How many own more than 1 gun in the same caliber?

[tinygnat219]

This has probably got to be the most one-sided poll I have ever seen on The High Road. Very impressive! I guess it's safe to say that us gun-owners have guns for different things.

 

[Acheron]

Yep-two in 7.62x54R. One 91/30 and one M38. Soon to add a M44.

 

[Deanimator]

Multiple guns in .45acp, including wadcutter and ball M1911s.

Several 9x19mms.

Several .357s.

Several .38 Specials.

Several .44 Magnums.

 

[Franco2shoot]

1 - .22 Henry lever rifle
1 - .32 Walther PP
1 - .45 BP Colt
1 - .45 BP or .45LongColt Remington
1 - .45 ACP 1911M1A Springfield
1 - .308 Remington Model 7
2 - 12 Gauge 1 Beretta-1 Franchi


Whew! just barely made it with the Shotguns.

[tuckerdog1]

4 357s ( had 6 )
4 22LR.

HAD:
2 44 mag ( both gone now ).
3 9mm ( down to 1 now ).
2 12ga ( down to 1 now ).

Do I need a reason?

10mm three pistols Witness compact, Witness full size, Witness Elite Match
7.5X55 Swiss two K31s
308 / 7.62X51 they're the same to me Saiga conversion and Rem 700 / Hart bbl.
45acp PT145, SA XD45, Marlin Camp Carbine
22rf Ruger bull barrel match pistol, Browning takedown rifle, Mossberg mil. trainer
45/70 Marlin 1895, Ruger #3

 

[SteyrAUG]

Yes....because I can.

 

[Black Majik]

Yes... because bringing friends to the range that aren't familiar with firearms decreases the chance of the wrong ammo going in the wrong gun (loading .40s into a .45 magazine).

 

[Houston Tom]

I have 4 .22 and a couple of 12 Ga. I am about to add either another 7.62 X 39 or 5.56, I have one of each. I have to deciede which caliber will be my primary SHTF caliber.

 

[phoglund]

Certainly! I like some calibers and I am trying not to add any more calibers but I keep adding guns.

I have 29 duplicates of various calibers. From seven handguns and long guns in .22 Long Rifle to two .38 Specials. I plan on adding a second .45 ACP in the next couple of days as well.

 

[CountGlockula]

Yes. Two Glocks in .40S&W. I just bought a Lone Wolf conversion barrel for my Glock model 35 and it converts from .40S&W to 9mm!

But I do plan to own all of the .40S&W Glocks.

 

[hksw]

For me, I can sum it up in a specific statement that can be used as a template for a general rule.

A Marlin 15 YN ain't no Anschütz 2013/690 but they both serve a purpose.

 

[learn2shoot]

I had a few guns in the same caliber (sadly now I have none). A few reasons that I can think of (some apply to me +, others don't -)

- Tried to keep one gun in each caliber, but ran out of calibers.
+ Had shotgun for me and a friend for trap
+ .22 is cheap, needed one in pistol, bolt action rifle, semi-auto rifle
+ I liked the feel of a .357
+ Zombie Attack
+ Less need to store/reload multiple calibers
+ odd ball calibers were too expensive

 

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

[AZTOY]

.22lr- ----- 2

.223-------2

7.62X39-------3

 

[bluestarlizzard]

yes.
.223
.45
.9mm
.40 S&W
.357 SIG (i think, dads not home so i'll have to ask later)
12 gauge
i think thats it.
dads collections evolves through the years as his taste changes. however, there is always a .45
oh, almost forgot one
5.7 *grin* now how on earth did i almost forget that!

i bet the reson for people only owning one of a caliber is probably because their collection is not very large.....yet!

 

[TheGunGuru]

.223 win - bushmaster xm15
- Savage

.308 win - Tikka t3 varmint
- m14
- FAL

7.62x39 mm- SKS
- AK-47m

The real question is why not? haha, different guns have different uses, bolt actins are usually a little more accurate than the semi alternative, they are also a litttle lighter. but semi FALs, M-16s, AKs are fun as hell to rip off a clip and kill whole familys of targets

 

[308win]

2-20ga
3-12ga
3-.22 rifle
2-.223/5.56
2-.22 pistol
Everything else is a oner.

 

[Pat McCoy]

.22s are like hangers, they reproduce in the gun closet.

 

[KMBRTAC45]

Wow! This is the most replys I've seen for just about any thread in such a short amount of time so I'll give my pennies worth.

.22lr....2 pistols
..........7 rifles

7.62x39......2 AK's
................1 SKS

9mm......3 pistols

45ACP......2 Pistols

 

[bluestarlizzard]

".22s are like hangers, they reproduce in the gun closet."

i'm not sure but i think after reveiwing these post, .223 falls under the same catagory.

 

[MD_Willington]

yes - easier to feed... KISS rule for me

 

[HisSoldier]

10 .380's

 

[Bazooka Joe71]

I'd rather keep the calibers to a minimum, and not the guns...I like to have an over abundance of ammo for all of my firearms.

Plus, there are so many fun toys chambered in 30-06 and 7.62x54r, its hard not to have more than one(just to name a couple)
