Do I have something wrong with me when I want to buy multiples of the exact same gun?  I feel like I'm going nuts here lately

Guns break, get stolen, are taken into evidence following a SD shooting....Its good to have a back-up which is exactly the same as the primary, easy transition

I have two 1911's and I want one more...again

I also have a Glock 19 that I want another one, maybe a different flavor 2nd gen or 4th gen still not sure yet. Will probably be a 3rd gen maybe the exo finish or so.

Nothing wrong with multiples of the same guns.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing. I've been carrying my M&P9c every day while my little Kahr CM9 sits in the safe. I have a custom holster on the way for it, but I may just let it all go and replace it with another 9c.

Yeah, I'm thinking of switching to the M&P platform.  Probably going to pick up a couple .40s and a .40c

I find myself doing the same thing.
If it works for you, why not have two?

I have 5 1911s and would like a few more.

Not crazy at all.  I have three identical copies of every gun I own.

Only 2 are kept in the same place at any given time.

I too am the "Noah's Ark" of gun collecting.  Round them up two by two.

Not so much for handguns, just Walther P38s, HKP7s, HK USPs, Walther PPKs, Glocks, S&W revolvers   but several pairs of Steyr AUGs, HK91s, FALs, Garands, ARs, M1 Carbines, Beretta and Benelli shotguns.

Well i'm buying my third p229(original style).  I love this gun and since they don't make them like the original anymore I figured i'd buy a couple.

I have 3 Glock G-19s. I love them. I also know that a company can change or discontinue a handgun model. Sooooo...........I have my bases covered if they do. I have a backup for my backup..........

I have a similar problem...

So...what do you think of Beretta?  

Seriously OP, I'm considering another PPQ in 9mm because I like it THAT much.

I have 4 glock 17s. 1 2nd gen, 3 3rd gens. Plus a 3rd gen 19 and 26

I'll be the dissenter.  I have multiple handguns, but no two are the same.  Now I did go crazy on an estate sale once and end up buying a bunch of Mosin Nagants, but only 2 are the same model.  That only happened on accident.  I haven't even shot most of them, and stick to the M-39 when I am feeling the Mosin itch.  The 91, 91/30, 38, 44 all just sit collecting dust.  Someday I'll get a Russian flag and put it up on the wall behind all of them, or just sell them.  But I know as soon as I sell them I will want one back.


I just don't think it is that big of deal to switch between handguns.  I have switched between a red dot sighted browning buckmark and a G34 with irons on each stage of steel challenge match and it didn't seem to affect me that much.

Certainly not. I have several multiple firearms. Below is a trio of P228's.
