Multiple guns

Take a look at the M&P .45 Compact: same size as the Glock 19 with 9 rounds of .45ACP. It's a very soft shooter, and if I could only have one pistol I wouldn't complain if it were this one.

My wife said, "you're not helping!". But, I think I need this gun, too.

It's like a bag of lays chips, you can't just have one. Also like a can of Pringles, once you pop you can't stop!
 
My first M&P in Jan., a Shield 40 for CCW. March, an M&P-22 for me and my daughter to plink around. ? an M&P 40 FS just because I want one.
 
Got my 1st gun a bit over a year ago, an old Colt. Loved shooting it but thought I should get something new to 'save' the old colt since it was a family piece. So a Buckmark was added. Then figured id like to get a wee bit more oomph so picked up a 9c. I really enjoy it so........

And my tattoos seemed to start the same way, only diff is i wasn't 50 when I got my first ink lol
 
I didn't need a gun. I had to get the girl friend to sell her's....to me. Then I felt safe. She is a hell of a shot. That was April of 2005. I felt safe enough to break up with her then.

The disease sat dormant until March of 2011. It really began to escalate then. I got worried about leaving all the guns in the house. Now I own a safe which is bulging.

It has been fun. Like drugs or alcohol with a lower monitory loss. You see the guns go up in value if you resist impulse buying and build a decent collection. S&W revolvers have been doing better than the stock market.

Go slow, enjoy the ride, drag it out. Cash is king. Plastic will sink you if you're not careful.

BTW I am over 50 and am in remission. The signs and symptoms are almost gone. :D:D:D

I don't care for the M&P 9s since I haven't owned one that can compare to the 45s or other brands of 9s in the accuracy department. I did just pick up another barely used M&P FS45 just yesterday for no reason other than I think it's the most comfortable poly 45 on the market, with great accuracy to boot. I mumbled "what am I going to do with two of them." while looking it over and the store clerk said" Well, you'll have one for each hand." I see it as a back-up since I'm using my first one for home defense.

Owning one gun is hard to do if you like shooting them. I don't want to even tell you the number of firearms I've gone through over the years to settle on what I like best.
 
I went to the range today, and instantly saw three guns that I'd like to add to my collection.

- M&P Full
- Ruger; like the full M&P
- Dessert Eagle (just to shoot it at least once!)

I have traded guns only once.. I don't regret the decision. The gun I traded, I tried for almost a year to like it and to get it to work right. I never could get it to behave. It was not unsafe, I would never trade an unsafe gun. It tore primers and would not hit POA. Nobody could get it to hit POA. I traded it for my 9c and I have not looked back since.

Agreed x100.

I've traded 3 and sold 1. I regret all of them. All the trades were before I had kids and thought I'd never have any. Swapped a 870 Wingmaster lightweight magnum 20 gauge for a compound bow once (let that sink in for a minute) - how I'd like my son to have that now. It won't happen again.
 
Of the few guns I've owned, I've sold two. One I regret, one that I was glad to get rid of. I sold a Browning .380, made in Belgium, that I still kick myself over. The one I don't regret was a SW40VE, that had the worst trigger I've ever used. The trigger pull was horrible. I actually sold it for more than I had in it, so I was happy with that.
 
I always had a good reason to sell or trade guns at the time, but looking back regret each and every one!

For new guns....I've started to count them in numbers of new safes I've had to buy to store them.

I just kept thinking one doesn't need more than one gun. I understand protection and enthusiasts. But, my Mum sort of always encouraged me to not 'over do it'. Now I think to myself, I work hard, I pay my bills, I only socially drink and I don't smoke ANYTHING, thus why not have more than one gun. I should have kept my G19, and merely added the M&P Shield and conceal carry.

All that to say, I will probably get an M&P Full (not sure what it is really called) at some stage. Might as well 'match' :)

And you and the mrs. just thought it was costly to add all her accessories (shoes, belts, jewelry) to her wardrobe ;)

You're gonna need to start accessorizing :D

The missus just advised me that she wants a Smith & Wesson Airweight. I'm going to be broke soon.
