HK P2000sk - best carry gun made...I love this pistol!
HK USP Elite - Uber Accurate.
HK P7 - Very cool gun.
Walther TPH - Tiny fun gun
Seecamp - A piece of jewery that shoots.
Daewoo DP52 - A wonderful .22lr.
Sig P230 .32acp - Jap. police model, neat gun.
Sig P232 Rainbow Titanium. My brother calls it my "gay gun".
Kahr T9 - The underappreciated wonder gun.

These are the ones I like to fondle a little extra when I clean them or they just make me smile when I shoot them. That doesn't make me wierd does it?

No, I don't think it makes you weird. Nice collection.

I know very little about HK's, outside of the fact that they are well-regarded. What's their most popular 9mm? And you think P2000sk is the best carry gun made...why? Is it easy to conceal? Really reliable? All of the above?

Just a CZ 75B SA.

(I'm a handgun noob).

Well, you seem to have started out well. The CZ 75's are one of the most highly regarded 9mm's out there.

Lord help me, I have some of these in duplicate and triplet. I love them all equally, some more equally than others.

Awesome collection. Huge springfield guy, huh?

I have around 60 hand guns. Its not hard to build up quite a few buying 2 or 3 a year for 30 years!

That's awesome.

In this context, I guess me buying two handguns last month is just fine.

How do you maintain that many guns? Is there a way to store handguns so they won't rust or anything? Or do you have to clean these from time to time?

Ranger61 · March 5, 2009, 08:02 PM

Its not that tough. Dehumidifier in the gun room and at least wipe them down good after you handle them. I make sure I clean them well when I shoot them in the humidity of the summer or during the fall hunting seasons. I clean them extra carefully when I accidently drop one in the snow.

SilentHitz · March 5, 2009, 08:08 PM

Too many to list, and still growing.

I can't seem to stop buying 1911s

Playboypenguin · March 5, 2009, 08:10 PM

More than some people, far less than other. Not nearly as many as I would like.

I only have a Red Ryder BB gun. I just like reading here and listening to everyone else.

Got that g-man? **speaking into microphone**

akr · March 5, 2009, 11:24 PM

"Didn't you know you could put someone's eye out with that BB gun, young man?" How many of you remember hearing that? LOL.

PBP--

You must be in competition with XavierBreath. LOL. Wonderful collection of guns.

JWT · March 5, 2009, 11:31 PM

Always one less than I 'need'.

BOZMAN98flsts · March 5, 2009, 11:34 PM

We don't need no stinking guns!

Baba Louie · March 5, 2009, 11:40 PM

Mostly revolvers and semi autos with a couple of single shots thrown in for good measure.

Out of those, most are designed to shoot cartridge ammo with a few being BP. I think one or two of the old timers actually used BP in brass cases as well, just to show their versatility. But they're oldtimers... (might be fun to load some .38 spls or .45 Colts w/ BP and shoot out of a newer snubbie at night tho')

Tho' there are a couple of paintball, er... marker CO2 thingies for grins and snickers. But they don't really count.

Blackhawk Doc · March 6, 2009, 05:39 AM

I currently have 2 handguns one is a RIA 1911 A-1 .45 & the other is a Sig P223/P6.I have plans to get a new gun as soon as I can save up enough money.

The most popular 9mm HK is hard to say. The P7 is the "cult" member of the bunch and certainly has it's admirers. The USP may be the most common and is incredibly reliable and robust. The USP is available in a number of model permutations tailored to your exact need. The P2000 series improved on the USP perfection. The new P30 (which I don't own...yet), is a further refinement. The P30 has a grip that just feels perfect and may prove to be the most popular in the future.

The P2000sk is a good size for concealment. It is way more accurate than you'd expect. The controls are where you want them. As with all poly HKs you get your choice of triggers. Recoil is lighter than it should be. HK really excels ar reducing recoil well. The pistol is unstoppable and feels that way. It simply doesn't hesitate to work...ever. That's the main reason it like it. I have great confidence in my P2000sk

chucksolo69 · March 6, 2009, 10:40 AM

Smith & Wesson 586 .357 Mag

CZ 75B .40 Smith & Wesson
1943 Star Model B 9MM Parabellum
Sig Sauer Mosquito .22 LR
Bersa Thunder .380 ACP
Walther P38 9MM Parabellum

Not a large collection, but effective.

I might be...I have no idea who that is.

There are so many people on here with more guns that I will ever have, so as long as I have guns that fit my very specific tastes and I have one for every use I can think of I am happy.

Don P · March 6, 2009, 12:16 PM

My tin foil anteni is telling me we are being watched

and as for that, not enough owned and I willnever own enough.

pesta2 · March 6, 2009, 12:22 PM

I did own some guns until the accident. I took them sailing with me on the Mon River one summer for a leisurely cruise. They enjoy going out and doing that. I was not paying attention, distracted by a Crane flying over and creamed right into a Coal Barge. Down they went, I was lucky enough to save my Autographed photo of Charlton Heston though.
