You know what I'm talking about.

The list of firearms you must own before you die.

Over the past few months I've been working up a serious, no-BS list of what I really hope to own in the next few years.  It can be divided up into several subsets:

  • Semiautomatic fighting rifles, carbines, and subguns


  • Modern combat pistols


  • 12 gauge combat shotguns


  • Monster handguns


  • Pocket pistols


This list totals out to:

26 rifles, carbines, and subguns
6 shotguns
30 pistols


Out of all these, I currently own:

8 rifles, carbines, and subguns
8 pistols
2 shotguns

I've got a long way to go, but I'm making good progress and I am very satisfied with what I own currently.  Right now I am focusing on weapons that would likely be affected by a new AWB, and so I purchased an AR-180B last week, and a PTR-91 is en route right now.  I've bought three other guns since the new year as well.  The next few purchases will be 5.56mm rifles that take AR mags, to keep things simple.  I hope to purchase an FS2000 (pending the outcome of this breaking ATF story), a RobArm M96 and a RobArm XCR within the next few months, and a TPD AXR and Masada when they hit the market.  

Later, I will focus on expanding my pocket pistol and handcannon collections, since I don't think of those categories as time-sensitive.

So, let's hear about your list.

Oh, and to head off any 'you should invest' comments, I am unmarried, have zero credit card debt, and pay extra on my home loan every month, and contribute to a 401(K) as well.  So there.

My list isn't very impressive. Right now I have a total of 2 pistols, a Glock 19 for carry and a Taurus 1911 that I really enjoy shooting. I have 5 rifles which include a 10/22, remington bolt .22, Savage 270 for hunting, 16" M4gery and a 20" A4gery. I also have a stripped lower that I may sell or give to my dad.

The list of what I need is pretty short also:

Remington 870 or Benelli Super Nova

The list of what I want isn't major either:

AAC M4-1000 can (that I am about to order)
Glock G21SF
Taurus 1911 in Stainless

I am pretty happy with my collection and get to spend adequate time with each rifle or pistol when I get to make it to the range. It's not real hard to decide what to bring with me.

No .22 rifle? Ammo for all that? Personally, I cut things to minimal calibers and platforms some time ago. It really simplifies mags, spare parts, etc.
