Do you own more than 1 of the same pistol?

[swampratt]

I got my first Hi-Point 45 years ago and Loved it so much I waited until someone on here was selling one and I got it.
1 for each hand.
Then I got another one and then one in 40 and I have one in 9 now.

So just get the optic ready one in the style you like.

I do. I often apply the “1 is none and 2 is 1” mindset to things I really like.. especially items or tools that eventually wear out. If I find something I really like, I prefer to buy two. One to use and one stored as back up.

Obviously, I don’t have doubles of all my guns. That would be too expensive lol. But I do have doubles of my daily carry/heavily used guns. One to run hard and use all the time and a backup kept pristine in the safe. Provides me peace of mind!

 

[Rick Terhune]

Yes! One is none, two is one!

 

[Camo]

Yes, I have 2 that I have duplicates.

 

[El Pablo]

why would I not?

I have several pairs of identical guns,,,
But most of them are one rimfire and a matching gun in centerfire.

Bersa Thunders in .22 and 380,,,
Beretta 80-series in .22, 32, and 380,,,
CZ-75B in 9mm and CZ-75B Kadet in .22 LR.

And 5 more pairs of revolvers in 22 and centerfire,,,
A purist wouldn't count these though as they have different model numbers.

I have a matching pair of 22/45 Mk-III stainless slab-side pistols,,,
It's very nice for when I take a friend to the range,,,
We're both shooting the identical model pistol,,,
So no one has an equipment advantage.

I had a pair of Beretta NEOS pistols for the same reason,,,
But I recently gifted one of them to my best bud.

I have a pair of Kel Tec P17 pistols in layaway,,,
I will use these pistols to introduce friends to shooting.

So yeah there are legitimate reasons for having pairs of pistols,,,
As if I needed to justify doing something that pleases me.

No. Why would I?

 

[sherrick13]

Exactly? Only one type. Ruger Single Actions for cowboy shooting.

However I have multiples of 1911s, Glocks, Hi Powers, Model 10's and probably a few others. But they are differing in generations or other ways that make them not really identical.

 

[crrcboatz]

2 Ruger 101s 3” barrels. One in 38 special and the other in 327 mag

 

[THAT Gurl]

I don't. But Grumpy does ...
