Did you ever think you were done buying guns and then........."Oh, hell".

Yup, just happened to me. Thought I was all set, no need for anything else, and then along comes a youtube video about a Ruger bearcat converted to a 5-shot .327mag. Now I just have to have one in .32H&R. Dang! Got me again. :rolleyes:
 
As far as hunting guns. I have everything I need to hunt any game in North America. My problem, and it's not really a problem in my mind is the deals I stumble across. Sometimes I find a gun that I really don't need, but the price is just to good to pass up. I resell them for a nice profit and add the dollars to the gun buying purse for next time. So I don't see the buying stopping anytime soon. It is just the number of guns I decide to keep has slowed down.

That is a continuing problem for me. I now need another safe because my taste has moved to rim fire rifles and I have no more room for long guns. Guess I won't be done until I'm looking up at the wrong side of the grass....
 
When the safe got full.....

Then my brother got a massive safe and a few are on semi permanent loan to him to free up space.
 
Yeah, I thought I had enough handguns. Then I bought another AR and another shotgun, neither of which have I fired yet.
 
I doubt if I'll ever permanently be done buying guns, but I do tell myself that's it for this year. Typically that doesn't last, and my wife almost always encourages me to buy more. I think she secretly likes guns more than I do.:rolleyes:
 
I thought I was done too, then I saw a picture of a Colt MK IV Ultimate Officers 3 1/2" .45acp; and away we go. Still looking for one.
 
I think you're kidding yourself, 9ballbilly; we'll be done when we get to the BIG done. Until then, just enjoy.

I haven't seen that particular youtube, but have heard about a Ruger Shopkeeper conversion and had to go buy me one.

I don't think I'm done, though ;).
 
Done.....are you kidding. Never done. There's always something new, or old, or different, or whatever that needs to be added to the collection.

I got lucky on this one and saw it a LGS a few years ago. The original grips were gone so I got some replacement grips from Esmeralda:



 
Agree, a true addict is never healed just in recovery. Every now and then the temptation is just too great. Then we must start the recovery process all over again. I solved most of my pain by increasing the number of safe's in the basement. Also, found that rotating the stock every few years helps with the recovery therapy.
 
When I die, no plans to stop before.

This.
I bought an M&P shield 9mm (love it BTW) a week ago and already have my eyes set on my next purchase. I always tell myself (and my wife) 1 gun per year. always ends up being 2 or 3. The shield is already my 3rd purchase of the year behind my savage trophy hunter xp 30-06 and GP100 SS 4 inch.
