New pistol collection direction?

[ACC]

I finally rounded out my Glock 9mm collection this week when I picked up a G34. Assuming I won't ever be able to own a Glock 18, I've now got all the 9mm models.

I am now trying to figure out what direction to go for my next handgun collection.

#1. Only interested in 9mm or .45ACP guns.
#2. Not into revolvers
#3. Already own a 1911

So...I am considering going with Glocks again in .45ACP. But also considering S&W M&P (9mm or .45), XD (9mm or .45) or even Beretta M9s or Kahrs.

What say you, INGO?

weren't you recently asking about getting started in competition? If so, dont spend more $ on guns you don't need. Buy a dillon 550 or 650 and lots of bullets/primers/etc. spend all other $ on match fees, competition gear.

I have a XD tactical in 45 that I really like. Great shooter and accurate. I'd recommend looking at one if you decide to go with an XD.

GLOCK 41

how about all the different generations of Glock 9mm??
Gen 1 17's are pretty neat, and ther's the elusive Gen 2.5 (railed, but no finger groves).

Or, how about CZs in either 9mm or .45 ?

 

[throttletony]

or revolvers!!! (Yes, i saw that you're not into them -- but have you tried them lately?)
They might grow on you - u can even get em iN 9mm or .45acp (s&w 929 and 625, respectively )

Wait!?!...there are such things as guns I don't need???

No overall collection can't be complete without having a ridiculously useless large cartridge pistol collection. I'd start with a Desert Eagle.

Seriously though, I don't know. You seem to like Glocks a lot, so why not find another reason to collect more?

What's your objective? Are you collecting as an investment, for the fun of it or because you want to are loyal to a brand and want one of each they offer? All are good reasons, but the direction you go should go will depend on what you want to accomplish. If you are just looking for a big smile every time you pull the trigger, rvb makes a good point regarding reloading. Reloading will not save you money, but it sure does expand the number of times you can pull the trigger for every dollar spent. If you are not into shooting that much, but just like having one of each offered in your chosen caliber, then maybe you should start looking for other generations of Glocks. If you are looking for an investment, then don't buy Glocks. They are simple tools that do their job effectively, but don't expect much growth in their value over time. They are great guns for carry, but suck as an investment.

Everybody's different. Some people are happiest with a small number of guns that they know like the back of their hand. Others need a bit of variety in life and get bored with something once they've mastered it. In the end, go with whatever will make you happier. If that's a bunch more Glocks, then go for it. You mention that you have one 1911. Is it safe to assume it did not grab you and suck you into the 1911 obsession. So, maybe you should check out a decent reloading package. For the price of one or two Glocks, you can have a very nice setup assuming you have a place to reload. You'll still spend the same amount shooting when reloading (if not a bit more) than you do buying commercially, but you'll shoot a whole lot more. I think my costs for 9mm are running under $7 per box of 50 right now.

sincere advice:
if you want to start in competition, do that before you go dropping $ on guns just because you have $ burning a hole in your pocket. You're desire to buy 6 more glocks just because you can get them in a different caliber from the 6 otherwise-similar glocks you already own might vanish when you're introduced to the world of ultra-cool limited and open guns. And if you enjoy competition and want to do it on a regular basis, you'll want that 550 or 650 so you can afford the ammo to keep your blasters fed...

If it turns out competitions not your thing, then go adding to your collection....

Glocks in 45 ACP? That's what I'd choose. Get a 21.

Pick up a CZ 97B in .45. Awesome gun but you need big hands though I trade mine for a motorcycle. You could also start collecting Sig Sauers in 9mm.

I had a gen 4 g30 that was a real nice shooter. Only reason i got rid of it was to slim the collection to 9mm only.

 

[calcot7]

You said you already one a 1911................Only one? There is the answer to your question.

Yeah....I don't hate 1911's, but I am not really interested in collecting them.

At this point, I am kind of leaning toward Sig Sauer. I used to have a P290RS that I really liked. However, I might end up going with S&W M&P's since I already have a shield.

 

[stephen87]

9mm 1911 for S&Gs.

 

[RandallX]

i was a huge fan of my g19. went to buy a 17 but had the chance to pick up a M&P pro with apex parts already for a good deal. after firing for the first time i wish i would have given the M&P's a chance sooner. thing shoots like a dream.

What Glocks do you have. I've got a Glock 17 and 21 collection. Also working on a Rtf2 collection.
