How many handguns do you own ?

[Geno]

Every time that I buy a new pistol, I think to myself...now, now my collection is complete. Then, I see a pistol or revolver that is newer, shinier, more potent, smaller, cuter, hotter, sleeker, more rugged, more useful, more refined, multi-use, longer, shorter, taller, smaller. And then I realized...I have never seen a firearm I wouldn't like to own. So, I have rededicated my life to making me happy by acquiring every pistol, revolver and long gun that I can before I die.

 

[3pairs12]

I voted 3-5 and 2-3 because I own 3 and I am open to more.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

The number of respondents to "sixteen or more" surprised me a little. I have fifteen.

Glock - 1
Beretta - 1
CZ - 1
Smith & Wesson - 5
Ruger - 4
Kahr - 2
Colt - 1

I have much more fascination with handguns than long guns. I have only three rifles (two of which are .22s) and no shotguns.

 

[rockinrussky]

CZ-82 - 9x18
Taurus PT1911 - 45 acp
Springfield XD - 357 sig

I like good, practical firearms for a practical price.

Or pity him. Your choice.

[col_tapiocca]

I've total 6 handguns

Revolver:
S&W Mod. 686, S&W Mod. 625, NAA Mini Revolver (it's more like a toy then a gun...)

Pistol:
Colt 1911A1 Serie 70, SigSauer P225 and Sphinx AT-2000 (a swiss made CZ-75 clone)

 

[IronSightRot671]

One- SiG P226 9MM, It's my daily CCW. I'm more into Carbines/Rifles. But, I will like to get at least a 44 Mag in the future.

The Model 29 was the first pistol I shot also. I like the six shooters for some reason.

[Baldy518]

How Many?

I do not care to make it public.

 

[TurboJeff]

Colt Mk III .357 snubby.
S&W Model 36, circa mid 50's.
S&W Model 65-2, .357 Magnum

I was thinking this was the revolver forum. Not counting many very old guns inherited from my Uncle, and my 2 Grandfathers, here are some autoloaders that see quite a bit of range time. Also leaving out my Father's handguns, which we share.

Glock 23
Glock 30
Custom built Colt based 1911 in .38 special. No comp, set up for Limited class IPSC
Custom built Colt based 1911 in .38 special. Set up for unlimited with optics, comp, any Much more
Custom built Colt based 1911 in .38 special. Also set up as a "racegun", but this one takes double stack mags...Sweet

Amazingly (or Expensive more accurately), I have belts, holsters, mag pouces, etc. for every gun listed here. The accessories seem to add up almost as much as the guns. Of course ammo prices are becoming rediculous. We load (Dillon) our own reloader, but we are currently only reloading .38 supers. I have a feeling we will be expanding into reloading .40s and .45s. My try some .357 reloading soon

 

[Dick1911]

After looking at the poll results and Gixerman1000s and Rangegods armory...

....I feel so, so inadequate

Nice collections!

 

[22-rimfire]

I don't know. More than 16. The only way I know the correct answer is to look it up and I continue to buy more. If someone stole one, I might not know for well over a year. I just don't look at them often.

 

[orionengnr]

Actually, quite a few less than I had a year, or two years ago...and I have a few more that I will be selling this year as I continue the process.

I'm getting down to the ones I really like and use--and by that I mean carry or take to the range regularly.

One .22--Ruger MkII
One 38/357--S&W M586, well used
One 9mm--Kahr PM9
Two .45s--Kahr P45, Kimber Ultra Carry

Not to say I won't find something I can't live without it tomorrow...but it might be a duplicate of one of the above

 

[VHinch]

More than I need, less than I want.
