4 357s ( had 6 )
4 22LR.

HAD:
2 44 mag ( both gone now ).
3 9mm ( down to 1 now ).
2 12ga ( down to 1 now ).

Do I need a reason?

10mm three pistols Witness compact, Witness full size, Witness Elite Match
7.5X55 Swiss two K31s
308 / 7.62X51 they're the same to me Saiga conversion and Rem 700 / Hart bbl.
45acp PT145, SA XD45, Marlin Camp Carbine
22rf Ruger bull barrel match pistol, Browning takedown rifle, Mossberg mil. trainer
45/70 Marlin 1895, Ruger #3
 
I have 4 .22 and a couple of 12 Ga. I am about to add either another 7.62 X 39 or 5.56, I have one of each. I have to deciede which caliber will be my primary SHTF caliber.
 
Certainly! I like some calibers and I am trying not to add any more calibers but I keep adding guns.

I have 29 duplicates of various calibers. From seven handguns and long guns in .22 Long Rifle to two .38 Specials. I plan on adding a second .45 ACP in the next couple of days as well. :evil:
 
Yes. Two Glocks in .40S&W. I just bought a Lone Wolf conversion barrel for my Glock model 35 and it converts from .40S&W to 9mm!

But I do plan to own all of the .40S&W Glocks.:evil:
 
For me, I can sum it up in a specific statement that can be used as a template for a general rule.

A Marlin 15 YN ain't no Anschütz 2013/690 but they both serve a purpose.
 
I had a few guns in the same caliber (sadly now I have none). A few reasons that I can think of (some apply to me +, others don't -)

- Tried to keep one gun in each caliber, but ran out of calibers.
+ Had shotgun for me and a friend for trap
+ .22 is cheap, needed one in pistol, bolt action rifle, semi-auto rifle
+ I liked the feel of a .357
+ Zombie Attack
+ Less need to store/reload multiple calibers
+ odd ball calibers were too expensive
 
yes.
.223
.45
.9mm
.40 S&W
.357 SIG (i think, dads not home so i'll have to ask later)
12 gauge
i think thats it.
dads collections evolves through the years as his taste changes. however, there is always a .45
oh, almost forgot one
5.7 *grin* now how on earth did i almost forget that!

i bet the reson for people only owning one of a caliber is probably because their collection is not very large.....yet!
 
.223 win - bushmaster xm15
- Savage

.308 win - Tikka t3 varmint
- m14
- FAL

7.62x39 mm- SKS
- AK-47m

The real question is why not? haha, different guns have different uses, bolt actins are usually a little more accurate than the semi alternative, they are also a litttle lighter. but semi FALs, M-16s, AKs are fun as hell to rip off a clip and kill whole familys of targets :)
 
Wow! This is the most replys I've seen for just about any thread in such a short amount of time so I'll give my pennies worth.

.22lr....2 pistols
..........7 rifles

7.62x39......2 AK's
................1 SKS

9mm......3 pistols

45ACP......2 Pistols

".22s are like hangers, they reproduce in the gun closet."

i'm not sure but i think after reveiwing these post, .223 falls under the same catagory.
 
I'd rather keep the calibers to a minimum, and not the guns...I like to have an over abundance of ammo for all of my firearms.:)

Plus, there are so many fun toys chambered in 30-06 and 7.62x54r, its hard not to have more than one(just to name a couple)
