Those that know me know I'm just ridiculously anal when it comes to logistics of guns. I have been looking for 3 guns for 10+ years; and now I have purchased all 3.. (Patience is a virtue I seem to have a lot of)
So I have gotten my life down to:
2 handgun calibers (.40SW & .357Mag)
1 Universal practice caliber (.22LR)
1 Rifle caliber (.308)
1 Shotgun caliber (20 gauge)
I am however, thinking about selling my handgun in .40SW and getting a Desert Eagle in .357Mag, thus eliminating yet another caliber.
My working theory is that every gun should have an equivalent gun in .22LR caliber for recoiless practice and low ammo cost as well as to show someone the action when you take them to the range.
If you guys have suggestions for how to be even more logistical, please let me know.
So without further ado.. The guns and the categories:
Hanguns:
Steyr M40 (.40SW)
Ruger 22/45 (.22LR)
Rifle (semi-auto action):
M1A National Match (.308)
Ruger 10/22 (.22LR)
Beretta AL391 or Benelli M2 (20 gauge to be purchased)
Bolt action:
Mauser K98 modified (.308)
Ruger 77/357 (.357 Mag To be purchased)
Ruger 77/22 (.22LR To be purchased)
Pump action:
Browning BPS (20 gauge)
Timberwolf (.357Mag Waited 10 years!!)
Remington 572 (.22LR)
Revolver:
Ruger GP100 5" (.357Mag Waited 10 years also!)
Ruger SP101 2.25" (.357Mag as CCW)
Ruger SP101 2.25" (.22LR just bought this today! Waited 11 years!)
So the original "Cowboy Logistics (tm)" was a rifle, a sidearm, and a ccw of the same caliber. I achieve that with a Timberwolf on the sling, the GP100 on the hip, and SP101 IWB all in .357Mag.
Or you can do the .22LR version of this, Remington 572 on the sling, Ruger 22/45 on the hip, and Ruger SP101 on the IWB. In better theory; Ruger now have a 5" .22LR. Which is a consideration.
I do own 2 AR15 lowers; and I am conflicted about them as I hate AR's but I own the lowers already and was thinking about building them into full guns; but that would introduce .223 into my life; and that would be unlogistical..
