RE: User or collector?
I'm a hunter, not a collector. If it's got fur or feathers,I've shot one before.Yeah, I love everything that goes BANG, and love shooting them, but it's not very practical for me to buy a gun, toy with it/work up a load, then sell it. The only animal legally hunted here with a centerfire is the coyote, which not many people do, and concealed/open carry is a big no-no, so collecting firearms is not a real popular hobby.

RE: User or collector?
I am at the stage now where I am buying guns that I plan to keep until I can't shoot anymore. Some are makes and models that I tried before and liked but got the itch for something new and swaped them off. My trading days are about done. I am kinda turning back to Handguns for target and hunting. Thats where my true interests have never stared far from. I love Handgun Hunting and informal target and combat shooting and spent quite a few years shooting Handgun and rifle silhouettes and combat matches. The wife enjoys pistol shooting as well although she doesn't like the 44 Mags and bigger. She is deadly with the 22, 9MM and 45 LC.
