Call it rationalization/justification but each of my revolvers fits a certain niche – barrel length, chambering, size, SA/DA, or just aesthetics.My newest purchase of this colt viper got me questioning. Why do I need so many revolvers. Am I nuts? You can’t carry them all! I could whittle down to 4 and be happy. Wait… WTH? This is crazy talk!!! Get thee behind me Satan! I HAVE to have all the ones I have. I use them all and they all see rotation. Ever had thoughts like this??. Guilt I guess.. I dunno. All mine stay. Your thoughts..

Me too!!! 
I'd be "pretty dang content" for a little while. I know me though - the "content" feeling wouldn't last for long.
OMG, that's funny, I like your way of thinking.Revolvers usually have six shots.
So, if you want the equivalent of, say, a Glock, you have to buy three revolvers...
To equal a pistol owner with ten pistols, you need thirty revolvers!
It's not rocket science for crying out loud
Don't even get me going with AR15s...
You better get going and buy more!

I will admit that it’s possibly becoming a bit of an issue…maybe, when you have to buy an entirely new safe, take out the innards and add five shelves, then cut the legs off of 8-gun pistol racks to shorten them, all in order to squeeze less than half of your accumulated handguns inside.

So, @shoebox1.1, I think you’re doing just fine.
Stay safe. O
At first glance I thought that photo was of a vending machine.

Not Altamonts shoebox, but I think Keith Brown Ropers are appropriate on a 67…

@shoebox1.1 Didn't you just procure a Viper not long ago? You are on a roll, sir.
I have too many revolvers, but not very many are high-quality like that...

Only because it's a grail gun for me I couldn't keep my hands off the "Buy" button for this war horse. A 1943 WWII S&W US Navy Marked Victory Revolver in 38 spl. She was issued to pilot as his carry firearm. Been waiting for a US Navy marked one for a while.

Love it!
As I posted in that other thread about the Sig M11-A1s, I have one just like it. Mine's in a cheap, shoulder holster (with "US" stamped on the side) - almost like the one I carried when I was a Aircrewman in Navy choppers (1968-1972) - it wasn't just Navy Pilots that were issued Model 10 M&Ps, sometimes they were issued to Navy Aircrewmen as well.
I'm going to die happy regardless. I suspect I'd die happier though if I had a US Navy marked Model 10 38 Special revolver when it happens.
CRS is real!I have so many now I actually forget some of them. Now when I find one I forgot about, it’s like new gun day!

One day I was sitting on my motorcycle, wondering what to do next? 
He appeared, with an idea that wasn't really illegal, but kinda cool. As you, I said "get thee behind me, Satan", and he climbed on the jump seat, and away we went!

Never ask a boy to do a man's job...
And never ask an automatic pistol to do a revolver's job... The pistol will &%@# it up...every time.
Smokeless powder is a passing fad.........

For many, many years I said who needs a Colt because my first handgun was a Ruger Blackhawk and many more of those and S & W's. Then I shot my cousins Officers Model Target 38 Special and had to have one and it's nice. I added a snubby and King Cobra but got rid of them and resisted all temptations because my gunsmith tuned New Vaquero was better than an expensive Colt...
Getting older and came across an ad on the Ruger Forum. I couldn't stop going back and looking and then it sold and I said good! Relieved of my yearning I moved along. Then one day, it was back! The buyer backed out and the temptation returned to haunt me. As I struggled I looked up many old posts by Mark Mark looking for flaws in all of his dealings to make me not do it but in the end I succumbed to the pressure and have my first SAA. A 4 3/4" 44 Special and it is smother and better than my tuned New Vaquero! Spring came back today and it's time to go shooting every day!
