I am minimalist when it comes to firearms. I don’t tend to own multiple firearms which can do, or are used for the same purpose. I’d prefer to own one firearm that is excellent at a single purpose, than two which are mediocre. For easy of categorization I lump my firearms into two categories: handgun, and rifle (this includes shotgun).

I own a total of four handguns, and five rifles. I purchased each with a specific purpose in mind. My handguns include: Kel Tec P-3AT, H&K P2000, Taurus Judge, and a S&W M&P Compact. My rifles include: Tri Star Over/Under, Remington 783, S&W M&P15, Springfield 1903A3, and a lever action .22.

As I mentioned before, I am a minimalist when it comes to firearms. The next firearm I purchase will need to do something these do not. There are a few I am looking at: CZ Scorpion EVO 9mm, AK 47 pistol, or the AR pistol. I hope you enjoyed my collection. Let me know if you have any questions about my firearms in the comment section below.
