Do you guys ever buy guns that you know you shouldn't?

jezsuizDo you guys ever buy guns that you know you shouldn't?
I seem to have a weakness for decent pistols in 9mm or 45. I have 1 pistol I shoot. The other 15 or so never leave the safe. Still no block somehow...

wolfe 21Dan Wesson VBob for $1250, 15-22 for $229, Glock 34 G4 for $569, GP 100 Wiley Clapp SS with the nicest worked over trigger in my safe & CT grip for $425 and a $350 PX4 were "too good to pass" in my eyes.
Cz Sp01, 75D compact, a 22" 870 express, 590 Marine coat, 10/22 international, OD GLOCK 17, 5" 686 plus, WG p220 & 228, CZ 455 target thumbhole were all because I was there and had $ in my pocket.
I have impulse control issues, but no old lady to be accountable to.
A Perpetual Disappointment...

I have superior impulse control.
Wow, that's amazing. I'm the same way too.

I don't. I have three pistols that satisfy all of my needs and desires.

Rolan_KrapsI am about too. I have "touched" the reproductions of the S&W Schofield in .38 special.
I'm about to trade into one. It doesn't fit my hand, but I just LOVE the gun! I will poist pictures if I make the deal.

casI usually don't... But two years ago I bought a pistol I knew I shouldn't. It was a turd. I sold it this year (with full disclosure) for $600 less than I paid.

Excam_ManNice purchase. I've wanted a Solo since the beginning, but all the bad press has kept me from buying one.

I put another 75 rounds through it today including 50 round of 115gr Aguila. Mine seems to work so it's obviously defective

BlackwaterWell, at the time I buy them I think I shouldn't. Sometimes that feeling is validated like when I got a Nano, P938.
Other times I'm pleasantly surprised like the APX.
Recently I wanted to give and XDe a ride and it's quickly becoming my favorite.=, reminding me of a single stack P2000.

Oh hell no!
Well except for that Star PD.....try to find parts for that sucker. Oh yeah, and maybe that Pico last week. I mean, it was only $207 NIB. Keeps me off the street with attempted modifications to get it to feed more than one round so that's a positive!

tartan427A second on the Star PD, I'm still looking for parts as well.
