Those with collections - which to shoot?

[Brutalmisfit90]

Everytime me and my dad go out to the range we always bring at least one of his Ruger Blackhawkes, and I'm really excited to see how his new Redhawke is going to shoot

I shoot my carry gun and my .22s the most. The other sort of just get cycled through.

Always my GP-100 and always my Ruger MKII Target, after that it's usually whatever gun I've been working with lately. I'm a tinkerer and seem to always have a gun with a new part or something I need to function test or some new reloads that need to be tried.

To be honest I'm starting to tire of the fixing and testing and would just like to shoot and enjoy so I may lay off the tinkering for a while.

Tinkering... Sounds like me with one of my Milsurp pistols...

I know what you mean. A few weeks ago i took a long hard look at my collection. Standing there looking in my safe i thought how in the world did i wind up with so many guns? Out of 34 handguns (and i know by some standards that's a small collection), there's only a few that ever get shot, some of them haven't been shot in two or three years. Maybe more.

The ones i usally take to the range seems to always be the same ones:
Glock 17/23/26.
S&W 642.
Springfield XD40.
Ruger Security Six.
And is what is sure to become one of my favorites, a Star Firestar 9mm.

I decided to thin it out a bit. I'm keeping a few favorites, and the ones that were my dads, selling the rest, sticking the money in the bank, and when i finish the jeep, using the money to start building my '58 Chevy step side. I'm still gonna have 20 handguns left.

But i decided the bare bones collection should have:

.357 wheelgun:One of the most versatile handgun rounds made.
.22 revolver or simi auto of your choice:Just so much fun. Cheap and fun. What more could you ask for?
.9mm:Great all around home defense/range/fun/plinking guns. And cheap to shoot
Big bore auto of your choice:Every one should have one "just because".
A big ass wheelgun like a .454 Casull, Ruger .460 or maybe a S&W .500 mag.
