My Life is Unmanageable

[Bhfromme]

My name is Bill, and I'm a revolverholic.

My finances are a mess but all I can think about is my next revolver. Beer drinkers have beer-thirty. I have range-thirty. I've even found myself shooting during the day when I should be working.

I'll quit tomorrow. But today check out my latest acquisition. A hardly fired 13-2 4" in nickel. I'm thinking about not even shooting it but where's the fun in that?

Is there a twelve step program for revolverholics?

There's a 12 gun program. Congrats. My 13 is one of my favorite shooters.

 

[Sgt 45]

There are those that need a 24 or 36 gun program. 12 seems a bit low. Been a LONG time since I carried a 13, like the early 70's.

I was on Third gens then I started on revolvers too. I know the feeling.

I feel your pain two years ago I joined the gun of the month club. Last week I bought a chiappa rhino because I don't have one and my gun pusher said by the way I have a like new H&K p9s, and for me he would drop 3 hundred dollars off, what was i to do? So ill have another handgun coming in the mail in a week or two. [emoji2958][emoji2958][emoji2958]

Ahhhh, pitiful pore thing

I tend to go slow now, I tried the 12 step program decades ago, buying once a month it didn't slow me down when I seen the sale on s&w n frames new for $699.

You know we're a bunch of enablers, right?

Nice revolver!

One year not too long ago I was doing about a gun a week. Then I got married and I got cut down to about one every 2 months. It's been really hard but I'm managing.

I tried the 12 step program but moving into a place just 12 steps from the LGS was very difficult so I moved to a place about 100 miles away. That really helped until I found their website and that they would put the revolvers back for me until I could make it in to take them home. Good Luck!

Here's what has been written about the "geographical cure":
And yet, at one point or another, we will get it into our heads that we can cure our addiction to (revolvers) by simply changing locations. We may try moving to a place where we have always been happy. We may try moving to a place where we (don't have access to revolvers). But most of us will find, some sooner than others, that this method seldom works.

Hi Bill!
Here in Virginia we now have a one handgun a month law. I suffered through this years ago until the law was eliminated, but now it is back. My bank account will soon start to suffer, yet again, as I will try to be a law abiding citizen and buy one handgun every month.

I'm bill and I have a problem. I like nickel finish either s&w or colt I just have to have it. The only thing I haven't collected yet is women.

Yes, and today is your lucky day. I'm providing counselling free of charge, I prescribe you to start buying Semi-Autos, preferably 1911 style.

Hey Bill,
I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear, it sounds like you seriously have all of your priorities screwed up.
I'd hate to see your retirement plan, if any?
I also knew a gun forum member that, he too, had your problem. He finally had to give up the "gun of the month" club also because of his lack of finances, willpower and a severely screwed up set of priorities.
STOP BUYING GUNS YOU CAN'T AFFORD!

 

[Troutscout]

I send my new 60-15 in to S&W every other month for repair. It's kinda like a gun of the month club...until the next month.

 

[quikdraw67]

Live by my rules and you'll be fine.

If I can't pay for it when the Visa bill comes, I don't buy it.

Trading something old for something new can be rewarding and save you $$$.Trade something you don't shoot.

If you have any evil black rifles, or rifles designed by a Red Army Sergeant that you want to sell, they are going for stupid amounts of money right now. You should be able to buy the S&W of your dreams without blowing the kid's college fund.

Good luck.

Too true! I sold a couple plastic guns, and now I can afford some nice old iron... I think the current exchange rate is two plastic guns for three all-steel revolvers. Not so long ago it was the opposite.

I think I just realized why they call this a Reversal of Fortune??

Problem? Where is the problem?

Isn't denial just a river in Egypt?
