it was my wife, it would be a single action revolver AND a lever gun in .45 Colt, or a Kimber Pro CDP II. + a nice evening out.
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H.L. Mencken
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.― H.L. Mencken
Being as I'm divorced, any advice I might have should obviously be ignored anyhow. I'm just dumb enough to ASK her what she'd like.
As a special present you could buy some good shooting clothing for you to wear so that you look nice when you take her shooting.I think most ladies would appreciate a gift like that.Alternately a new Gun for you so that it gives her pleasure to see you enjoying it.Being thoughtfull for special occasions is a male trait.
To really impress my wife, I would need to figure out something she would really like to have, without asking her. It would not be anything gun-related, and it would need to be something I would not normally buy.
I don't think I would press my luck by buying her another gun at this point. She may use it on the target in front of her when you present it. I would stick to the non-traditional such as dinner,jewelry or other. By the way when is her birthday? You may get back on track by buying her another gun then. Proceed slowly.
Whatever else you get her, get her some flowers. The girls melt when her guy shows up with flowers...

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
Never been much on buying something that is dried up and dead in a few days. lol
The petals may die in a few days, but the memory will live forever. Don't be cheap or insensitive. Add a gift card to the jewelry store to the flowers. That insures she gets to pick, and sets the limit. While getting the GC peruse the store and make gentle suggestions you think she might like.
I've only been married for 49 years, and the wife has never bought me a gun, but i'm being patient. She's never complained about my toys.
Figure out how much of the "three gun sum" you can afford and get her a gift
certificate to a nice jewelry store. Of course, my wife would not really be to happy
about that, she's not much for jewelry, but is way off of the female mainstream on
that.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
If your wife has a good female friend you can talk to "off the record", try that. Her friend might know exactly what the kind of gift your wife would really like.
After all, most gals or guys will easily talk about subjects that might be awkward when discussing them with spouses.
I've put some more thought into this and I will stick with my original idea. Get her a big fifty. Tell her it's for bears and you love her so much and want her to be safe.
Gee, I am trying to get the wife to get a new car for the anniversary, she said she still wants flowers, fancy dinner & a show. Go figure.
I'll expand my answer. Years ago when toaster ovens came out I got one for some day you're supposed to give the wife a gift. Needless to say I ended up returning it. A couple weeks later, there was a new toaster oven on the counter that I didn't buy. there's 2 kinds, 1 will graciously accept a gift & 1 that wants to choose the gift and then chew you out cause you didn't surprise her. Good luck.

Give up a brick of my ammo in times like the present, are you losing it. LOL
Terribly sorry, got a little carried away there.

I am sure with you there! To me, in my poor logical male brain, buying flowers is a big waste of money. I found out quickly, though, that my wife LIKES flowers, and beyond that I think she likes that I am occasionally willing to spend money on something that has absolutely no practical value, just for her.Never been much on buying something that is dried up and dead in a few days. lol
