Do you own any duplicate guns - multiple examples of the same design, Jow Forums? If so, why?
For me I've got three Glock 19s: one Gen 2, one Gen 3, and one Gen 3 set up as a Roland Special with RMR, x300u, and a KKM barrel with compensator. All of them feel and handle differently enough that I like having all of them, and it's nice that they share the same magazines and ammunition - as well as very easy to find parts. I also have a Gen 2 Glock 17, but that's slightly different than just another 19.
I've also got 3 CZ-82s; Aimsurplus had them for sale so cheap ($200 apiece for slightly chipped grip models) that I figured I'd buy two of them. Bought a third over this weekend for another $200 out the door, with the original toolkit-looking holster and a spare mag. Of all the C&R handguns out there, they seem to be the most modern (ambi safety/mag release, double stack mag, polygonal rifling) and a real pleasure to shoot. Also have a CZ-83 in .380 ACP; would love one in .32.
Rifle wise, I've got two Chinese SKS rifles, with a few more on the way. Both of mine were made for the "Public Security Bureau," essentially China's police force - but in different factories. Pretty neat comparing the small differences between the two (bolt carrier finish; how at one factory the Chinese stamped the entire serial number on the stock but only the last 5 digits at the other factory, etc.) Fit/finish on police rifles seems to be a little higher than bog standard examples; I like collecting this particular kind of SKS.
Finally - though they very a lot more than the Glocks/SKSs, I've also got a few AKs. Have a Yugo O-PAP that's been slightly modded (M70 gas block with bayonet lug, original night sights, a sling swivel jerry-rigged between the stock and receiver), a milled Arsenal SAM-7, and a Romanian AES-10B RPK. Nice that even though they vary a lot in handling and weight, they still share the same magazines, ammo, and some parts like the FCG.
I've got to Makarovs a buddy and I got them together for fun shooting in 2000. When he passed away his little brother gave it to me. I keep them together in a box sometimes I take them out and clean them but I don't shoot them anymore.

No, it’s cheaper to just buy extra magazines not a whole other gun.
William Nelson
You can just take the empty magazine and put it into a fully loaded gun. I’d rather have three glocks and one magazine as they can all use the same one.
Nicholas Nelson
Do your CZ 82s have problems with the mags being drop free?
Cameron Perry
Literally me. I've got Glock 22 gen 2 excellent condition which is pretty rare,Gen 2 were know for that cheap nitride finish,Gen 3 perfection frying pan finish,Gen 4 has that same cheap nitride finish from Gen 2 but with a bit of gloss

Why yes I have multiple hi-points scattered randomly throughout my house.
It varies by the mag - funny you should ask that. In the pic, one of my mags drops free no problem; the other one will hang up and require me to pry it out of the gun. I have about 6-8 other surplus mags that vary also like this; some drop free and some don't.
I could maybe file the problem mags to not hang up, but I don't really want to deal with that - these surplus military mags are a little scarcer than before.
People joke about these, but they conceal super easy. I prefer two because the clip size, and two really balances things out. Also, if shit goes down, and I need to do social work, I can duel-wield.
I own two FS2000’s Mostly because one is a Standard and the other is a Tactical but also because certain parts are fucking unobtanium since they’ve been discontinued

Who the fuck pays that for glock mags when magpul glock mags are almost 1/2 that price and run flawlessly in my G19?
Asher Reed
Do you only shoot brass cased ammo? The magpul glockazines I bought only work with brass cased ammo and started to choke with steelcase after a few uses. Same with ETS mags. Then I bought a bunch of used glock mags for $12 each and stopped wasting my time with aftermarket crap.

I have a few duplicates if they are different enough for me to enjoy them both. Many times it becomes 'the nice one' and 'the shooter'.
For example, I have two Model 10's. One has a bit of holster wear and is 'the shooter'. This one is unfired and is 'the nice one'. I wouldn't have been interested in this one if the price hadn't been so attractive.
