One can never have too many guns, in my opinion. However, one must balance needs versus wants. I'm not at that point yet, so I'm just compiling a list of firearms that I want. I need to put them in order and I'd like a little help in determining brands if anyone has any advice. Used is probably what I'd look at to save some dough.
The .22 pistol - I'm thinking about getting a nice .22 with a red-dot sight for accuracy shooting. With the ,257 Magnum, 10mm, or the 7.62x54r, all I care about is hitting the target (where isn't as critical). But I want to plink with pinpoint accuracy and there's no better way than a good .22 to do that.
The Shotgun - Need one for home defense. Period. I can shoot 12 gauge just fine, but the Mrs. might need something a bit less boomy. I'd like pump action for the sound. Couldn't care less what it looks like as long as when I pull the trigger it shoots fairly straight.
The Pocket Pistol - Maybe something like a Beretta Tomcat. Something I can just shove in my pocket if I'm wearing something that doesn't allow for concealing the Glock 29. Nothing smaller than a 32 auto though.
The 9mm - I want a nice 9mm for two reasons. One - easy to handle for newer shooters. Two - cheaper ammo that I won't have to worry about collecting the brass for. I'd prefer a non-Glock simply because I already have a Glock.
and finally
The AR-15 - Because I admit it, they're fun to shoot. And Sarah Brady doesn't want me to have one.
We just bought new couches this weekend so the Mrs. is planning a yard sale to get rid of everything that no longer matches. I'm going to dig deep and try to get rid of everything I can to scrounge up some extra cash.
