Money in hand and nothing is calling to me,,,
I suppose I should be really happy.

It's just that it's never happened to me before,,,
Not in all of my 63 years on the planet.

I went to the huge Wannenmacher's gun show in Tulsa last Sunday,,,
I walked until my feet were swollen and purchased nothing,,,
And I had $650.00 in disposable cash in my pocket.

I saw tons of spiffy and interesting fieryarms,,,
But nothing called out to me saying "take me home".

Could it be that I have,,,
Enough guns?

I give you credit. At least you didn't come here and say "I've got $650, what should I get?"

Obviously you know what you like, what you want and what you need. Right now it appears none of that applies. Odd are, that will change tho........:D
 
Now I thought you were in the hunt for a glorius six inch Model 17 K-22 as a companion to your four inch Model 18?

Well, I sorta am, but there's one problem with that,,,
If I find that elusive glorious Model 17,,,
I'll need a model 14 as well. :o

Can't have it getting lonesome in the safe can we. ;)

Bah, all modern double action S&W revolvers are absolutely related. You could make many arguments and pairings or triples or more. If you have a Model 10... do you have a Model 64? Or you could pair a Model 10 with a Model 13. :D

If you get a 17 to couple up with your 18, a good "sibling" for a Model 14 might be a Model 16. Frankly, it could be endless depending upon your perspective.

It's just that I actually recall you wishing you could find and/or budget a sweet Model 17.
 
How's about instead of buying anything, spend your dough at a firearms training facility, learning something new?
A long range precision shooting school?
A defensive pistol class?
A defensive carbine class?
A defensive cowboy gun class?
A shotgun clay bird school?
So much to choose, so little time.
 
You know me too well Sevens,,,

Yes, it wasn't all that long ago,,,
But I think I've calmed down on that.

I do like to collect pairs of centerfire/rimfire guns.

I have a 15/18 set and a 36/34 set,,,
My OCD would force me to look for a 14 the moment I acquired a 17.

I have always thought I might like to get a Model 64 and a Model 10,,,
Because I already own a pristine Model 12,,,
Three fixed sight K-frame revolvers,,,
In three different metals.

They would look so elegant all cased together. :)

Yeah, you are right. If you did get a 17, you would want a 14 -- but if you had those two and you didn't get a Model 16, that would just be a tragedy.

How about a nickel plated Model 10 to go along with a 10, 64 and your Model 12? :eek::D (now I am really not helping...)
 
I have a model 17-6, 6" with those really nice ($$) S&W grips...virtually the same weight and balance as my 6" M28. Bit different recoil. :D

I've recently noticed something similar, going to gun shows, with cash, maybe buying a ...book....

I'm at the point that while I have fairly broad interests, they have been mostly sated. Nearly every gun / caliber I have ever been seriously interested in, I have either owned or gotten enough experience with to satisfy my curiosity.

maybe its just a slump...

hope so..

Hello 44 AMP,,,

I think this might be where my mind is right now,,,
I have purchased 53 fiery-arms over the past 7 years,,,
The list of guns I wanted to at least shoot (or buy) has been shortened considerably.

Other than the little .22 Plinker revolver I have on back order,,,
All of the little niche guns I wanted have been purchased.

I'm not through buying guns,,,
But the word "sated" does have relevance.

I know I'm not actively looking for anything right now,,,
I'll probably stash the cash for when something unique catches my eye.

I'm in that boat. Don't need a damn thing at this point in my life, and precious little I want that I don't already have.

When I was young and broke I wanted so much. Now I'm old and have more disposable cash...nothing left I want or need.

Wife has suggested I sell everything. All of them...and start over.
