When I first started collecting handguns, I chose to select my guns by caliber. I made a list of the calibers I wanted and selected a gun for each after a bit of research. I like the classics and went in that direction.

I'm into vintage cars, guitars, and guns. They are pretty much the same in that pristine examples command a premium. Due to supply and demand, lesser conditioned, projects, reblued, etc. become more appealing budget wise. Another benefit of them is, you can shoot them and not lose sleep when they show honest wear. There are plenty of good handguns with duty holster wear with low round counts out there.

So, collect for investment, to shoot, or a balance. The sky is the limit and your taste is unique. In the end make sure you have fun!

IMHO, all you need is a .22;.357 and 45acp
in any reputable make.
Be very careful this whole gun "thing" is very addicting.

Thanks for the replies. All guns will definitely be shot, and shot a bunch. I should have clarified that.

Some great info in your posts. Thanks again.
I think I am headed in the 1911 direction...
