How bad is your collecting got ?

[Mortech]

OK today I managed to score a 6906 for my collection , the way it came about is a indicator of how bad I got the S&W collecting bug . I went to my favorite shop to sell off a rifle i didn't want anymore . Well it turns out a employee of the store knowing how bad I like collecting S&W semiautos had recent made a private purchase of the 6906 with the PRIMARY intent of holding on to it in case I showed up

.Well anyway he got a rifle he wanted and I got the 6906 plus cash from him , so far in the past 3 weeks I've walked out of that store with a 4026 and the 6906 . Now I need to know should I seek counseling and has anyone else here been so marked by their favorite gunpusher ...er dealer .


BTW , another employee there is a proud owner of a FBI 1076 which he uses to taunt me unmercifully . I MUST have it !

I funded most of my S&W purchases since November last year by selling my comic book collection, 1/2 in November and 1/2 in February (I hadn't looked at them for almost five years). I also sold a Sig P228, CZ83 and a Beretta 84F. That money is gone now.

In early December 2006, I owned one S&W, a Model 342 Ti which I sold last year (just too light). Now, I own the following S&W handguns:

15 - 3rd generation pistols
1 - 2nd generation pistol
3 - J frames
4 - L frames
3 - N frames

And I'm not even going to get into the M1 Garands, Swiss K31s, Makarov pistols, Glocks and Sigs.

Oh yeah . . . it's gotten bad.

I have personal cell phone numbers for two guys that work at different gun shops in town. What's worse is they have mine, and use it! (and I'm like an exuberant little puppy when they do)

 

[S. Kelly]

Very, Very bad. Just ask my wife.

 

[varoadking]

I bought my last one this afternoon...

 

[29Wheelgunner]

I only have:
One shotgun
One rifle
One revolver
One Semi-auto

Just ask my wife.

 

[gmchenry]

My wife knew I had one black one, one silver one, and one black and silver one.

If it's not impacting your family's financial situation, seems like an OK vice to me.

...but I may be biased.

 

[feralmerril]

I dont collect at all anymore. I have a nice collection that I mostly built up in the 60s and 70s. There are several rare guns that I would like to get, but being retired I have backed way off.

 

[Mortech]

I see , well I already had most wholeseller s on speed dial , but ysterday I found out about 10 shops in the I-5 corridor have MY number on their speed dial in order to notify me of incoming S&Ws . I also sold off all but 2 of my non S&W to fund this collection spree .

Did I miss it? Where's the Makarov? I think I see a CZ52 and CZ82, but no Mak . . .

 

[gmchenry]

It's too bad you lost all of that stuff in the "boating accident".

 

[oily_oink]

Nice collection my friend!

You can never have enough!!!

Dick, No I don't have a Mak, would like one, but the chance hasn't come around yet. Looking for a Tok too!!

I just come to this thread to feel better about myself. when it went past one (1) uno gun, my wife started calling it a collection.
In fairness.. It's not my hobby so I keep tools and probably have 2 more than i need of those.
btw: you guys have more than my local gun shop !!
