I've sold off the majority of my handguns.
Well, against his philosophy, I sold off almost every cheap gun I own. I just felt like I had too many cheap guns that I had purchased over the years because I didn't posses the finances at the time to purchase what I really wanted. This has particularly been the case with a lot of my handguns.
In total, I had 16 handguns and now only own 7. The handguns I kept are a Ruger Blackhawlk 357mag, an NAA 22mag, a Remington RM-380, a CZ-p01, a Glock 43, a Ruger mark 2, and a Uberti 44 cal black powder revolver.
the guns that I liquidated would include a Kel-tec pF-9, a Kel-tec p-32, a Ruger LCP, A Ruger p-95, a Kimber 1911, a Sig mosquito, A couple heritage arms 22 revolvers, and a Taurus model 66 357mag.
My reasoning for the Kimber 1911 and the little Sig mosquito was that they were simply unreliable firearms. That was an easy decision; however, the other firearms were all very reliable. I just felt that they were of low quality. I felt that these guns were more of a liability than assets. I really just wanted to clean house and now that I'm financially in a place to start purchasing more top end firearms, I plan on never purchasing a cheap entry level gun again.
Am I nuts for doing this? Has anyone else on here ever done this after they started making real money? All my new purchases have been rifles other than the CZ p01 I purchased a few months ago, but I plan on buying nothing but high quality guns for now on.
