About what percentage of your current collection is "newer to the market"

[Hoosier8]

What I would call new are those I bought new. A 4” S&W 44 Magnum Mountain gun, a couple Pietta (I think) 44 Magnum lever actions, a Cimerron 44 Special open top Navy, a built AR-15, a Ruger LPC Max and recently a P365XL. The rest are anywhere from a decade or more older back to the Civil war.

For EDC some of the newer ones are better, lighter.

I have a few "newish" guns, but by far, most of my collection is 8+ decades old.

Are any of them smokeless?

 

[Leadeye]

Most of my stuff would be considered old school, but I still shoot it.

Newer design or newer manufacture of old designs? My oldest 1911 is just over 15 years old. But I’ve also got a 1908 manufacture and a 1946 manufacture long gun so……?

 

[Kdf101]

Im all over the place on this one. I run from 1940’s to a tikka CTR made two years ago. a lot of stuff from the “middle” range I guess.

 

[Leo]

all my stuff is at least old enough to vote, some is old enough to collect Social Security.

I wouldn't consider a 1911 new to the market. Basically, did the gun exist say 5-6 years ago? Examples: Beretta A300 patrol, Springfield Echelon, Sig P365, S&W CSX, S&W FPC, Ruger Max 9, Springfield Prodigy, FN Reflex, IWI Carmel, etc

I'm far enough from neighbors that a nekkid old man in crocs with a bayonet on an AR is a pos

OMG. That has to be the most terrifying thing I have ever heard. Someone handling an AR with a bayonet....while wearing CROCS. Man....what is this world coming to. Does style have no meaning? Tactical awareness(you would be better of barefoot than wearing foam on your feet!). I have heard it all now. CROCS while using a bayonet.....unbelievable.


80-85%Over 10 years+ old

 

[BehindBlueI's]

I'm not mathing out the percentage, but by far the largest portion of handguns are revolvers and hammer fired Sig P2XX. One 1911. A hand full of personally owned Glocks. I own more P220s alone than Glocks, actually.

Rifles? Nothing other than a take-down 10-22 wouldn't have been available 20+ years ago. ARs and bolt actions.

Shotguns: Pumps and a Ted Williams semi-auto.

 

[DadSmith]

Taurus TX22 is something different and new to the market that I have and really enjoy.
Ruger PCC? It's kinda like a 10/22 in 9mm so not sure if that is new and innovative.
I pretty much stick to the technology that works, and wait until the new stuff has been tried and proven.
Everything else is based off older firearms designs that I own.

 

[Mongo59]

I have two guns that have a build date that starts with a "2", other than that most everything is as old or older than I am.

And like that great philosopher Mr T said, "Piddy da fool..."

0%, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

 

[kaveman]

I dunno,...I buy a lot of stuff but 'new' stuff is not a big interest. I don't even usually know what the new stuff is but that being said I probably have 40-50 guns that have been newly introduced in the last ten yrs, so maybe 4-5%. Half the stuff I own is older than I am(smarter and better looking too).
