I guess I'll second the contrarian view.
- Only owned 7 revolvers in my life...all were either .22LR or .44 magnum (loved to shoot .44 spl ammo out of them). Don't currently own any revolvers at this time, but were I to buy one today, I would likely be a .22, 9MM, or another .44
- Owned two .45'ACPs, but neither was a 1911 (Glock 21 & Springy Xdm). Didn't care for either. I'm looking at adding a .45 ACP to my modest armory, but torn between a Glock 30 and a Sig 320
- I've never owned a 30-30, but killed several deer with a loaner from a friend when my only rifle at the time was stolen. I would dearly love to buy one but it's just another "want" not "need" at this time.
- Never owned a 30-06 either...all my bolt hunting rifles have been either .308 or 7MM rem mag.
I never bought into the whole "you have to own THIS or THAT if you are a red-blooded American". Certainly, I appreciate the rich history and legacy many iconic firearms hold, and understand why they are popular firearms. But just like I dislike people telling me what guns I CANNOT own, I don't need them telling me what guns I SHALL own.
When anyone asks me what gun(s) they "should own" today, it is almost always someone who doesn't currently own a gun, and wants to own one for other than hunting purposes. And I almost always give them the same two answers: a reliable 9MM pistol and a reliable AR15 rifle, because both are easy to shoot and proven to perform extremely well in home defense/shooting sports roles.
Sorry if I took this thread in a wrong directions.
