My name is Coop and I am a dummy. A couple of weeks ago I ordered a holster for my PCR from Allen at High Noon. After I got it I decided it didn't fit my needs. The quality was great, it was just me. After I returned it, I ordered another holster I was sure to work. THEN......One morning looking for something in the safe I found a holster identical to the one I ordered. Yes, I am that dumb. Called Allen, explained my situation, warned him about doing business with dumbasses and cancelled my order. I hope to get smarter, but that is unlikely. Now you realize how smart you really are, go invent something.

As soon as I buy a new pistol I go out and buy a dozen holsters. Left hand. Right hand. IWB. OWB. It doesn't make any difference. I buy 'em all.

Then I go home and throw them into a box and bury it under the bed. A box of holsters I'll never use.

Because that's what happens anyway. This way I spare myself the drama and get it over with.
 
I frequent a gun shop that apparently buys these boxes. They must have a thousand used holsters. It occasionally takes the sting out of buying new ones to but in my box:)
 
When I misplace a small part I plan to use to build something useful, I always buy another. That way I am assured to find the first item and have the second to return.

I have another super secret solution. If I drop a nut while working on my motorcycle and cannot find it I call my wife. She walks up and picks it up and asks if this was what I was looking for. So, you can see how I am comfortable being a dumbass. I tell everyone that I married a woman who is alot smarter than I am. My friends say they would hate to see one who wasn't. I thought that was funny for a long time. Then we got the beagle. When he was a tiny puppy we would play tug of war with an old tube sock. He decided to carry it around one day and would trip over it. After doing that for a while the little snot laid it down, folded it into thirds and carried it away. After that I was pretty sure I was in the #3 slot for family smarts and let the wife and puppy battle it out for #1.

Yes, it's always annoying to buy something and then discover you have the identical item that you had completely forgotten about. What's worse is when you discover TWO of them.

Well, at least after doing some research you came to the same conclusion and bought the same holster. Kind of validates your choices.

Not so dumb after all.
 
We moved about 5 years ago. About 3 years ago, I found a whole duffel bag of ammo I'd forgotten about. It was like Christmas in July!
 
I am a reasonably avid reader of mysteries. More than once I have read a third of the way through before getting the vague feeling that “this seems really familiar.” I like to think I’m not lots dumber than average ... just ... distractable!

My real “dumb holster buying” moments have been when I fell for some super-cool-and-cheap holster at a gun show. One time it actually broke the evening of the day I bought it. Better to have an extra decent holster than three POS’s. You can give the good one away as a present but the others just clutter up your Drawer of Shame.

I've tried that, not with holsters but with books. I'm, like many here, a reader and I tend to deep dive authors I like. I have lists of some of the fiction series that I enjoy so when I go to the LBS (local bookshop) I know what I have and what I don't have. And usually leave the lists home.

Not to hijack the thread, but you gotta love a beagle.

This is why I always get a laugh out of posts asking "What is the best holster for...?"
I have a drawer, and a bin, and a box on a shelf of holsters, I give them away to new owners and still they multiply.
Every.Single.One.Was.The.Best. (At the time, else, why did I buy them? Wait, what day is this, again?)

Only worry if the dog passes lockerbox inspection better than you do.
