Multi-caliber support -- stretching thin?

I think I overdid my collection.

I never wanted a .44 but the Desert Eagle was a good deal. So was the .32 Tomcat. Now before you know it I have to feed several calibers. It's not like I can buy 1000 rounds and have it fit in all guns. Was that a good step or bad?

Part of me is tempted to sell all my handguns except for my .45 calibers. Then stick with just that one caliber. Same with shotguns. Sell the .410, stick with 12ga.

Now if there is a specific purpose for the round I understand keeping it. My .22LR for plinking and rodents so that caliber stays. In some cases I need a gun of a specific size, and there are very few caliber options available. And of course collectibles I have no plan to fire, well no worries there as I do not need to feed them.

Does anyone feel that there is a point where calibers in your collection are overdone, or do you believe the more the merrier?

If your not willing to stock a few thousand rounds, don't keep the firearm. Thats my motto.

If there is, I haven't reached it. I started and tried to stay with 9mm for hd purposes and cheap practice. Few months later I got an AR in 5.56/.223 cause I want to be able to reach out and touch someone. Few months after that I got a .380 acp hand gun just because I wanted a small ccw type of gun and really enjoyed shooting the .380 cartridge. Now I just got a .22lr handgun for cheap practice and to introduce shooting to my son when he gets old enough. And I've already have plans to get a .357 mag revolver next just because revolvers are also just fun to shoot but also wanted something that could double as a hiking gun. I think having different choices of calibers, and guns for that matter, is just plain fun.

My tool box has more than one size wrench!
