Hi. My name is Brian and I have a problem...

Post by pbwalker »

albeit a good one. I can't stop buying guns. I no longer buy computer toys or technical gadgets. No more GPS this or Bluetooth that...no, it's magazine this and scope that.

In a period of 5 months, I've gone from nothing to having the following:

Springfield XD .45
Glock 23
KelTec P3AT
Rossi (Taurus) .38 spl
Bersa Thunder .380
Bushmaster AR-15
Remington 770
SKB Ithaca 500 12. gauge

and my newest toy this evening. Mosin Nagant M44 (1947) 7.62x54R rifle in EXCELLENT condition. Yeah, I know it's a cheapie rifle, but the muzzle blast pics on another thread here sold me. And besides, it was only $100 with 5 boxes of ammo...

But I need to stop...It's an addiction. But now I find myself shopping SKS's. I can't stop!! "rlol"

Guns are like golf clubs.....each one serves a specific purpose, yet all are tools used to accurately place a projectile downrange at a small target.

don't feel bad....it's not an addiction, it's a SPORT!!

Only problem I can see is there is no 1911 in the list yet. You gotta get a 1911. :tiphat:

It's not a problem til you run out of money. But then there's always that extra kidney God gave you....

If you see a Garand at the range, RUN! There is no cure for Garanditis.

Also, I agree with Longtooth, get a 1911. :cheers2:

Like an alcoholic you must remove temptation from your grasp. I am willing to take your firearms and keep you from them until we both feel you can handle them w/o temptation.

Oh yes, I know the problem - right now I am collecting Ruger DA revolvers. Hopefully I will resolve this problem when I get my Alaskan .44 mag.
