Was 2013 A Good or Bad Year for Your Handgun Collection.

[olhorseman]

Good year, hope to end it with a couple more buys to make it a great year. Budget for 2014 looks good for making it another good year. 2014 will be the year of the shotgun. Looking to buy a couple good doubles.

Indifferent. I bought and sold some. Ended up with the ones I wanted and nothing that is easy to find. Of course, I only buy the more rare items unless I get a deal on something.

3 handgun moves this year:

1. Bought a Ruger 22/45 Lite
2. Sold that Ruger 22/45 Lite
3. Bought an SR22

I didn't like anything about the 22/45 Lite... but I love my SR22!

What did you not like about the 22/45 Lite if you don't mind me asking? I was thinking of picking one up for plinking

[IndyLongColt]

Pretty good. I went from 1 pistol (9mm compact) to 3. I picked up a "3*3" Taurus Judge, and another Taurus ,the PT1911.

 

[littletommy]

I only got one new gun this year, a Ruger super blackhawk Bisley hunter. I may be picking up an SR45 before the end of the year, though, I hope.

 

[SkullDaddy.45]

Bought 4 Colts 1911's ( cause JetGirl made me) a Sig 2022, a Ruger LC9 and a Beretta Px4 .45!

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Good year for me. I picked up some handguns, and ended by buying my first Glock last week (Glock 19).

 

[dwain]

It was a good year for me. I got a Glock 19. My first Glock. We are getting concealed carry in 2014.

 

[3floydsfan]

It was a good year for me. I added an XDs 9 and CZ 75 compact to my small, but growing, collection.

 

[Hopper]

I'm going to say it was a good year. I came full-circle on Glock. My first pistol a few years ago was a G4 G17 that I hated, and I also had a G3 G26 that I disliked almost as much. Enter 2013, a couple years had gone by to learn better techniques, and I shot my younger brother's G4 G23 (which I couldn't believe he bought, and I *knew* I would HATE). The skies parted, the angels sang, and now I have one that I've shot the daylights out of, and it practically begs me to drive it harder.

All in all, it was a year of letting go of things that felt great at the gun shop but not so much at the range, and replacing with things that do. So yeah, from an experience and fine-tuning point, 2013 was good!

 

[MCgrease08]

Good year for me too. I added 2 new handguns. The first was a very well used Colt Detective Special that has a ton of character. I upgraded my EDC from a Bersa Thunder 9 UC, to the Glock 19. I got a great deal from a fellow INGOer on a new USA made model. Of course that meant picking up a new holster too, Raven Concealment Systems, which I give a big .

I also managed to track down enough ammo over the course of the year to get much more comfortable and proficient with handguns in general.

Not to mention I picked up a 1937 Mosin Nagant and a new Ruger 10/22 but haven't shot either of them yet . Too add the cherry on top, I've managed to score more than 2k rounds of .22lr, a stripped lower, and 150 rds of Federal 9mm HST LE JHPs all in the last 3 months.

Needless to say, it's been a great 2013 for the Greaseman, and with a nice raise coming next year, 2014 should be good as well.

 

[Gman75]

Bought a new Smith & Wesson shield 9mm
Bought a used Ruger sr1911
Bought a used Ruger sr1911 cmd
Sold Smith & Wesson shield 9mm
Bought a new IWI Tavor
Bought a used Smith & Wesson 442
Bought a used Ruger sp101 357

I don't think I can top this in 2014.

 

[DIRTROAD]

Very good year a little out of control so my wife says , where do I start , EMP 9mm, SIG P226 mk,SIG P 227 , REM 1911 , RUGER 22/45, SPRINGFIELD 9MM 1911 sold that one and stared reloading Good year!!

 

[danmdevries]

I only bought one gun this past year, a used Colt 1911 Series 70.

Other than that, I've fully depleted my .22 supply.

I've shot out everything I owned in 9mm

I no longer own any surplus .40

.45acp may as well be currency after the past couple years. But, it's one of the cartridges I reload along with .38/.357.

Still, I can't keep up, reloading saves you $0 exactly.

 

[derrickgoins]

Net / Net, I'm down 4 guns vs the start of 2013 but it was on purpose. Picked up a Sig P228 that I've wanted for a long time and traded in to an XDS. Also got a chance to train more (vs buying guns) this year which was great.

 

[Gunaria]

I learned that Blocks still suck! Who wants a G19, seriously.

 

[hopper68]

Turned 45 and bought a 4th gen Glock 30 then had a friend call me 3 months later with a deal on a buddies Sig P245. Also bought 1 more new gun and 1 used gun.
