Ok I’m learning that’s 3 isn’t bad. Maybe I’ll send it off for some stippling and slide milling to make it different.
 
You have EIGHT G19s? Are the neighborhood armory?
Yes, eight (8).
Three of those are Gen3, four are Gen4, and one Gen5.
Also not previously mentioned were a pair of 21’s, a pair of 30S, a pair of 43’s, and a pair of 48’s.
There are several other Glocks that are single specimens, but those don’t count for this discussion.

No, not the neighborhood armory. The G19’s are generally used for taking classes when I sponsor the kids and their cousins for school. Needless to say, the inventory of magazines is a whole other logistical issue, as is procurement of ammunition for such endeavors. When we go, there is some redundancy of equipment in the event something breaks down. We choose Glocks because they work, they are cheap, and we have enough holsters, pouches, etc.
When I go by myself, I usually bring 1911’s or revolvers.
 
I've been carrying my Springfield XD sub compact for over 15 years. My wife recently got one of her own so we share magazines, holsters, etc.
 
I like variety… have 9 handguns, no doubles. Give my collecting another decade and Im sure a repeat will happen
 
Many of my guns are doubles, triples or quads, depending what I happen to run across. I especially like collecting S&W, Colt, Hk, sniper rifles and military stuff, so I've found shooters and then I keep mint original unfired original guns in the boxes.

I'm shocked when I see guys find a pristine early Colt or S&W and go shoot it, because it devalued the gun. But it's their's to do what they want.

I’ve bought numerous early, valuable collectibles that were never fired, etc. I enjoy letting the kids be the first to ever use them; you only live once, and for us it’s not about the $$. As an example, my grandfather collected S&W revolvers, and the cornerstone of his collection was his RM, circa 1936. Best we could tell it had exactly one cylinder of factory cartridges through it, as we have all the original artifacts that shipped with it when new, including a few boxes of ammunition, one of which has exactly six empty cases. The receipts in the collection show the revolver and ammunition. The factory registration cert, box, wrapper, tag, etc. are all there. I paid S&W for a factory letter some time ago, signed by Roy Jinks. A couple of years back the kids and I brought it out while my father was still with us, and enjoyed using it at the club that day, along with his vintage K22. I have absolutely no regrets about doing that, as my kids will always remember taking their grandfather to the club that day and using the cherished RM that belonged to his dad. To let that treasure sit in storage as we all grow older doesn't do much, other than appreciate in perceived value to someone else.
If I am ever fortunate enough to have grandchildren who are into firearms (very likely, knowing their parents), I have a pair of “as new” Union Switch & Signal 1911’s that will be taken out and used as well. That will be a fun, historic day!
