How many different gun calibers do you have and use?

[david8613 69]

Years ago I had many different hand gun calibers from .380 all the way up to 44 mag. since then i have down sized my collection because it was getting too hard to keep track of so many multiple guns in multiple calibers. Here is the situation all my hand guns now are all in 9mm, and it feels like I'm missing something.  Plus I still have some ammo of all those calibers doing nothing in my safe. I miss my 10mm! Anyway I'd like to hear your thoughts on this subject.

[Vicious 138]

4 handgun calibers, 2 rifle calibers and 22LR across a few different guns.

I am not a fan of stocking different calibers, but I keep enough around for a few range trips for the more collectible pieces.

[raz-0 1,259]

If you count 12ga as a caliber, I have eight, use four. 

 

 

[Zeke 5,504]

Counting gauges 8

but I only have a good supply of 9 and 223 and 12. It’s what I most shoot. A few boxes for everything though 

[Old Glock guy 1,127]

I have tried to consolidate calibers, and not stock too many of them.  My first handgun was .40 caliber, but I never shoot it, so I only have a small quantity of ammo for it that I bought a long time ago.  I have stockpiled 9 mm, 5.56/.223, 7.62, .22LR, and 12 gauge.  Keeps it simple for me. 

[Vicious 138]

Oh yeah, add 12 gauge to my list... I do use all of them at one time or another. 12 gauge the least probably.

[Grapeshot 301]

.17 for fun

.22 across a few different handguns and rifles

9 mm and .38/.357 because of course

.30-30 for deer

12 gauge for clays

20 gauge when I’m feeling lucky

 

[Zeke 5,504]

@voyager9 has none. He never leaves his moms basement 

[silverado427 10,731]

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

5 calibers/1 gauge..

I try to minimize caliber sprawl.  I do have several calibers that I use in both handguns and carbines/rifles.

Use them all regularly.

[Scorpio64 5,156]

I have seven standard capacity caulk guns, one large capacity caulk gun, four paint spray guns, an old tube TV with a three color electron gun, two staple guns, three nail guns,  two screw guns, one pressure washer spray gun,  and a squirt gun.

No hot glue gun? Poser.

Doh, three of them, and also a grease gun.  I have so many guns, I've lost track.

[10X 3,301]

I’ll see your hot glue gun, and raise you a grease gun,  two caulk guns, and four staple guns 

[124gr9mm 859]

3 pistol, 3 rifle, 1 shotgun

Add .22lr because it's both pistol and rifle

[david8613 69]

Whaaaat???? No squirt guns???

But seriously I used to shoot alot of 40. But I had other calibers. Now all my hand guns are 9mm, but in long guns I have a couple of flavors 556, 12 gauge and 308. Been thinking about adding a 22 in this area.

 

[silverado427 10,731]

[diamondd817 827]

All of them.

[Zeke 5,504]

Nail guns caliber....  9

[njJoniGuy 2,131]

Not a single 9 here. Now, why would I want the caliber that lost two world wars? 

But I do have :

.45acp

.45LC (incl .410ga.derr)

.45-70 Govt.

.22LR

.177

5.56 mm

10 mm .40 S&W .380acp 7.62x54R .357 mag 12 ga.

I currently own handguns in 4 different caliber- 9 mm, 10 mm, 45 & 40. I have quite a lot of 9 mm ammo that I like to bring whenever I go to the range. The 9's include a Taurus PT 92, Sig P226 Glock 19 & a 226 Legion. All of them are really good guns. My favorite thing about the 9's is that the ammo is still relatively inexpensive, as I recently bought 4 boxes of 115 gr. FMJ at the A C Bass Pro Shop for $9.99/box. Next time I am in A C I may stock up on some more if they have it on sale again. 

[father-of-three 243]

Hmm.... that's nine calibers for me, and you can never have too much ammo, as the saying goes.

I even have some surplus nagant revolver ammo in cool little boxes with Russian print, but when the $99 nagant revolvers "disappeared," I gave up on them and entered the world of tokarev.

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

Have is one thing, use is quite another. Between handguns, rifles and shotguns I count 28. Use? Maybe 3 or 4, LOL.

Adios,

Pizza Bob

Holy crap... I forgot about all those "guns" I have in my possession.. I have a armory in my garage and shop, and I didn't even realize it.... damn, I better hope the ATF doesn't show up..  I'd have a hard time coming up with the COE for all of them.

I don't think BBs and pellets in .177 count!

9mm lost 2 wars......How many were won with BB guns? Sorry Brian but I couldn't help myself!

[njJoniGuy 2,131]

Good indoor pellet gun practice is much better than no practice at all.

What else are you going to shoot in your apartment, closely surrounded by other apartments?

Wars aren't won with handguns.  Or any small arms that includes rifles and machine guns.

Artillery has been the biggest killer on the battlefield since Napolean.

[njJoniGuy 2,131]

Understood. But I have enough problems claiming a parking space at my apartment. Where the fook am I going to park the howitzer??
