I know many of us love guns, and some of you may have quite a collection, but you really have to stand back and appreciate what you do have in your collection. I decided to take out all my guns and lay them out on my pool table (It doesn't get used much), and I must say I have quite an arsenal. I never really gave it much thought to appreciate what I've worked so hard to obtain, as I've been looking at my next firearm purchase. All the guns I have chosen will last a very long time if taken care of properly. I've gone through many more guns than I have, through trading, and selling, but the guns I have right now I don't plan on getting rid of anytime soon. So I guess you could say I've built and re-built my gun collection.
I especially love what I've done to my Remington 870...
The handguns are (from left to right) Glock 19, Springfield Armory 1911A1 Mil-Spec, and Ruger SP101 357 Magnum 2.25"
Very nice indeed and for sure - well worthy of appreciation. My own guns are very much for most part ''my babies'' ........ and are appreciated both functionally as well as with some - aesthetically too. My engineering background perhaps allows me an ''edge'' with regard to enjoying well engineered machinery!
I'd extend that even further too - such that we actually relish our appreciation for everything we have and enjoy. Family, kids, the roof over our heads and the food we eat - etc ... in fact all that allows us to achieve some of that ''pursuit of happiness''.
Very nice. I keep my guns clean and well maintained. I plan on handing em down to my kids one day, just like I own a few my dad bought and passed on to me.
I'm very thankful and pleased with the small collection of 4 hanguns and 1 rifle that I have. :smile:
They're not high-priced, expense tools (Bersa, Beretta, Colt, Marlin, & Springfield), but they get used and carried.
Kinda like cars: there's no shame in driving only what you can afford as long as you enjoy driving it. (I like seeing older (70's & '80's) cars tooling down the road that still look like they just came off the showroom floor - whether a Chevette or a much pricier model. That tells me that its' owner has taken great care and pride in keeping it in cherry condition.)
There are so many needy homeless out there, at least keep your options open.
Nice family there btw. :bier:
