This says it all!
Blue lights flashing in my rear view
The sheriff said, "Boy I should've known it was you
You got fourteen people in the back of this truck
I warned you twice and now I'm writing you up"
I said "Officer, what have I done?"
He smiled and said, "Boy you're having too much fun"
Too much fun, what's that mean?
It's like too much money, there's no such thing
It's like a girl too pretty with too much class
Being too lucky, a car too fast
No matter what they say, I've done
But I ain't never had too much fun

I did at one time but realized that I really did have "too many." I'd actually forget I had one or the other at times. They lay in the safe and never got picked up, much less fired. I also realized that I had several that other people would love to have and would use.
So I sold most of them off. and only kept a half dozen or so that I really like. I still pick one up from time to time but not like I used to.
And they're all 38/357.

I think we are missing another valid point, do you have enough ammo for all your 38/357? Lord knows I don't lol. I just reloaded 200 rnds last night lol.

You gun-nut you.
I'm a tiny bit ashamed to admit that my guns outnumber my wife's shoes.
But at least we don't need a safe for those.

hmmm.... guns vrs wife's shoes... never thought of that, but I'm sure we have more guns at home than shoes ( counting everyone's shoes ) 
CajunBass,
I remember when you were reducing your collection. It came almost as a shock to me. I have an easier solution; I give the overage guns to my sons.
My youngest wrenched away the P210-4 that I gave to his brother when he entered med school. I just corrupted him by letting him hold my Hi Power and now he is eyeing my Python and Colt OMM. He dreams of having a gun room with a vault door when he is out of College.
Maybe gun collecting is a heredetary desease?

When my wife tells me I don't need another gun I just mention all the shipping boxes from QVC arriving at the house. Then remind her that every one of them contained something she can now get pennies on the dollar for. Then inform her that non of my guns are valued less than I paid, and some many times more!
Of course she always has the nuclear option of telling me "well then, sell some of them"

So where does "good sense" come into the collecting hobby ? An S&W N frame can fire everything from light target loads to full power loads, a Dan Wesson Pistol Pac is four-or more-guns in one a full size CZ with a Kadet unit is 2 guns in one. Then we have 3, 4 and 5 screw S&Ws, Colts and Mark III Colts, CZ-27s with and without Waffenamt markings, etc.
If your conscience really is bothering you, just PM with your inventory and I will tell you which ones to send me c/o this forum.

I know what you mean Sir.I have 22 .38 sp. and another 36 .357 mags.I do like this caliber.
I have some really nice ones and still have a few more on my mind and on my search and WTB lists. I keep telling myself I will pick a couple favorites and sell the rest, but so far I have only one duplicate for sale. There is something about separation anxiety there, when I think about selling something I do actually like and which has had significant gunsmithing enhancement invested, which I may not recover in resale. It seems so easy to just keep something, until the money runs out.
.Damn...
...I need to do some catch up. I only have 3 revolvers in .38spl, two 686+ Smiths (4" and 6") and a Ruger LCR. There is 4 .38s in the house if you include my wife's Taurus 85.
This might change soon as I have $900 burning a hole in my pocket and and considering a 686+ with a 2.5 or 3" bbl or perhaps an 8 shot 627 or R8. I'll get one of those if I don't stumble upon a 4" 617 to go with my 6" 617.
