Was 2013 A Good or Bad Year for Your Handgun Collection.

[Birds Away]

Did you do good on buying/selling/trading? New EDC this year? How is your collection now as opposed to this time last year? What have you learned?

 

[Snapdragon]

My handgun collection went from 0 to 1, so I guess it was a good year.

Well I opened the gun store this year, so my collection is ever changing . I did change my EDC to a Glock 29 and a Sig Scorpion.

This year was decent for me. Hope 2014 will be better. I had a Remington 700 ADL (.308, mfd. 1994, never fired) that a buddy of mine wanted. I liked his Remington 1187, so we did a trade with cash on his end. I also purchased a 1974 Colt Commander for $700 (now my EDC).
For 2014, I'm thinking another quality 1911, maybe a Mustang .380 BUG & maybe a surplus M1 in .30-06....

I bought three pistols and I gave away two. I had a net gain of one for the year, So 2013 was a good year

Good and bad. I sold my business in March so used some of the proceeds to beef up my collection getting the RIA 10mm 1911 and the XDs. But I no longer have an overall monthly shooting budget so I pretty much have any new gun purchase on hold except the 300BLK Mossberg I budgeted for in JANUARY. For my 44th birthday I got an H&R Handi Rifle in 44mag so I of course needed to get a Taurus model 44. Then the recall for the XDs happened. Then I got it back :-) And I got a LWD 9"bbl for my Glock 20.

So overall, a typical year in spite of not having much income.

Sounds like a good year to me.

Got a .357 LCR to carry. Already looking at something bigger (like a 686) for a "nightstand gun". They're like potato chips (and dogs, in my case). Can't have just one.

The gun collection thrived this year... but my wallet cried a bit. I'm at the point now that I'm wondering if I need that many pistols. (I'm a rifle type of guy, so I'd never say that about rifles...)

Acquisitions:

CZ Rami
CZ SP-01
Taurus PT1911
Ruger SR1911
XDs .45acp
Savage Model 64
Savage TR-SR
Mega Arms Maten lower

Lee Pro 1000

No, no you can't.

Although I have to say that right now the only new ones I really want are some out of production 10mms to round out my collection, and a better quality .44mag. But off the top of my head, if I had the money I could easily justify buying at least ten different handguns I would like to have currently.

And that wouldn't even come close to doubling my collection ;-)

Good
Added 3 including my first revolver

 

[AllenM]

it was pretty neutral for me except for acquiring a new Coonan 357 mag

 

[bucncrazy]

I have learned a lot!!! I went from 0 to 3 handguns! one of them my favorite 92 FS was gifted to me from my former boss who is now retireD. I have got my whole family involved with shooting and training. they are all love to shoot
it has been a great year for me!

Any year I can get a gun on my budget is a good year. Got an M&P9 full size this year, so I was pumped about that.

Hopefully good. My grandpa said he is giving me a Shield 9mm for Christmas, so I'm anxiously waiting for that. I got rid of my Kel-Tec P11 and the Shield is going to replace that as soon as I get my grubby little paws on it. Other than that my grandpa also gave me a snubby .22 revolver from his personal collection for the wife, but the wife is still skiddish around guns, so it is sitting in the safe.
