Of course many will say UNLIMITED and that's a good answer!

 

But do any of you reach a number of handguns/long guns where

you start to find too much redundancy?

 

Is there a point where you start putting them up for sale?

Just "one" more!

Limit.....haha.

 

I think Id start thinking about selling some off or not buying when I start leaving guns around in the safe. I'm not the type to have safe queens and want to get good use out of my collection.

No man. I start to rethink things all the time. Like my 870. I set it up for pistol grip now I want to change it back to its old form. So I am selling the 870 accessories cheap like the Mossberg brand Remy 870 18.5 inch barrel and Speedfeed stock.

When is sex too much?

As long as there is room in a safe, or room for another safe, can never have too much.

Should I even bother to comment in this thread

No. You already have a counter thread labeled "NJGF arms race 2012"

I figured as much

When my wife says if "you buy another gun I'll divorce you." But don't tell her I said that.

One is too many and a hundred aren't enough

one handgun each for my wife and I... one mid range carbine for each of us... one shotgun.. and one long range rifle...

all built around the shooter... using the best parts I can budget.. with backup parts to repair..

 

 

that is my limit..

Tastes & preferences change as you fire, handle & research about them.

People have their favorite caliber & collect along that line.

When my wife says if "you buy another gun I'll divorce you." But don't tell her I said that.

 

they all look the same to the wife !!! And it works for them also, Have you looked at her shoe or pocketbook collection.

I'll stop when there's none left I want to buy...

Until there is no more room to safely store them. Then its time to shop for bigger storage capabilities, rinse repeat.

I've seen some transferable mp5's in pa for approx 7k. I'd probably buy it. Thats a lot of cash for one gun.

 

I say too much is when I never shoot some of them.

If I do not fond it, its time to go.

When I have more of them than she has shoes...

Bravo Sir!

I thought it was when the safe was full but I just go out and buy another safe and problem solved.

As of right now, my goal is the full line of XD's in .40

 

A carbine in 40 as well..

 

My HD shotgun is constantly evolving..

 

A 22 pistol for teaching...

 

Also in the near future is a rifle, possibly .308 most likely a bolt action and then a Semi-auto both set up to shoot (somewhat) long distance..

 

Once I get those, then I'll get the "whatever" stuff.

One of each CALIBER then I will have enough!

PM me where you saw mp5s for 7k plz.

I thought this thread would be about personal spending limit, like what is the max you would pay for a gun. That would of made more sense cause. there is no such thing as too much of a good thing.

My very large safe is pretty much full, so that's my limiting factor. A second safe would solve the problem, but for my lifestyle a second safe seems like it might be over the edge.

When I bought my first handgun almost five years ago, I honestly thought there was no way I'd want or need another. 10 handguns, 5 rifles and a shotgun later, I think I actually might be done.

 

For now....

My thought behind it was to have 2x of each. 2x pistols, 2x rifles, 2x shotguns but something always comes up. I'm good with the HD shotgun and Trap/hunting shotgun. Rifles, I have a .223 AR and a .22 AR but now I want another AR so that would make 3x rifles. I have a .40cal pistol and a .22 pistol but now I want a compact 9mm or .40 cal for concealed carry so that's 3x pistols. I'm sure at some point I'll have an itch for a sniperrifle (Remington 700 or the like) so I'm not sure when it will end.

For me, it's more of a money thing.

 

Let's say I want a brand new SCAR-17, but I don't have the money for it, and I'm not willing to wait a year to save up for it... so I'll open my safe, look at what guns are still clean from my once a year cleaning, and decide "what do I never shoot", then go from there. I mean, honestly, I don't need that many guns. Most are just there because they were 'fun' ideas at the time which I never ended up shooting or using.

 

Also... another metric I use is: if I had to grab a gun to go fight zombies right now, which one has enough gear to support it. Sadly, despite the number of guns I own, I only have one magazine rig for one AR-15... I don't even have a holster for my full-size pistols! Just a CCW one for my G19!

 

Lastly, the old addage remains true: I don't fear the man with 30 guns, I fear the man with one for he knows how to use it.
