Ummmmmmm........................... Let's look at this logically. If we accept the position that "one is none" that can be expressed as 1=0.
But we all know 2 is 1+1, or can be expressed as 2x1. So if 1 truly does =0 you now have double 0 (0+0 or 2x0)
So you still have nothing.

I had the first M9A3 since Dec. They had just come out. With Beretta moving, there haven't really been anymore out until recently.

My local store didn't know I had one already - but they remembered that I told them in Dec that I wanted one.

They called me Thur and told me that they had just gotten one in. I went and looked and could not resist.

Not only is it my fav Beretta, it is my fav handgun.

I actually just sold my Wilson Brig because I wanted another one of these.

This one is also made in TN...

I thought this thread would advocate carrying a backup. :disappointed:

2 is 1, 1 is none? Here's 2 of mine (which is actually 1). ;-)

The guns I don't have 2 of more of in the same caliber are: 35 Whelen, 300 win mag, 45-70, and 30-30, 460 rowland
Ones I do are: 22lr (x3), 22 mag (x2), 9mm (x4), 357 mag/38 special (x3), 44 mag (x3), 10mm (x2), 270 (x2), 223 (x3), 7.62x39 (x2), 12 gauge (x2)
Also I have 2 Glock 17s, 2 mini14s, and 2 Glock 20s, in case I want to look like tomb raider during the zombie apocalypse.

Very nice shipwreck, good pick up. I had to resist on a 686 yesterday. Really would have loved to take it home.

Here's how it works. One is not a 'team'. Two is a team, and creates one reasonable defense against assault and ambush against a real predator. Think 'No Country For Old Men'.

The firearms, which depend on components, magazine, firing pin, bullets, are, by themselves, not actually sufficient. If one of the components fails you have a brick. And, you frequently need a tool to fight your way to your best tool.

So the metaphor holds.

My Glock 19, 23, 38 and 43 have either an identical or fraternal twin.

Two is one, one is none in practice: carry the 19 appendix IWB with / and the 43 in pocket.

Till your in a gunfight or a competition and your gun fails. Easier to just switch firearms sometimes rather than clear a bad malfunction.
