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

[STEEL CORE]

The usual couple more Glocks, now "if" I find a Glock 30S in 2014, I'll be happy.

 

[Maximinus Thrax]

Very good for my collection health. Not good for the reasons it grew. Went from two pistols and two rifles to more pistols, a boatload of bolt rifles, two gun cabinets, and most of the components I need to start reloading after my grandfather passed away.

I feel a little "lighter" and I feel as though I up-graded my collection.

As far as rifles go:
Here are some I sold or traded

Smith Sport AR Magpuled in Foilage Green-Sold
Troy AR-Traded
DPMS AR-Sold
2 Pre-ban Norinco AK's, one an under folder, and the other a 56s-Traded
PSA Complete Lower-Sold
Bulgarian AK-74-Traded
Bushmaster ACR Enhanced-Sold
Armalite AR, 24in. stainless barrel-Sold
GSG-STG-44 .22lr-Sold


I'm not going to list what I traded for or purchased as far as rifles go.
But it is an up-grade.

There are probably a few more, I just can't think of them right now.

Good year ... added

1911 SA Ro
Ruger SR45
Rem 700 .223
M&P Shield 9mm

Only bad point was I sold my RIA 1911. It was a good gun, but thought I needed to sale it to justify the Rem 700. (Bad thought process on my part.)

 

[Midskier]

Sold 2 - in hindsight I should have kept
Smith 61-2 in nickle - what a cutey and perfect condition
Sccy cpx-2 - it was perfect 500+ rounds -0- issues did send it back for something minor - because they'll do it
can back better than new or better than new broken in either way I'd have another one

added eaa witness 45 , cw9, lcp
oh and sold 2 - 22 conversion kits for 1911
who knows what will happen in 2014

Started out real bad but slowly got better throughout the year. I thankful for the little I have.

 

[VN Vet]

I don't have much money to play with anymore, but I think I did good relative to firearms and ammo. I'm happy. I may go plinking with my .22LR again instead of my air-guns.

 

[Sratch16]

Not bad. I just added a CZ P-01 to the stable. Looking to make some room and might have to sell a Dan Wesson Guardian 9mm and Bersa 380.

 

[nkantzer]

Very good year even tho I only bought 2 guns but they are just what I wanted. One was for my wife and the other for me now we both have guns we like to carry.

 

[BACKLASH]

Great year for mine. It grew by 300%! It never a bad year when you end up with more guns and ammo than you started with.

 

[NWI Serb]

Good year here! Got a Ruger LC380 (For the wife... still getting her acclimated to guns/shooting... little by little she getting there), Zastava M72 (Not a handgun but we're Serbian and I found one with the Serbian crest engraved into the buttstock so... SCORE!!! ) and my wife got me a Springfield XDs 9mm for Christmas which has since become my EDC. I'm extremely blessed and grateful for a lot of things in my life and these are just a few of my favorite things

 

[hammers]

I purchased my S/W 638 in June. Love it. So yes, a good year!

 

[88E30M50]

Kind of middle of the road year for me. I picked up a couple of new guns but sold more than I bought. Most of what I sold was stuff I did not use but a couple of them were tough to let go of and carried regrets once they were gone. My daily carry moved from a CZ 75/Kimber 1911 to a Glock 23/CZ 75 as 60/40 carry split. The 1911s get shot more now, but carried less. I neglected my rifles in 2013 with only two range trips to exercise them and my skills with them last year. That should change in 2014 though.

 

[stephen87]

Bought one handgun, sold two handguns.

Went from 1 to 2 to 0. Now I'm back in the market.

 

[amboran]

sold two handguns..but bought an AR and Savage Axis...it's all good :-)

 

[dreich]

It was such a good year that I had to buy two new safe"s to store them. The trade off was I had to buy my better half another horse.
