Ever Buy A Gun Just Cause It Was Cool?

[zoid 24]

Any of you ever buy a bun solely out of cool-factor? Lately I've been buying a bunch of

full sizes telling myself I should only get guns I know I will use in competition. But that

limits you to full sizes generally and big ugly guns like the G34 (yes I own one). I stayed

away from many guns I wanted because of this "gaming" mentality I developed.

 

Now I'm thinking enough with the full sizes and time to have some fun. I'm looking into

the XDS, the Sig 938, some type of snubby revolver, and just anything that is different

and cool though my fascination is with small subcompact/pocket guns.

 

What is on your "fun" gun list?

i was always under the impression that if i was to buy a hand gun it would need to be big enough for hunting , i did not relize we had all the gun games. thanks to this site and some of the members it opened up a whole new expensive world of fun. now yes some of the guns are bought just because i want them.i am thinking lcr 22 i already got the 357.

Of course

I bought the keltec sub 2000 back in 2003 because it was cool. Then I sold it before I got married in 2007 like a dumbass.

[PK90 3,573]

That is the only reason I buy guns.

[9X19 125]

absolutely

[mustang69 505]

Other than a duty weapon / HD, is there any other reason?

I got my PPK/s because I think it just looks awesome.

An m1 garand for the infinite cool points of having one and its history (but I don't have one yet)

I usually get the ugliest guns so when they go kaboom I can rationalize that they had to go.

I think all guns are cool, so my answer is yes!

[RecessedFilter 222]

For the past year or two, I'd say more than 50% of my purchases were 'unique'. They weren't so much of the 'cool' factor, but I've been buying older guns now and that has opened up a whole new realm. Engraved receivers, anniversary models, the nicest wood ever to be put on guns, and the overall detail that stomps all over new/present day guns. Older guns are just so cool.

Just picked up a pretty cool 1978 Browning BDA 45 Cal, It's got Browning Arms Co. Morgan Utah, Montreal P.Q. listed on one side of the gun and Sig Sauer System made in West Germany on the other. Otherwise known as a Sig Sauer P220 Neat stuff! huh.

My usual buying philosophy is buying just because I don't have it

[The_Matrix 105]

Yes, there lies the problem!

Yup, and there's never an end to it.

Getting married was the dumbass move or selling the keltec? LOL!

[checko 180]

Yeah, I buy all my guns for the fun value. I honestly never got into this sport for the "defense" aspect and I never intended to use any of them for that purpose. I've since learned a great respect for the responsibility that comes with being a gun owner.

 

Still just like to blow sh*t up though.

[tony357 386]

several.. caliber has allot to do with this.. even oddball calibers.. I have a DE baby eagle 41AE..

Exactly

[DbleTrouble 8]

I buy them to use them. I was going to buy a judge but decided not to after I realized that 410s don't have enough stopping power and the accuracy of the gun is poor. So my answer is no.

Shoot one, it'll change your mind. And 45 long colt has been putting dudes in the dirt since the wild wild west.

Ray Ray, you tried to make me buy a gun just because you wanted to watch me buy a gun, any gun LOL

[reed338 11]

Harry you dont have to buy one . any time you feel like getting beatup a bit you can borrow mine

[Kasanova 2]

That's the reason why I would like a S&W 1911, it has the cool factor.

Of course! It was a fun day. I met a handful of nice, like-minded guys, and spent the better part of the day with them. I know I still haven't made it out to Lehigh Sporting Clays but I still plan to meet up with as many of you as I can again. Heck, I have a local friend that shoots there all the time and I haven't gone, so it aint you or anything
