How diverce is your handgun 'collection'?

[IM_Lugger]

Do you guys believe in having a diverse number of handguns or try to keep them all similar?

Diverse would be covering different type of guns: 1911, revolver, steel plastic, aluminum etc. And having a number of different calibers.

or Same type and staying with one type mostly like all 1911's, DA/SA, revolvers, or plastics. And sticking with a couple/few calibers.

Fear the man with one gun.

 

[Kevan]

From 25 Auto to 45 Colt with a lot in between, enjoy them all...

I believe variety is the spice of life, but it is certainly in one's benefit to specialize in one or two platforms as your go-to competition guns or whatever.

 

[IMagius]

.22 to 45 acp - revolvers & semis - all steel, no "plastic" YET ... a few 12(6) variations in there as well.

 

[Ganderite]

22 short to 44Mag, with lots of diversity.

 

[Paulinski]

9mm, .40, .45 and S&W 500

 

[dan belisle]

22 to 500. Single shots, revolvers, semi autos. No such thing as too many. - dan

 

[animalamidon]

pretty diverse. i have got 1911's in .22, 9mm and .45.

 

[misanthropist]

Not very...mostly Glocks, 9 & 10mm, and an AA kit.

I have 1 project 1911 and a GP100 that I shoot approximately once every four years and keep only because I have a lever gun in .357, so I can't bring myself to drop the caliber.

I try to focus on a specific platform as much as possible so I don't screw with my muscle memory. I can deal with Glocks and 1911s but when I pick up a DA/SA it messes with my head and I'd probably need a thousand rounds through it to get comfortable, and then I'd need another thousand to switch back.

I don't do the "rotation" thing.

 

[Johnn Peterson]

I have a fair cross section, from 22 LR to 500 S&W, in a variety of single actions, double actions and a few semi autos. Mostly blued, some stainless but NO PLASTIC.

 

[Rocket Surgery]

I have a 9mm 'tactical' handgun, all steel, tritium sights and a .22lr adapter kit.

I'm pretty much the guy with one gun.

From 25 Auto to 45 Colt with a lot in between, enjoy them all...

Forgot to mention my 22s, I have 4 and my missus has 6... I think.
The first handgun I registered was a Ruger 22 Auto in 1962, still have it along with the original green slip.
If I remember correctly it cost me $40.00 brand new and at that time I was earning $ 10.00 per day driving road grader for the local municipality... big money...

 

[easyrider604]

38/357, 9, 40 45

DA 38/357 revolvers 4.2 and 6 inch bbl, 1911s in 45/9, aluminum framed DA semis in 9/40/45, plastic/striker-fired in 9mm

just diverse enough to be interesting.

 

[5440fight]

Autos, wheelguns, double actions, single actions, plastics, steel- some range days, all at once!

 

[trebor2880]

Tanfoglio 25 Auto to a Webley 455

And a "few" inbetween.

 

[357_fan]

me and the mrs are still together so we're not diverced.

I've mostly had revolvers over the years but am slowly getting into autos

 

[indyelviskenobi]

double action, single action, revolver, auto, stainless, blued, steel, stainless, plastic, 9mm, .38 special, .45 auto, .22 lr...

it's all fun... and if I get bored it's up for a trade on the EE.

 

[9Guns]

I have every Swiss service pistol from 1882-present. not all variants mind you but one of each, Ordinance revolver, Luger, P210, P220 beuatifull pistols the whole lot.

 

[TheTooner]

My revolvers are all different calibres and from different manufacturers. I even have a semi-auto, also from a different manufacturer and in a different calibre.

I just realised only the oldest, a 1919 Webley, has plastic grips. The more modern ones all have wood.
