So, as I have noted recently I have been going through a bunch of platform consolidation and reworking of my reloading setup. Mainly because my wife and I are moving into the "empty nest" years (that's how she puts it, I call it "getting the kids off the payroll years").
As such I have been doing a boatload of horse trading and buying (don't tell her, way more of the latter) to get to where I want to be, which is;
Alignment of calibers (mostly .45 and 9mm) and product/manufacturer so I become more proficient and have some overlap in my products.
Thus, I am down to (effectively) Berettas and Sigs.
I am trying to decide if I go ahead and hone down to just one or the other. Mostly because I will be doing some basic gunsmithing myself and the more I know about a given gun type the better I will be at this aspect.
As such, I am leaning toward my Beretta platform. For two main reasons;
- I already have more Beretta's than anything else
- They are way cheaper to obtain than Sigs (meaning I can have even more)
- I am probably more familiar with Beretta than Sig (which means I am quicker to modify them than a $1000 Sig.
So, thoughts on this?
Maybe I am just justifying it to myself and rambling, but I thought I would get you guys views.
