    Which one to keep?

    Medical bills have depleted savings and forced me to sell most of my firearms, sold AR pistol, AR10, Remington 783, CZ 75b, G17, G19, G34, and two G26.
    I have left a G27 with 9mm barrel, CZ PCR, Ruger Alaskan .44mag, and Ruger Precision Rifle. I was hoping to be able to keep those final four but I will need to sell one. I am definitely keeping the G27 and Ruger Rifle, I'm debating between selling the CZ PCR and the Ruger Alaskan.
    I barely picked up the CZ PCR new two months ago after a 3 month wait list. I had bought carbon fiber CZ custom style grips for it before I even picked up the gun, I have not gotten a chance to shoot it yet even.
    I picked up the Ruger Alaskan from a member here off the Calguns marketplace also two months ago, he wanted to buy my AR10 and gave me the Alaskan along with cash.

    The CZ PCR is a beautiful gun that fits my hand like a glove, I have stocked thousands of rounds of 9mm so I believe I should keep that just based on ammo. But I've gotten to shoot the Ruger Alaskan and it is the most fun to shoot, it puts a huge smile on my face and for whatever reason I'm more accurate with it than I was with any of my Glocks. Even my G34 with nearly $300 in trigger upgrades didn't feel as good as the Ruger trigger, I now see why people praise revolver triggers. It is the first and only wheelgun I own and I now have a love for wheel guns. I don't foresee in the near future replacing them or building my collection again. Which you keep in my shoes? Thanks.

        I think you answered it yourself: The Alaskan puts a smile on your face/is the most fun for you to shoot. I would imagine that having to sell everything is a bit of a downer, and when things get stressful having the gun that is the most fun and makes you smile would be better than any of the others. I'd keep that and either of the 9mm just because you have a ton of ammo.

            The question should be whats the easiest one to replace down the road.

              Keep your pistols if you can. But if you have to sell, keep the CZ. The wheel gun doesn’t seem at all practical.

                Keep the Ruger.

                If you were up here, I'd buy your firearms from you and sell them back for the same price once you got funds back into your pocket.

                Medical bills suck.

                  Sorry to hear about your medical bills.

                  I think the deciding factor is that you have a 9mm barrel for your Glock. From what I've read, 9mm works well in 40 S&W Glocks with a conversion barrel and an extractor swap.

                  In my view, a 44 mag would fill a big-bore sidearm niche that the PCR can't. So keeping the 44 mag rounds out your collection a bit better.

                    This. You have the G27 with the 9mm conversion barrel.

                      Ruger will be to expensive to shoot. Keep the CZ.

                        44 magnum is nearly 4x as expensive as 9mm. if money is really that tight, I'd definitely sell the ruger first...

                          Thanks for the replies, the vote is split 7/7 as well as in my mind 50/50 still. As mentioned above, it's logical for me to keep the CZ since I already have 9mm ammo stocked from past years, the Ruger I have no ammo for and the one box I bought to shoot was 3x the cost of 9mm, that probably means I won't get to shoot it much. But I have yet to shoot the CZ because of the trigger, I see why people say send it to Cajun, everything else is spot on perfect on the CZ. The Ruger on the other hand, wow what a amazing trigger, the Ruger definitely piqued my interest in to revolvers. I've heard people say S&W revolvers have better triggers than Ruger, and if I think the Ruger trigger is amazing I can't wait to try out S&W revolvers.
                          My insurance deductible with Kaiser is terrible, for example each MRI is $600.
                          My wife came shooting for the first time and I had the G27 and Ruger, I showed her YouTube videos of girls shooting 44 Magnum rounds with the gun flying back at their heads. My wife was scared but anxious to try, surprisingly for her first ever shot she did alright. Infact when I stepped away she was loading the ammo herself excited to shoot.

                            Can’t answer your gun question but sending a prayer that things get better with health and finances.

                              Also, my wife surprisingly told me to stop selling guns and we'll cut back elsewhere, but the only other area I can see to cut back is on the kids and I'd rather they enjoy their childhood than keep guns for myself that I can replace once all is well again.
