I have quite a few handguns in a variety of calibers, with most of them being .22, .32, or .45. IMO it makes sense to have every style of handgun in .22 (SA and DA revolver, small semi, medium semi, large semi and preferably with an external hammer), then if you're a 9mm fan you may as well do the same, but outside of those calibers, it's tough for me to say that you should get 3 or more pistols in the same caliber. Maybe for .45 if you like the revolvers for the extra power (talking Ruger only .45 Colt) and semi auto for the ease of suppression. Nice thing about the Ruger .45's is they give you the option of shooting .45 ACP from their normally .45 Colt wheelguns.
I have two Glock .40s and will add a 10mm Glock eventually and given that 10mm Glocks shoot .40 no problemo I regret that one of those .40 Glocks is a G35, however having a 9mm barrel for that doesn't make it hurt so bad. That said, do I feel I need any more .40 or 10mm pistols? No, but a single stack Kahr .40 would have been interesting when they were $200 6 months ago.
A lot of my interest in owning several handguns in the same caliber has to do with different sizes, which is why I own so many .22's. I figure if I like a caliber enough, it may be worth it for me to get it in several pistols of varying size or function. I don't do it for every caliber, while I love 10mm I only want it in one pistol.
It's different for revolvers. I do plan to get the 7 shot .357/9mm Taurus some day and that would be my 4th wheelgun in the .357/.38 caliber. For whatever reason I want a larger 7 shot instead of the 5 shot Charters. The Charters are light, easy to carry but I think the larger Taurus will be more comfortable to shoot due to the extra weight.
.32 revolvers I have an obsession with (along with most .32 handguns) and plan to own at least a dozen of them. Absolutely no reason to other than they're cheap H&R .32's or I just really liked the guns they were in.
