Anyone ever buy the exact same gun you already own?

Recommended Posts

I just got a Browning Buckmark and I love it. I saw another for sale different finish and grips and was thinking about picking that up as well. I think it is the same model but I have not seen it in person. I will take a look at it tomorrow. Does this sound silly and a waste of a permit?

Does anyone have two or more of the exact same guns?

I considered buying another 23 just to have a stock Glock. Granted I'm considering selling my 23 so I can get a 22 or 35 and work that one but then have a stock one also. So IMHO. No, not silly at all in your case because they are technically 2 different guns.

The Browning Buckmark the fantastic 22 pistol. I would take it over the Ruger any day of the week. The only downside I see to it is the base Camper model has a plastic rear sight base that can easily strip. Take a look at the higher end UDX model. It has a metal base that won't strip and the Rosewood grips on it are beautiful.

And here i thought i was gonna read about already having the EXACT model handgun bought after you found the same one tucked deep somewhere in your safe forgotten about. :) I like that story better

Lol that would be funny. I don't own enough guns to have one lost at the bottom of a safe.

I did hear a story or two from Hickok 45 that he did this numerous times. He most have hundreds of guns he forgot about. What a life.

Collectors seek different variations of the same model, and it's great to have a back up to your self defense piece (afterall it will be held as evidence during litigation), but I don't see the advantage in having multiples, especially many multiples, of the "exact" same firearm. "Gun Hoarders" would be an interesting TV show

With some of my knives, I own multiple copies so I have a 'user' and some brand new and collectible. 

 

I don't have the funds to do so [yet] with firearms [nor do I have anything really collectible], but I do plan to add additional calibers and models/variations in the future.

 

yes...you have too many guns

THAT is saying something....

    • In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there. 
    • 27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.
    • I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!
