Yep.

1 P7M8 for weddings & funerals.
Good to go.

It's always need.
First, I needed a gun.
Then I needed a shotgun.
Then I needed a handgun.
Then I needed a semi-auto.
Then a .357 magnum.
Then I needed a 1911.
Glock.
SIG.
H&K.
And so on......
I guess I just need 'em all.
But how do you really know what you need until you've bought it?
By the time you figured out exactly what guns you really needed, you have more guns than you need. (Doesn't really ake any kind of sense, does it?)

Well, I have two 1991s, both worked by Yost. I have a BHP, soon to be worked by Yost. I have a Ruger MkII .22lr and a Remmie pumpgun in the same. I have shotguns and rifles that I can hunt with, but don't.
I am officially not buying any more weapons. Period.
Unless the prices come down in September, then I'm getting a celebratory AR15, and maybe an Uzi.
Then I'll be done. Period.

Hey, and after you are done, I got some ocean front property to sell in Arizona...
You know, I look at my collection, and I am like, why, I don't need more... but it is an unstoppable urge, I have to go check out the shop, I have to go check out the shows, I have to find a deal and get more more more!

It's not about need...
...it's about obsession.
I went through that whole need thing...but a 12-step program (12 gun purchases actually) cured the "need" affliction.
Safe shooting,

Needing a new gun is pretty irrelevant to the urge to own a new gun, but I find that reverting to the "I don't need another handgun, rifle,or shotgun" to be useful everytime I find something I like but don't have the disposable income to pick it up.

I'm really, really done this time. Period plus infinity.
And I really, really mean it!
And I really, really mean it!

It's all in how you look at it.
You know, I've had to many handguns for a while now. And not only do I not need another one, I don't want another one.
In fact the thought of getting another handgun is not only distasteful it's painful it's actually a form of punishment.
But the thing is this, I've been bad, I been very bad, and for the last week or two I've been searching for the right punishment.
First it was the S&W1911 but that wasn't punishment enough. Then I thought the Sig GSR, but I can't get them here (now)
So now I'm thinking SVI, yeah, that's about right, I've been really bad.
Respectfully,
jdkelly

Relevant conversation, really happened, between two fine Marines I was lucky enough to have known - a chief warrant officer and an 45 year old Gunnery Sergeant, Vietnam Vet when they went shooting for the first time together.
CWO - "Damn Gunny, think you brought enough rifles?" - looking at his dozen or so rifles in his pickup.
GSgt - "Well sir, some of these just needed to be shot. Its been awhile."
CWO - "I thought you shoot often?"
GSgt - "I do sir, just haven't shot these particular ones in awhile."
CWO - "So Gunny, just how many guns do you own?"
GSgt - "Do you mean, all kinds, or just rifles, or just handguns, or just shotguns, or..."
CWO - "Well, just rifles... lets talk rifles for now. How many?"
GSgt - "Do you mean how many do I have here (in AZ), or back at home, or both?"
CWO - "Here... just here... how many rifles do you have here?"
GSgt - "Rifles only? Here? um... 47."
CWO - "47! You have 47 rifles, here?"
GSgt - "Yes sir. 47."
CWO - "Gunny, why on earth do you need 47 rifles?"
GSgt - grinning, "Sir, need has nothing to do with it."

Until I joined IPSC/IDPA, there was always a need for one more.
In my case, shooting competitively somehow put a damper on that "need". Don't ask me why. In fact, it REDUCED my once proud collection of thirty guns to a measley seven: my minimum standard for IPSC/IDPA, hunting and CCW.
I guess I'm not a gun nut.
