How many guns this year?

Glockstar .40 · February 5, 2016, 01:10 PM

Hey y'all! how many guns do you plan on buying this year? I made a deal with the wife i'd only buy 4

..Just picked up a Glock 20 (10mm) yesterday. I'd like to pick up a century arms C39 v2 at some point. I'm not sure what else. So how about you? Bought any this year yet? Any ideas on your next purchase?

Targa · February 5, 2016, 02:05 PM

Since Jan 1st just one. I picked up 3 last year so I am going to limit myself to the one this year....that is my intention anyway.

Kreyzhorse · February 5, 2016, 02:20 PM

1. I only plan on buying a single gun, if I can find the right one. If I can't find the right one, I dont have any other guns planned.

If course... very few of my guns are planned.

AL45 · February 6, 2016, 01:44 AM

I probably won't buy any because I can't get my wife to stop buying them. In the last 6 months she has bought a Sig 238 .380 Auto, a Ruger Single 10 .22 LR and today she bought a Sig 1911 C3 .45 ACP with crimson trace laser grips. And she is already talking about her next purchase. I've been reduced to her personal reloader.

FrankenMauser · February 6, 2016, 01:48 AM

One.

I don't know what it will be, yet.
But I only plan on buying one.

That doesn't necessarily include guns that I build from parts, though...

Under the "build" category, an aluminum "80%" 1911 frame is the current favorite.

geetarman · February 6, 2016, 02:02 AM

I just got a Sig Legion P229 9mm. I bought a bunch last year and probably won't repeat this year. Last year was a PPK,P227,P938,P320C,Nightmare 1911,Spartan 1911 and another Bushmaster AR. I really like 1911s in 9mm. I don't have a Sig or a Colt in that caliber. I would buy either or both if I could find them.

JimmyR · February 6, 2016, 02:30 AM

So far this year, I have bought 1 gun, and only because it was a stupid good price (Russian 380 Makarov for $75, rough condition, mechanically sound).

I would like to pick up a new single stack 9mm, but I'm picky, so I don't know what I would want. At this point, I'm thinking about a Kahr TP9

dakota.potts · February 6, 2016, 03:30 AM

When I turn 21 later this year, I'll probably buy a compact CZ 9mm to compliment my full size.

I had to buy one for my classes as a .30-06 is our final project in school. Not sure if that counts.

Beyond that, I don't plan on buying any unless I get an idea for a gunsmithing project. I'd like to complete at least another build or two, but that will be from parts kits and hopefully from non-FFL receivers (we'll see how well that works out)

1stmar · February 6, 2016, 06:32 AM

3-5. I only have 1 shotgun so I am looking at getting 2 more. At minimum 1 rifle or 2 pistols if i can figure out what I want. One pistol w likely be cz75 the other may be a ruger redhawk in 45c/45acp but I also want a pistol with an integrated mount ie m&p core but have not found one I like that's worth the price. The kahf is about $1000 if you can find it.

Nathan · February 6, 2016, 06:56 AM

2....I think.

DW Specialist and dome type of cz75....probably the SA

turkeestalker · February 6, 2016, 07:21 AM

Not sure where I will wind up this year, but I've already picked up one rifle, one shotgun, and put $50 on a revolver yesterday, all of them used.

Last year was an excessive year, I purchased 14 long guns and three handguns, but four of those were gifts for my sons.

At this rate I may surpass last year, but if I do I think maybe I'd better get a little help. At least in the form of a couple band aids and some aspirin when the 'boss' gets done with me!

Eazyeach · February 6, 2016, 07:31 AM

I'm definitely going to get a nice bolt action .22. Maybe an AK, maybe another 1911. And any pre lock smiths that I come across for decent prices.

Tony Z · February 6, 2016, 07:45 AM

Can't say! One so far (CZ .22), a Ruger 10/22T this coming week (most of my shooting limited in time, so at my own indoor single lane range-.22 and light loads in .38, 9mm). I have bought three scopes in January, and why three? I want the experiment with what I like best on the CZ (mannlicher stock), first for traditional looks and optics second.

burrhead · February 6, 2016, 02:33 PM

Long story but, a friend of mine gave me a case of factory 9mm last week. I haven't owned a 9mm in 40 years but what are ya gonna do. Talked to my LGS a couple of days later and have a Shield coming. It isn't my fault but it's been thrust upon me. Other than that I don't plan on any more guns this year but I am going to finish my long range rifle project.

rickyrick · February 6, 2016, 03:00 PM

One carry pistol, and another upper for sure. Maybe a lower and another upper. Lol.
2014-2015 was my biggest period for amassing firearms and ammo. So who knows what 2016 brings.

Ozzieman · February 6, 2016, 03:28 PM

None this year or until I pay off my new truck

jasmith85 · February 6, 2016, 03:38 PM

I am going to do my best to keep it under 5 this year. I doubt that will happen though.

cliffhangernlv · February 6, 2016, 03:55 PM

I'm only buying one.
1. SW mod 27
1. Henry 45 colt
1. 1911 which 1 I haven't decided
1. 7mm-08 possibly a Savage
So just one for me

Kvon2 · February 6, 2016, 04:05 PM

I bought one last month, hoping to only buy two more but somewhere between 2-4 for the year.

Nlight1 · February 6, 2016, 07:49 PM

Hopefully just one. A colt delta elite or a new sig either being 10mm.

peggysue · February 6, 2016, 08:14 PM

Last year was 14. This year 2 so far. I have been doing the arms race on this form for 8 years... Fun

overthere · February 6, 2016, 10:07 PM

Fewer than I would like...

kozak6 · February 7, 2016, 02:52 AM

I already got one.

The traditional cheesy pawn shop staple- the 90's style Chinese SKS. Silly Choate Dragunov stock, CHEAP sling, missing bayonet, and clunky duckbill 30 rounder. The very first one I've seen under $600

. But for $279 out the door, I couldn't say no.

There's what I want to buy, and what I realistically might buy.

What I really want to buy is a quality AK, and a quality AR15. But my job sucks, and I wince every time I look at my paycheck.

That same pawnshop has some cheap pump shotguns simply labeled "Winchester 12 gauge". I'm terrified that one might be a Winchester Model 12 and that I will need to buy it for $200.

Another pawnshop has some $150-175 revolvers. High Standard and H&R. If the .22 situation weren't still stupid, I'd probably have purchased them by now.

That pawnshop also has a ton of old semiautomatic shotguns- Auto 5's, Remington 11's, 11-48's, etc. I can't read the tags, or else I might have gotten a couple by now.

Oh yeah, and I have a project Remington 870 that I will get back into action. It's a police surplus 70's Wingmaster with a magnum ejector, incandescent Surefire fore end, MMC ghost ring rear sight, and no barrel.

Well, then there is the XD Mod2....and I was thinking M&P compact....9mm 1911 or 40 s&w 2011....,and then there is the 458 Lott

Nah! I would be thrilled to finish my SA 1911 custom and 10/22 project.

Wishoot · February 7, 2016, 06:49 AM

Depending on my sales this year, one. Maybe two.

Really would like to get a 44mag revolver as a companion to my 44mag lever.

Would also like to get a 357 lever as a companion to my revolvers.

If I spot a good deal on a .327 revolver, I'd jump on that too.
