david8613 69 Posted December 7, 2011 how many of you own multiple different guns in the same caliber? what gun do you have and in what calibers? i ask this because i pretty much have my bases covered with calibers between .380 and 10mm, but i have some permits coming my way and just wondering?

Maksim 1,504 Posted December 7, 2011 All the calibers except 40 (of which I only have one), have a few variants in the same caliber.... only exception may be some oddball C&R rifles in 7.5 Jap, 6.5 Swed. multiple 22's, 9's, and even 45 GAP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M4BGRINGO 139 Posted December 7, 2011 Not enough! One .38 Special, that's all the little gun handles. Several .357 Magnums. Have a 1911 (.45 ACP) and a 625, get to share the same ammo. Have a 96FS (.40 cal) and a 610, get to share the same ammo. Have a 92FS but not going to buy a 9mm revolver, they want more than they're worth. Going to buy a carbine that uses one of the "common" rounds, 9mm, .40 or .45, haven't decided which yet. Only need it for the times I can't use the AK's at outdoor matches. Forgot: Lot's of 12 gauges! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usnmars 136 Posted December 8, 2011 I purposely search for guns in the same caliber. It makes stocking up on ammo a lot easier. I try to keep the common calibers such as x39, x54, 30-06, .45, 9mm No matter where you go in the country someone will have some ammo in that flavor.

Soju 153 Posted December 8, 2011 Well, I only have 3 pistols, all are different calibers. The only 2 firearms I have of the same caliber, are a .22lr rifle and pistol. Unless revolvers become part of my future, I don't see myself getting any other pistol NOT in one of the 3 calibers of pistols I already own. And guys, this is the handguns section, I think so of you missed that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MedicYeti 96 Posted December 8, 2011 I have quite a few. I have too many calibers as it is, so I don't buy anything that isn't in a already owned caliber. I have a few revolvers that are 357/38 a couple 45's a couple 40's some 7.62x54r's some 8mm's a bunch of 223's the list goes on. I may add another caliber in the near future, I'm weighing my options. I want an AK style rifle and a Mini 14 rifle. I could stay with 223 for both which is a bit boring. I could do 223 in the mini and 7.62x54r on the AK style rifle. Or just go 7.62x39 for both.

rauchman 3 Posted December 8, 2011 I currently have... .22lr 6 (2 pistol, 4 rifle) 9mm 9 pistols + 1 conversion barrel .40 3 pistols .45 3 pistols .223/5.56 3 rifles/carbines .308/7.62 1 rifle The idea of getting into other calibers definitely interests me. The thought of financing them makes me cringe. Handgun, I'd consider 357/38, 45LC, 10mm, 5.7 and 357 Sig. Rifle, the 6.5 Grendal really interests me, followed my .260 Rem/6.5 Creedmore as a distant 2nd. 30-06, .300 Whisper and a lever action in 357/44mag sound interesting too. Still have to get a shotgun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njJoniGuy 2,133 Posted December 9, 2011 I have concentrated almost all of my firearms in 4 calibers: .22lr, .223/5.56, .38spl/.357mag, and .45acp I have both long arms and handguns in all four, including a large number of duplicates. The only exception is the LCP in .380 Not sure it has enough oomph to make a decent rifle caliber, nor have I ever seen a rifle chambered in .380acp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoid 24 Posted December 9, 2011 For semis I'll only get 9mm or 45ACP. No interest in 40 and the other calibers are too expensive to shoot and not enough brass to reload. I plan on getting a revolver and while it'd make sense to get one in 45ACP I just see 357mag as THE revolver caliber so will most likely get that.

GRIZ 3,369 Posted December 9, 2011 It would be easier for me to respond with what guns I only have one in that caliber. I realized long ago that having "one of each caliber" is interesting to collect but a logistical nightmare to feed. I figured out what calibers do what I need (or perceive that I need) and bought guns in those calibers. I don't own a 10mm, 40 S&W, 357 SIG, and a whole bunch of others. Doesn't make them bad, just I don't have a need for them. 22 leads my list in handgun calibers and 30-06 for rifles but most of those are Garands.
