Or better put, need to add another caliber to my collection?
I've collected quite a number of firearms over the last few years and it's almost getting to be unpractical to have so many. I sometimes have to ask myself is it a "need" or a "want". I won't go into all my firearms but will list all calibers I own.
.22LR
.38 special
.357MAG
9mm
.45ACP
.223WIN
.30-30
.308
.30-06
12gauge
20gauge
Do I really "need" anything else? Some tell me I should "step up" to the .40SW. When I'm not carrying a wheelgun I usally go with a SIG239 9mm.
Yeah I know we've been over the .40SW vs. 9mm over and over I don't want to go there. I'm already convinced 9mm is just fine.
I went to a gun show this weekend and saw a very nice model 29. I had to ask myself what I would use it for? Sure it would be fun to shoot now and than but that's about it. BUT I WANTED IT! I held off and bought another .357MAG instead. (buyers guilt)
I read through the "if you could only have x number of guns" threads all the time. But what about limited calibers? I'm pretty confident my list covers just about everything I would need to shoot. (hunting & selfdefense) pretty darn effectively.
Do we need the .357SIG? The 300WSM? 17hmr??
Our am I just stuck in the past?
