I'm more of a user than a collector. I try to not have guns that are essentially duplicates of each other or can perform there same role under the same circumstances.

I purchased an S&W Model 65 3" round butt from the S&W Academy. Maybe a year later I won a Ruger Speed six, 2 3/4" in competition, essentially the same type of gun. So., the Ruger eventually got evicted from the safe.
