do you own multiple (same) guns? why?

[RogueSniper]

I have a bunch of Pythons. Anacondas, and other duplicate Colts. I also have a bunch of duplicate rifles, 1911's and such. That way when I sell one I still have it. So to speak.

What he said, plus, one to shoot and one to keep. When I bought dupes, they weren't necessarily your everyday piece. A couple are unique and some are addictions.

Hmmm, I'm still eyeballing your collection Ivanimal.

Collecting

I own multiple copies of several guns because of collecting activities. I always try to specialize when I am collecting, so I might have several of the same thing. Here are a couple of examples:

Glocks and black rifles only for me...why? Because I can get new Glocks for $398.20 and my guns never failed me.

I have a matched pair of SigP226s: One for the left side holster and one for the right so as not to be out of balance when I walk.

Actually it was simply the result of finding the second one at a price that was too good to pass up.

I don't have multiple weapons but I may in the future. My reasoning is that it will be used mostly by my girlfriend & I'll already have a ton of spare parts & accessories for it e.g. holsters, magazines, etc.

I have two of everything. In case of divorce and she takes half of everything.

I have a hard time passing up a good deal...just cause I already have it doesn't mean I won't pick up another if the price is right! (this ends with me having WAY too many ruger semi-autos)

Some people are not really interested in collecting a wide range of different guns and limit themselves to what they actually use. Train with one type, and have back ups. Familiarity, commonality, and what not.

I bet a lot of people own a Glock, or two, and either a few ARs or AKs.

Do 1911's even count? Sure they're all 1911's but they are almost all different.
BillCA's Smith's might be the exception. His are identical. I have lots of 1911's, but no two are exactly alike. Again, they're all 1911's, but none are the same.

Let's see what I can think of ...

2 west German 226's in 9mm, because they are great
3 glock 17s
4 CZ 75's (only 2 of them are exactly the same though, the SP-01s)
2 686s
5 1911s (only 2 are exactly the same)
2 HK P2000 V3

I have 3 1911s, 2 springfields and 1 colt 1991.

I'd like to emulate...... Bruce Willis in.... The Last Man Standing!!!

[liketoshoot]

I have 2 P6's, bought the first one and liked it then got the other for less and in better condition.

Because I want to!
