I guess I should explain. I like guns and collect them for several reasons/purposes:

1. Guns that interest me (design, engineering, etc) Walther, Remington 51, Ortgies
2. Guns I like to shoot at the range (Sigs, S&W's, 1911)
3. Guns I carry for personal defense (Sig, 1911's, S&W's)
4. Guns that have a special meaning to me (AR-15, Beretta 92FS, M1911A1)

I won't carry an old gun for self defense (except my M1911A1's!) and it takes me a long time to get comfortable with a gun to carry it for self defense. Right now, the Sig P239 is my carry weapon, but I'm looking for a smaller summer carry piece, maybe a Sig P232 or similar gun. I do not like Glocks because of the way they feel in my hand and their triggers. It's a personal preference to me as I can see the good and bad in just about every design and style of gun out there. I don't care for revolvers, but that's just a personal preference for semi-automatic pistols. I usually recommend a revolver for a gun novice as their 1st gun.

If a family member or friend gives me a gun, it automatically goes into a "special category" and I will always keep them because of who gave them to me. Hopefully, I'll be able to pass them along to my kids some day...
