My tastes seem to change every few months. When I bought a Ruger Vaquero in .44, I just had to have a lever action to go with it. When I got the Winchester 94 Wrangler in .44, I just had to get a side-by-side Coachgun, so I bought a Stoeger 20ga. I didn't want to have to order an authentic 19th century style holster for the Vaquero, so I bought a side of leather and made my own Mexican double-loop--no patterns, just a photo to go from.
Then I got the AR-15. Now that I have that, I seem to have an increased interest in more modern firearms, so I'm now getting into Glocks--have a 19, getting a 30 in a few days.
The interest in Glocks came about the same time as my interest in concealed carry. My interest in concealed carry lead to my interest in small revolvers, so I just had to get a S&W 442. The sudden interest in revolvers lead me to purchase a Rossi M740 (3" bbl) in .44 Special.
Ever since I was a litte kid, I've always had a love affair with the 1911's, so of course I have a couple of those lying around.
Where does it end??? All of my friends claim that I have an addiction to firearms (although my collection is miniscule compared to others I have seen). When I buy more than one or two in a month, they threaten to send me to therapy! But it feels so gooood!!!
However, I, like Mikey, tend to only
add interests--I never seem to give up a previous interest for the next. That way, I keep everything.
