A lot of people argue that 7 guns can cover all your needs:



1. Combat handgun

2. Combat rifle

3. Carry gun

4. 30 cal hunting rifle

5. Shotgun

6. Rimfire rifle

7. Rimfire handgun



I used to entertain delusions that I could keep my collection at no more than 15 guns.  At this point, even if I sold the ones I'm ready to sell I'd still be over that, and I haven't even started buying guns for my children yet.

Not really.

I'm definitely in favor of having one of each type of gun instead of multiple examples of the same gun.


Here's all the basic food groups:


22 rifle

AR15

bolt action hunting weight rifle


pump action 12 ga field gun

pump action 12 ga riot gun


22 target pistol

9mm auto

44 mag revolver


pocket gun for carry


The above gives you a good variety and it's only 9 guns

I never understood why some guys buy 12 glocks and 18 ARs

It's boring to shoot the same gun all the time


Also, you want to make sure the gun is "shootable".   The gun should soak up some recoil and throw the noise and muzzle blast downrange pretty good.

A lot of guns that are really cool looking or nice to carry are really shitty to try to target shoot with

an example would be the S&W 44 mag mountain gun.  It's a perfect gun until you go to shoot it.

I could easily make due with my Rem 700, 12 gauge, VP9, SR-15, and .22.

It's a little bigger than that, but I keep the "collection" to a small number of shooters.

sell the excess stuff and buy a real valuable collector gun

the problem with guns is that they're ALL appealing

so you keep buying and buying and then it sits


About 10 years ago I decided to buy all the really classic guns I wanted when I was a kid.

Like a 44 mag marlin and a s&W model 41 target pistol and a colt gold cup

never shot any of them, sold them

everything I bought was literally the best of the best but it just collected dust

I would take my ruger 22/45 to the range and leave the 41 home

I could be happy with 4 guns;

Glock 19
16" AR with T2
870
Then a bolt gun or a 18" AR with a scope.

Less to have confiscated.

ETA: I'm still sticking with my SHTF plan; If I find  cartridge, any cartridge, I will have a gun that shoots it....

This thread reminds me -

when I got out of college I bought a reloading press, a S&W target 22 revolver, a S&W 357 mag revolver and a 30-30

I had so much fun with those guns, I shot them literally every single day

there is a lot to be said for simplicity

I can see what you are saying, that paring down can be ok, and you might even enjoy them more. IParing down to 8 to give you a nice, usable, variety. But I like em just for collecting. Like why my girlfriend has 20 pairs of shoes.

So, for the record:
