    I think I need a revolver, A pump shotgun and a bolt action rifle.

    Then I can say im done.
    Yes..you have a good start....as time goes by you can add a pump shotgun, bolt action .308, perhaps a SW stainless .357....then a pocket 9MM, a few more .22 pistols and rifles, then make a move to Lever Guns...hahah..a .357 Marlin lever gun is way too much fun......soon you will have 30 weapons and IT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH....ARRRRGGGGG!!!!!!!!

    Have fun and be safe.

    Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

      Good way to start your collection. I try to buy one new firearm every month. At Christmas I get two guns, one I purchase and one from the wife. Your collection will out grow most safes in two years. Get a good one bolted to the slab, no exceptions. Guns are a huge investment. Happy Shooting.
      GOOD ADVICE..^^^ especially about bolting a good safe to a slab.....

      Read this website for the Cal Gunner that lost 14 weapons in a simple house burglary a couple of weeks ago...!...

      My advice is to buy a nice safe instead of one handgun. Get the largest safe you can afford; lag it down properly and disguise it with a cover and lamp on top. Imagine losing a hard-earned gun collection to some Meth Heads who break in while you're at work (paying for their welfare and food stamp programs) ....

      Be well, Bob

        PsychGuy, I like the upper. I figured i'd go cheap with the AR-15 because I've never even shot one before and built a budget build.

        I've only put about 500 rounds through it but no problems at all.

        Quick story, When I was sighting it in for the first time I used a laser bore sighter that sticks in the muzzle.

        Just as I was making the adjustments. A cease fire was called and I went out to my truck to have a smoke. When I came back the cease was over. I inserted the mag, charged the handle and pulled the trigger...I forgot all about the bore sighter.

        I ended up creating a bulge at the end of my barrel. I called Del-ton and was completely honest with them. They had me send the upper in and I ended up with a brand new upper directly from Del-Ton about a week later.

        I hate sharing that story because I feel like an idiot but it has to be told to show how great Del-Ton's customer service is.
        Dude, everyone makes mistakes and that's a funny one. You're lucky nothing more than a bulging barrel happened. Sharing stories like that and making fun of yourself is a sign of good character IMO. Just make sure it doesn't happen again

          a firearms collection should never be finished
          it should take breaks,pauses, and time outs
          there is always something that can be added to the safe

            Killer Bee,

            I use the double-auto more than anything else. I got it at a gunshow, it was C&R so I had fun with it that same day. I use it as a trap gun but as far as I know it's more of an upland bird gun.

            It fits me well, The action is very simple and noob friendly and it's VERY light.

            My first time out I hit 23 out of 25 in a singles game of trap.
