With a limited budget, I would go variety. I went with a Sig P228 (9mm) that was suitable for concealed carry and could also serve as a home defense gun. While not a target gun, it was also very accurate and fun to shoot at the range. I added a Browning Buckmark (.22 LR) for target practice and for cheap target practice. After that, I moved to a Glock 26 for concealed carry as the Sig 228 was too big to carry based on what I normally wear.

I do have some redundancy now, but it was based on seeing a deal I could not refuse. Guns are so reliable these days that you will likely go broke on ammo before you can wear one out. If you are going to go redundant, do it for guns that are collectible and only shoot one of them. I have 4 variations of Sig P210s and have shot 2 of them. Prices are going through the roof on them (except for the latest re-release that is made in the US).
