As a amatuer shooter I find myself very attracted to handguns... maybe because the hero's in movies get the job done from 50 yards away with one snub nose 38 or 1911 that magically holds 16 rounds. LOL. But a recent post by another member asking "Why would I want a handgun", which was a awesome and original post... has got me thinking.
I hear all the time how handguns are poor fighting weapons or that handguns are used to fight your way to a "REAL" gun. I LOVE handguns, I own a couple and I want to own more but is it silly to invest in having my favorite handguns? Am I "giving up" a edge when all I have is Handguns for Home Defense? Is there anyone out there that owns just all handguns?
I ask because most gun owners that I know diversify their collection... Handguns, a AR-15 or two, a shotgun etc. I love Tacti-cool rifles and the awesome Robar or Wilson Combat 870's but not enough to drop 1000+ on them.
