I have quite a few. I have a .357 taurus snub nose, thats my ccw weapon, a smith and wesson .357, a beretta 12 guage, a 12 gauge mossberg 500, a makarov (which I broke trying to put back together), a few .38 revolvers, a few .22 rifles for coyote hunting. And a few misc. guns I can't remember at the moment. Post your stuff here.

My collection used to consist of a lot more choices, but since then I've done a lot of selling. Right now I'm down to just my PPQ 9mm and the Ruger Mk. II that I grew up learning with.
I do have plans, though! But money doesn't come in the way that it used to in our household.
When I had more choices, they included multiple 1911s (1 Colt M1991A1, 2 Springfield Chamions 1 of which was an Operator model), multiple Glocks (2x 26s, 17, 23), a SIG P228R which was a military overrun M11 model, a DPMS AR-15, a Remington 870, a Beretta 92FS, a Russian IJ-70 Makarov, a CZ-75 P-01, and a Walther PPK/S Stainless.
Actually, it wasn't all of those at once, but all of those were owned by me at some point. The collection's largest size was 5 things at once.

I'm kind of a gun nut. Pistols, I have a Kimber Ultra Carry .45, a Sig Sauer 228 40 and a Kahr CW 9, which is my CCW gun. Rifles, I have a 270, a 22-250 and a 22 LR, which was my dads. Shotguns, I have 2 20 ga and 1 12 ga. My house is stocked full of gun safes.

Cheetah, do you mean a 229 .40? The P228 was only ever manufactured in 9mm because the stamped carbon steel slide used wasn't able to reliably support .40 or .357 SIG. Or at least that was what I had been told by other SIG nuts.

Glutton, you are right. I used to have a 228 9mm but sold it after they discontinued the model to a friend who collects discontinued models and replaced it with a 229 40. I get them confused because they look so much alike. My bad.

What keeps you from carrying, Kokoro? That is if you don't mind me asking.

The gun laws are weird here so I can't really have one because I'm not a cop or a criminal lol
but I have a paintball gun & bb pistol I use for gun disarms that works pretty good.
If worst comes to worst I can probably shoot ball bearings out of my paintball gun if I can get the right sized ones which will probably be lethal.

not at all glutton
What keeps me from carrier is lack of will to pull the trigger. Why should I carry gun if I'm not willing to kill the person. Besides there are things far worst then death that I can think of. A gun is only useful if your willing to pull the trigger, and I don't believe in pulling a weapon I'm not willing to use.
I can control the amount of damage I do with my hands and martial art weapons.

@glutton, yea I loved the P228, I just didn't feel a need for two 9mm's. You should test shoot a P229 40 cal, though. It's pretty sweet.
Man, that's a huge CCW gun. Seems too big for the waistband and definitely too big for the ankle. What do you have a shoulder holster or something?
My Kahr is just right for CCW, it's big enough for someone with larger hands but the stock is narrow, good for inside the waistband.
As far as my favorite to shoot, hands down the Kimber .45acp, it is deadeye solid.

I have a Mossberg 590. It is basically the same as the 500 but it has the dual gas chamber and lug nut for a bayonet. Now I just need to add the bayonet as soon as i find one. Don't ask why I need the bayonet...lol I also have Sig Sauer P250, and Glock 22. I've sold my .22 rifles.

Very similar to a Glock 19, actually, just with different features. I carry it in a Garrett Industries Silent Thunder IWB holster at 3 o'clock. I don't like shoulder rigs. I like to have a good sized pistol that I shoot well and that's reliable, and I like to keep it on my side where I can draw it quickly if need be. I've carried so long that I don't even feel it anymore. To get to that point, I've made sure it's on my person at all times (same with past CCW pistols) whether I'm out and about or just sitting around at home.

I alternate between my Glock 22 and my Sig P250 for my CCW. I'm considering a sub instead of my full size ,40 cal glock. It weighs down my waistband.

A good holster and belt could fix the issue with your waistband getting weighed down. Make sure you use a holster with belt loops rather than something like a J clip. That puts the weight on the belt rather than on the waist of the pants. Also make sure the clip is sized for the belt you choose and the belt a proper gun belt. That should make carrying much more comfortable.
