Ok, as you know I'm a relatively new shooter so this is a new experience. I'm bored with my p226... I'm assuming this can happen over time. How do you guys deal with it? Trade/sell it? throw it in the safe until you want to shoot it again?
It's a slow day, give me ideas. I'm leaning towards trading it, but should I be wary of trading out my first gun? (not that I'm sentimental at all).
Is the p226 the only gun you own? If so don't sell and in order to buy another one.......
Do you own any shotguns? Do you own a rifle?
It took me a few years to get to this goal but you should be starting a collection of the following.....for obviouse reasons:
1. self defense handgun......you have it
2. Shotgun.......home defense/huntting.......like an 870 remmy or 500 mossy
3. center fire rifle.......7.62 x ????? like a bolt action hunting .308 or 30-06 or hell even a mosin nagant
4. rim fire rifle......like a 10-22 ruger or bolt action/lever action 22
5. some type of semi auto rifle.......of course the AR is what we are talking about here
Pretty much once you ahve those fire arms you have what you need......you know.....for a rainy day........ther will be plenty of debate about what is the best to own for each category......but even if you have a "basic" example of each of these 5 categories you have a great start.
THen you can start trading up and selling / buying to upgrade what you have you know like trade/sell the mossy or remmy scatter gun for a better quality semi auto or sell you handgun for one you want
but always......ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST those 5 items with ammo to feed em in your safe.
