I mean yeah

Whatever happened to variety being the spice of life?

Nope. My plan has always been to buy duplicates though. One for the range, one for carry. Sometimes one offs just to get a feel for a certain thing see if I like it.

Poverty strikes again. It's the only actual reason 9mm is "king."

3 guns, 45acp, 9mm, 22lr, next handgat is 7.62x25

Tokarev?

hes allergic to peanuts so leave out the spice you never know!

Probably should just cc a single stack 9

Nah. Variety is nice.

nah, I enjoy .22 just as much as I enjoy .25, 9mm (((almost))) as much as .40, .45acp is fun but .357 will always be my love. I wouldn't want to be without any of them though

Variety is great. However when Sunday gun cleaning day comes and you bust out 3 kits with 7 different brush sizds... And then each gun gets less and less detailed care, it gets out of hand. Fine if you're single. But I got other things to do. I have 22LR, 9mm, 38 spl, 45 ACP. Trying to sell the 38 and 45.

I have more peace of mind having a streamlined collection.

I just shoot 9mm out of different sized CZ 75s. It works for me.

are you implying that 9mm is Jewish?

You doing minimize your collection by number of weapons and caliber. It's cool to have tons of guns but this hobby is a never ending money pit. If shtf, to can realistically only shoot 1 gun and use only a few calibers. To haul 10+ guns is unnecessarily heavy. To move all the ammo for multiple calibers takes a lot of trips and divides your funds. Cleaning all of them is annoying. Each platform gets used less, so you are less effective overall. If you plan on passing out weapons to members of your group, forget it. People leave over the smallest of things especially when personalities barely clash. Try to remember who has what. Fuck that, they should have prepared.
Reduce the collection to 2-5 guns, with only 1gun in each category, which are
×combat long arm
×sidearm
>utility gun (shotgun or 22)
>long range
>loaner
After that, spend money elsewhere

If you're in AZ let me know. .38 and .45 are my favorites.

Well yeah 5.7 is the real king

Having jut one is boring as fuck but having more than two gets expensive.

.22lr dosen't count though

Not necessarily, but if you have concerns about prepping, you should stock a shitload of common calibers and buy multiple matching guns for each caliber.

2 at the very least. 1 for light 1 for heavy like 9mm and .45 acp. All matters on the 2 you chose.
Myself I have 22lr, 380, 9mm and 45 acp. 22 for plinking, 380 for light cc, 9mm for bedside and 45 for heavy cc and woods. Honestly you cant go wrong with .38 and .357 mag for my same setups. It comes down to what you like to use and note: Hi-Point carbines are fun as hell.

>should
you fucked up

>luger
there's jew in the blood

Double stack 380 is lighter and easier to control recoil, also +p's are the same as 9mm

>+p's are the same as 9mm

I have no two guns in the same caliber, though I'm thinking about getting a second .22 or .357.

>guns are a hobby
>definitely not one you should have fun with though

No.

>shtf
I'm not into guns for SHTF, because I'm not retarded. I'm into guns because I like guns. SHTF is a fantasy.

I think a better response would be, "should all your cars have the same motor?"

TOO MUCH VARIETY!
MAKE IT STOP!

My wife and I have the same carry pistol in .40 s&w (Glock 23). The rest of our guns are all different calibers, mostly.

>Glock 23
ah yes, the high pressure hand grenade

I've only had 22lr and 9mm handguns for years. I finally just got a 1911 in fuddyfive two days ago. Except for the fact that I could have spent the money on more 9mm instead, me having it doesn't hurt me or my 9mm guns at all.

I usually pick the caliber by the job. But, I do find as a reloader that it's nice to have multiple guns sharing the same caliber. Then I adjust the bullet weight & powder charge to the gun.

I own 3 guns and all different cailers.
I don't see the point to own the same style gun.

>ruger lcr in 38 special
>tangfolio witness in 9mm
>kahr ct40 in 40 s&w

I just don't see the point of getting 8 guns all in 9mm.
What's the point?

This

Ya, or an m57

If its a toyota tacoma, then yes.

Nah. Just have ammo on hand to feed them and it's fine.

Only time you need to worry about matching calibers is for the sake of logistics, like a group of you are going on a road trip and you all have your CC pieces - having them all in the same ammo would be a good idea, imo. Or if the SHTF and glow-in-the-dark-CIA-Chink-Nigger-commifa invade and you're working with other resistance fighters. Ammo commonality would be good.

For a Jow Forumsommando it doesn't matter at all. If you like the gun, buy it, keep a few hundred rounds of ammo on hand for it and store it safely when not using it.
