I some days think of cutting down to 5 or 6 weapons period, a shotgun a 223, and 4 or 5 pistols, I may indeed do just that, I end up back close to what I started out with 45 years ago, except for the revolvers.
Unless you're a collector for the sake of collecting, I think what you said is the move. Each of us may have a different number for what we need/want out of our guns but they are tools to me and I don't need 10 different 3/8" sockets. Maybe 2 to have a backup and a deep well.
Figure out what roles you want to cover, if you need a backup for those roles or if one gun can cover several roles well.
Its taken me awhile to figure out what I needed my guns to do, but once I figured out the roles and what guns covered those roles, it got pretty easy. Don't get me wrong, I'm tempted to buy ones I don't "need" and if I do that's OK, they just are luxury items then and not tools.
