Do you have more handguns or more long guns?

[raskolnikov_22]

Handguns way outnumber long guns in my collection. How is it with the rest of you?

I used to have more handguns, but I've gotten into rifles lately.

 

[theotherwaldo]

Yep. Just about even, if you exclude the wall-hangers.

way more long guns, but i shoot more with pistols.

it's just easier to buy long guns than handguns where I live (Belgium ) due to the regulations here

 

[hexidismal]

Its far less of a pain to buy long guns here in NY also ( though I'm sure not so much so as in Belgium like the above poster ). Still though, I have more handguns than long guns. I just never had that much interest in rifles for whatever reason.

Handguns for me. I love revolvers and they are pretty much all I buy anymore.

 

[ConstitutionCowboy]

I have more of both.

I have more handguns because in my particular area the indoor ranges are more convenient.

More long guns for me at the moment (24 vs 9 handguns). I use them more for hunting, and when I first got my C&R I snapped up tons of the cheaper bolt actions from surplus sales.

Lately though, I've found myself just more content to take the handguns to the range. Smaller, easier to pack, ammo is cheaper (though I go through more of it), and overall I just have more fun with the handguns. I think my longgun collection is missing maybe 3-4 pieces (and could probably loose 10 out of what it has without me being too upset) and then I'll be done. My handgun wishlist is a mile long .

The oddest thing for me though is that for ammo, I'm completely opposite between the two. If I get a chambering of a particular round in a rifle, I don't want another. Once I have one .243 that's - if I buy another rifle it better be in something different. For handguns, I'm opposite. Though my collection is a bit varied (currently 9mm Luger, .45 ACP, .22LR, 7.62x25, and 9mm Mak), in general anything new that I look at is ALWAYS in 9mm Luger. Again, I think the shooting fun and convenience comes into play, and I've just found that I like it a lot more when I can just lug fewer types of ammo out to the range.

 

[TEC]

Yes! But still not enough of either

 

[jackstinson]

Didn't we just do this poll a few weeks ago?

 

[WoofersInc]

I'm working on getting them closely matched up.
43 Handgun
33 Long guns

 

[Hostile Amish]

More pistols. I dislike the term handgun, by the way.

 

[SquirrelNuts]

I tend to shoot my pistols at the range more, but my main interest in firearms is in rifles. I own more rifles than pistols.

 

[Arkel23]

More long guns.

 

[Arkel23]

More long guns.

 

[MMCSRET]

YES!!!!!

 

[one shot one kill]

deffently more long guns does any one no of a good cheap place for bore hunting in texas , arksas or some were around there

 

[10-Ring]

Started out primarily a handgun guy. I had my HD pump shotgun but that was it for long guns. Then somehow, I started adding rifles to the mix -- handguns still out number long guns and will for a while, but I'm working on evening out the gap

 

[RockyMtnTactical]

More long guns.

 

[GojuBrian]

Handguns by a large margin even though most of my acquisitions have been long guns in the last couple of years.
