Default How many is enough?

I know I can't take just one gun to the range when I go. I have to have a minimum of two pistols and two rifles. What about you?

In the next couple of days, I'll be able to take another one.

I don't usually take pistols and rifles like i did at the Pafoa shoot a few weeks back.

I generally am more of a pistol shooter and as rusty as I am, I should do a lot more pistol drills. I really should take another basic pistol class

Rifles. I like to see how my 2 fairly recent Milsurp rifle acquisitions shoot( Spanish FR-8, Enfield Ishapore 2A )and shoot them at 25 50 and 100. I also take the AR and just put another K of Wolf on raincheck.

I have to get an Aimpoint for my AR and will likely start shooting that more when I get it.

All that BS aside, I usually take my 2 Glock pistols, my kahr P9 Covert and my S&W mod 66 and now my Colt 1991A1. I usually focus mostly on my carry guns

Sometimes if I have ammo loaded for my Ruger redhawk, I'll also bring it.

That Glock 36 is nagging at me that your neighbor is selling. (Hold back, hold back)

I am probably gonna save and get a S&W M&P .45 insrtead.

Default Re: How many is enough?

I've disciplined myself to shoot one gun at the range. I go up at least once a week, since I go so often, one gun is enough. But thinking about it more, I do occasionally shoot 2, a rifle and a pistol or a pistol and a shotgun. Just depends, I also shoot arrows at the 3-d targets. I don't know if that counts.

Its more an issue of ammo than it the actual firearms. I'll bring my MkIII, my EDC and possibly another handgun then I'll usually tote one rifle. At that point I'm dragging four different kinds of ammo and it gets to be a PITA.

Usually two. Whichever begs the loudest to see dailight that day, get's to go.

Anything over three takes too much time to clean.

I generally take my M16 + My Glock 19/Suppressor. I can't take more than 1 rifle since I take the subway to the range

Default Re: How many is enough?

I'm primarily a pistol shooter and the number of guns that go to the range with me depends on if I intend to practice IDPA, PPC or Bullseye. But the minimum seems to be 3. But when rifles come along, I'll still have the pistols and at least 2 rifles. Interesting though that whether rifle or pistol or both there is a a .22 of each in the mix. I always like to "warm-up" with the .22 and make sure I'm applying the basics correctly.
