When is it time to stop buying handguns? - Page 2 - The Firearms Forum

jjbatt71 · 07-13-2012, 10:57 PM

I've only bought 3 handguns this year.

Zane71464 · 07-14-2012, 04:21 AM

I've told myself a million times and then some that I have enough and I'm done buying anymore handguns.
Heck, had a feller call me last night with a S&W 66 and I just let go of one a while back......(have to have a look at it anyways

)

Wow you have a million handguns???!!!

I wish I did.

I certainly know what you mean about saying, "Alright I have enough now," only to find myself buying another firearm before long. But I usually buy rifles so I can act like I'm sane in this thread.

..... and now you can get into re-loading ( a great hobby ) and keep all of
your guns fed.

For many it's the "more, more, more" or the "never enough" mentality. file I went through a phase where I was buying a bunch (used to be part of the gun a month club for quite a while) I'm come to realize that it's not so, at least for me. Quality over quantity! Anyone can own a bunch of lesser quality ones and say they have a lot of guns. I'd rather have a single GOOD one than a bunch of lesser ones. So now I just don't see any more than a couple new ones each year. Started the "really want list" years ago and there's buy a couple remaining. With nearly 100 firearms on hand, I just don't see the need no have the desire to keeping adding them.

My heart goes out to you BlkHawk. I have an idea. Why don't you let me lighten your load and I'll take a few of them off your hands?

Highboy You posted a pix of your sa revolvers once. You know you have to many of these. I can help you out. Send about half to me and I will put them to good use.

When ever I get a new gun I think I have all I need. A few weeks latter I find a new one that I have to have.

My state is helping me with this issue. They take most of my money in taxes

gvw3, if I ever was to just give my guns away, there is a good chance you would be on that list. But a man just can't have enough guns.

True

Before you run out of money, so you can still buy ammo.

dont worry the jack booted blue helmets will be knocking saying it is time to stop

TheGunClinger · 07-25-2012, 07:31 PM

I am with the never can have enough crowd. I pick them up whenever the chance presents itself. If it is a kinda inferior gun I use it as trade bait in order to get something of better quality. Sometimes I luck out and get a really good deal, sometimes I dont. But, the more the merrior.(possible spellication errer. or 2-3)

Deacon_Man · 07-25-2012, 08:20 PM

I am upto (9) hand guns now and still looking for a good buy. Love to shoot and reload. I don't think I will ever have enough.

warbird1 · 07-26-2012, 11:32 PM

Can't have too many guns or too much ammo! Always have one on layaway.
