Yo,
Great site, highlights great aspects of choosing guns, saving on guns, maintaining them, and how to choose used..
Here's one excerpt from the article. It also goes into rifles, shotguns, etc...
Building a battery
A "battery" of firearms is a selection of guns that will cover multiple needs. The collector has "a collection," but the person who uses guns as tools has a working "battery," like a carpenter having multiple saws for different cutting purposes, and different screwdrivers for dealing with different sizes of screws.
Steve Sager is a Master competitive shooter who has learned to appreciate the inexpensive Mossberg Plinker .22 rifle as a 'best buy.' Here, he checks out a used specimen at Daddy's Gun Shop in Mayo, Florida.

At an absolute minimum, I would suggest four guns for the backwoods home. These would be a .22, a shotgun, a defensive-type handgun, and a high-powered rifle.
Just for the sake of argument, let's assume some frugality at work. I know trapshooters whose custom shotguns cost more than my SUV did new off the showroom floor, and gun collectors who might buy a single rare firearm that's worth more than my home and the real estate it sits on. Common sense economy is one of the values this publication celebrates, after all.
