3K spent on just my gun hobby alone in 3 weeks

[PandaLuv]

2 brand new guns
Two CMC (pos) mags
Ammo
TLR1
Snap caps
Hoppe's bore snake
Hoppe's solvent
A-zoom .45 snap caps
Liberty Safe
I am broke lol
That's it! No more guns for me! Only ammo and some holsters. And only Ruger 22 45 if I see used for sale.

Can you feel my pain? I've never done that before.

I mean, I am not completely broke, but I'm definitely not rich.

What part of HOBBY did you not understand?

What part of HOBBY did you not understand?

It's getting to my head, it feels more like an addiction/life style.

Jesus Christ, I bought 6 guns in less than 12 months lol. TBH, there is nothing less that I need. I got myself a 9mm, .40sw, .45acp and a trusty AK47 built with nico.

At least I am not all crazy into cars, I'd definetly hurt.

I can almost feel your pain. The past three weeks or so i purchased

AMSEC Safe
Colt 1911
Turret reloading press
45 ACP dies, powder, and bullets to feed my 1911. I did get some free brass though lol

Im getting ready to get an M1 Garand from the CMP. Im broke haha

You know I had that same realization late last year until I sold off some stuff I didn't like and got almost all of my money back. I look at it like this, you can buy guns, shoot them and enjoy them, then if something comes up you can always sell them and not take a huge loss. I used to buy all the new electronics gadgets and then when it came time to sell to buy something new I would take a 60% loss.......ouch. So it's kinda like you have 3k set aside that you might have wasted on something else.

Hi, my name's Panda, and I am an addict...

I can definitely relate. I don't have a problem though, I can stop anytime I want.

Im lucky enough that with my profession any firearm/gear/ammo I purchase is a tax write off. I have at least 3-4k in write offs for 2011, should get a good chunk of change back, which Ill probably use to buy a new safe and another gun or two.

[Peter W Bush]

OP if it makes you feel better I don't even remember how many guns I bought in 2011- I really can't.

[TMC]

Nice start. I've heard of people who have nearly 100 guns in 2 safes and some in boxes in the rafters, eight 5 gallon buckets of brass, 50K primers, 40 pounds of powder, 2 Dillon loading machines, mags, holsters, bags and accessories for nearly everything. At that point you'll truly be getting serious about your Hobby. A good sign is when you start buying brass and dies in calibers that you don't have guns for yet.

Very true, I did sell two guns and I got 80% for what I paid for, but still... I bought guns almost twice as expensive than the ones I sold lol. But no regrets.


And yes, I'm glad that I purchased a safe because safe is definitely worth saving guns and ammo from getting them stolen.
