How many of us own more than one handgun of the same make and model?

[Dannix]

I feel a bit crazy for even considering picking up another example of a handgun type I already own when I could introduce myself to something new instead, but I've found a particular model and type "clicks" with me, and so I'd like to pick up another one to dedicate to boolit shooting with a bespoke barrel.

So how many of us own more than one handgun of the same make and model?

I'm beginning to understand the mantra of being a one-handgun man, but I'm not sure if that mantra entails literally only one handgun or if it's not uncommon to have multiple examples of that one handgun type.

The way I solve the problem , for the one gun type of thinking is you have to have a( pair and a spare) just to make sure all base`s are covered. Just for the record I have as many as 4 of the same type of handgun`s.

Doesn't everybody?

Puts me in mind of the old Cooper dictum, "One to use, one in reserve, and one in the shop."

[pmeisel]

I have a 6" 357 for deer hunting and a 4" 357 for general purposes.... and several varieties of .22

Blackhawks.........can't get enough.

[high standard 40]

T/C Contenders
DW Revolvers

The same question could be asked of duplicate rifles.

[TheCelt]

[krit29-2]

I seem to have the problem with the S&W 29/629's

always looking for more and my .44 special addiction is even worse..

[ACrowe25]

I own a kimber ultra raptor II and a ultra carry II. Same thing kinda, ones just from the "custom" shop.

Puts me in mind of the old Cooper dictum, "One to use, one in reserve, and one in the shop."

That describes FORD cars (not trucks)!

FORD........Fix Or Repair Daily.

A recent auto industry study found 90% of all Ford cars built since 2000 are still on the road. The other 10% made it home.

Never mind me.......just babbling, lots of baaaaad experiences with their cars.

The single most important situation where one ought own two identical firearms is your primary carry pistol. The logic being that if one is involved in an incident and "borrowed" for evidence that you have an identical firearm which you are intimately familiar with as your back up. I have a pair of Colt Defenders for exactly that purpose, one has a Robar Super Deluxe customization on it, and the second was done by the Colt Custom Shop.

[nagantguy]

1911s and blackhawks and of course nagants, 9 and counting.

[John Allen]

Same here. I have a 4 629's in different barrel lengths. I can not get enough of them.

[shorty500M]

have severe duplication syndrome with S&W N-frames, FA M83, Contender frames&barrels and Ruger SA's!! it even flows over into my BFRs.

[wallenba]

A pair of sequentially serial numbered Ruger New model Vaquero's. Intention was to get more involved with S.A.S.S.. Other considerations are keeping me from that. Love them tho...

[prs]

I dinna know there was any other way? One for my right hand and one for my left.

At least it doesn't require another set of dies and moulds.
