Why this so addicting??

Sounds like you're just being an American to me. Keep it up!

I started last year by buying a Christmas present to myself with a Sig. Then like every gun owner, one should own a 10/22. But that wasn't "enough" rifle for me so I built an AR that took 2-3 months (at the worst time, but I only bought when the price was right). I felt my arsenal was a little lopsided (not really since I didn't have many) so I rounded it off with a shotgun...and within the last 2 months, I got 4 additional handguns in jail or en-route.

My excuse is that SSEs maybe going by the wayside (I haven't kept up with the legislation, I know, bad me) so I'm buying the off-roster handguns now and ask questions later!

Stop buying, you have enough. Now start to learn reloading and how to buy bulk reloading supplies on sale. Join the NRA and Cal guns foundation so you may keep the guns you own.

You sir have spoken words of treason!

OP,
it does not stop. its been 13 months since i got interested and so far i have bought:

1) mossberg 500 12G SPX
2) Sig Sauer 556 patrol Swat
3) Sig Sauer sp2022 9MM
4) Ruger GP100 357 4" blued
5)Ruger 10/22 Take Down
6) Remington 700 sps ss 24" 30-06
7) Ruger American Rimfire standard 22LR (just got this yesterday )

2 years ago I owned 1 pistol that I bought on a whim after going to the range with a friend and had no real interest in guns.... now I m constantly on calguns. Have more rifles and pistols than I ever thought I would be interested in. The uncertainty of CA laws have only poured gallons of gasoline on my "gun-hobby/addiction"..and I have no money left because I ve spent almost all of it on guns and ammo the last few months... lol

How's that DDM4 treating you? I'm about to place my order today.

it's very nice glad i made it my first AR, good luck with yours

less type, more buy

As crazy as it sounds, the only therapy to the gun addiction is to overdose...

^^ Love it!


Nice start to the collection, especially the S&W 629. That ranks wayy high on my want list!

Thank you Obama, Biden, Feinstein, Yee, Steinberg...

Yep. A big shout out to all the stupid gun grabbing politicians. Up until December 2012 I had an old CO2 BB Pistol in my bathroom drawer. Now, I Have built four AR-15 pattern rifles (three went to my sons as gifts), bought an M&P 9mm, Marlin 60 (then converted to FN2000 body for my daughter), Marlin 795, my wife bought a Browning 1911-22. To top it all off I finally got my dad to give me his fathers 1919 L.C. Smith 12 guage (just so I can do Joe Biden proud).

A debt of gratitude goes out to them, my family is now armed and we love to shoot together.

I got a friend into guns about 2 months ago, and now he has more guns than I do, and I have been a gun owner for 18 years. Needless to say, he also makes a lot more money than I do. lol

[jpx0123]

hahaha.. i started about 7 months ago and i am now at the "i am running out of money" stage. it slows down around then. but you don't stop looking, you just stop buying..

Get a good hangun, rifle, and shotgun, then focus your addictive center on hoarding ammo for the firearms that you have. It's no less expensive but it's better than collecting more guns that you cannot use.

I've got a bunch, and most I can pretend to justify by saying "Well, I bought that to shoot at matches" but then I rarely even go to matches. My problem is that I'll obsess over a gun until I buy one, so for my mental health, it's better for me to buy it rather than keep wasting time thinking about it.

I'm mostly "done". Though I could use a G17 or M&P 9.


And as a warning, if you ever start going to matches, you'll start accumulating again. Shoot skeet? Well, heck no you need an O/U 12 guage. Shoot USPSA/IPSC? Well you'll need one gun for every division. Watched a cowboy movie and want to shoot CAS? That's another 4 guns. Shoot silhoutte? Gotta get that rifle I saw that other guy use! Watched "Hell on Wheels?" dang, buy a black powder gun. Watched Dirty Harry? S&W Model 29 is on the list ....... etc, etc, etc, etc ...

wait until you start on range bags

[Artema]

wait until you start on range bags

Pelican 1400 for the handguns, $20 LAPG range bag for the ammo and mags, stapler, etc. Works great for me.

[SoCalEnthusiast]

I wish I could afford more but it's a very expensive hobby. In a good way.

How much do you guys make in general to buy one fire arm a month? Well over 100K I'm assuming? Or just have alot of savings.

I think my next purchase will be a nice revolver! .357?
