Not going to list what I have, too much paperwork in the first place and not always good idea in the second place.
I do have a nice tight collecting area, though, Infantry Rifles.
Got my C&R FFL so I didn't have to feed the middleman.
Also collect anything else that strikes my fancy.
Got all the guns to look at cowboy shooting, then didn't get into it. Guns got me into Civil War reenacting, and almost WW II reenacting before that.
Getting the idea?

It's official, drobs has TOO much disposable income. That and working part time Tuesday / Thursday nights and all day Sunday at a gun shop doesn't help either. Oh and did I mention I lost all of them in a water skiing accident?

I feel like such a beginner. I only have five handguns. 1) Lady Rossi .38 special and a snubbie to boot. My first gun but not my favorite. 2) Firestorm .40 S&W. In the shop now and not the best gun for a beginner. 3) Ruger 22/45. I finally found the right gun to learn with. I am still trying to overcome the flinch I developed from my first two gun purchases. I had been told that a .22 would not be a sufficient caliber for self defense. I agree, but I think hitting your target with a .22 is better than missing with a .45. 4) Ruger P85 9mm. My favorite gun and the one I keep on hand around the house. 5) G26 9mm. This is the gun I use for my carry gun. I seldom carry, but it is nice to have that option. I have my permit. I will still need more practice to become comfortable. I did not shoot at all until about 3 years ago and then after shooting for about a year the range I used closed down . I found another range in March 2004 and have been shooting about once or twice a month since ;D. Don't despair for me because I am a beginner though; my collection is sure to grow. I am planning on a shotgun or a rifle when I get my tax refund this year. I also still want a .45 . So many guns so little money and time.

Saphic told us: >2) Firestorm .40 S&W. In the shop now and not the best gun for a beginner.<
I'm not familiar with the Firestorm. I have a Star Firestar, in 9mm, and I know there are 40 and 45 caliber versions of this gun. Please tell us who manufactures the Firestorm.
Thanks, Cougar

Sapphic is very right about the .40 S&W NOT being for beginners.
When doing CCW training, the .40 S&W generates the MOST complaints about recoil and "sharpness" (the way the recoil is delivered). The only other firearms that come close to this for complaints are the blowbacks shooting the 9 X 18 Makarov, and mostly the FEG guns more than the Maks themselves.
Sapphic, have someone work with you at the range with your .22/45 and do "ball and dummy" drills with the helper loading the pistol. Part of the time they load it normally and part of the time they put a fired .22 case into the chamber as the first round.
This will physically SHOW you the flinch and the lack of recoil with the .22/45 will help to let you eliminate the flinch.
