I buy what I want, and like what I buy. Some I've never shot. Some are go-to favorites for hunting, self-defense, and handload development for specific hunting and shooting applications. In other words, I'm a certified card carrying gun-nut.

I’m both. I shoot a lot and started taking these defensive shooting courses and will do competitive shooting soon But I also have a few collection items - MK25, Q4 SF, P30L “Wick Stick” that I got bc they’re cool I also didn’t want to be stuck on one platform (like a Glock) although I’m def a Walther guy but do enjoy HK, FN and have more Sigs than I should

At the moment I’m a shooter…a collector….i buy cause I can….cause I see something new and I like it….but also I envision the usage with each fire arm differently….no duplicate firearms.(yet) each is different, unique and offers different experience for friends and family when we shoot. I hope to one day become tactical expert…but no rush.. shit is fun…I can still afford it and they keep making cooler stuff so I’m pretty much hooked….(but not addicted)..still love the ladies and money more😅

I’m Both. Have 1- 308 will never shoot because ammo is to expensive. For pistols it is nice to shoot hole on hole. Hellcat won’t break the bank and most likely is more accurate than your Glock. Shooting is definitely fun. So glad you are just down to earth. You are going to love the A300. Your shockwave will go into your collection bench once you get the A300. Just saying Keep sending it down range. Love your content

This is an important topic. I EDC a boring old G19 and I do shoot it and dry fire it a lot. It’s plain, comfortable to carry, and I like it. I bought a Hellcat Pro because it was cool and ended up selling it because it wasn’t for me (too snappy, shitty trigger). I picked up a Canik Mete SF and can’t bring myself to shoot it because I don’t want to learn a new system. Maybe I just like the high of the buy. A better choice would have been a G47 to stick with the ecosystem.

I'm more of a shooter, but I'm a collector also, I love to shoot to keep sharp absolutely, but I love to buy guns also, I might not be able to leave my son a big fat check when I die but I can leave him and my young nephews and what not something when I pass on... I preach safety all the time on my channel and love to share safety knowledge with newbies because I come in contact with them a lot who just don't know... If it's a gun that I like or used to have or it's ok sale or whatever the case is I'll buy it. I do like to have a few different manufacturers that's pretty reliable and put a little respect on the lower tier brand firearms if that makes any sense.
