Firearm collecting stages

We all suffer more or less from the same sickness, but I'm probably a worse case ...

I started about 37 years ago with 1911s, then I went on with K98Ks and C96s aaaaand Lugers...

In the meantime I've never stopped to go to the range for "defensive shooting" with more modern guns like CZ, Tanfoglio and Beretta... not to mention mid & long range shooting wth Garands, Remington 700 and HS Precision rifles...

All this until about last year when I realized that an ever-taller pile of unneeded guns made my life no happier, so I decided "to prune" my collection,

I kept only some vintage 1911s and a very small number of other guns: two Lugers, three Garands and a couple of modern rifles for long range shooting.
In this way I decided to enjoy more what I already owned.

After such a long time of guns-ownership and thousands of rounds of ammunition I have been reloading over the years I still love to go to the range at least once a week.

Regards.
