    Do you own a pistol and centerfire rifle?

    When I first got into firearms, I was obsessed with 1911's and would spend most of my time in the pistol forums on here and THR. I eventually got turned on to rifles. At that point I had two pistols and a shotgun... and was close to making another 1911 purchase! Since, I've picked up a few rifles of different variety and I haven't looked back.. or looked any pistol forum since!

    Just wanted to put this poll up to see if anyone is stuck on pistols w/o owning any rifles.

    I own some of everything. Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, Black Powder. The collection needs to be diverse. It's almost time for a new safe though.

      You forgot the "Yes I own many of both" selection.'

        I too started with pistols. It was only a matter of time before I got infected with the Black Rifle Disease. There is no know cure, it can only be treated with lots of ammo and range time.

              I've owned way more rifles than handguns, and that was because of the price and that I enjoy shooting rifles more.

              Now I have two handguns and no rifles. I've been wanting to build a carbine (AR-15) but that damn Mosin keeps calling me.

                You have to at least own one of everything. Including black power stuff.

                  I own a .357, .44 mag, 45 colt pistols. So, it only made sense that I get lever rifles in the same calibers! hahahahahaha

                    I started with rifles. It was very easy for me, so I got into handguns. It was a good challenge for me to switch. I love shooting all though!

                      Yes.....For my first two firearms I started with a Sigma, then went with an AK.

                        The opposite was true for me. I loved rifles much more then handguns, but now I am much more into handguns and IPSC.

                            I started out at 20 getting really into rifle shooting. When I turned 21 and bought my P226, I started to really enjoy the unique challenge of pistol shooting, so I started saving up and buying more.

                            Next I have to get into shotgun shooting...

                              I'm really more of a hand gun guy and have a modest little collection of them. Also the only long gun I have at the moment is chambered in a hand gun round.

                              Then again, I think my next purchase will most likely be an AR, but I might get it in a 9mm. LOL
