...I am also a Liberal. That means I believe in the rights of the individual and that government will always attempt to restrict them so less government is better. I will not change the name of what I am because it's been usurped by the Socialist Democrat Theology.
Sorry, you kind of found one of my buttons.
Indeed, I don't like having a whole lot of expensive liabilities laying around that I hardly ever use. I'd be okay with pruning off my collection to half of what it is and then maybe buying two or three more nicer ones. I have a number that I'd gladly trade off, and one or two that Id trade for the right catch. I am most on the fence about a Dan Wesson 15 - 2 357 with a 4in barrel that I have.I have different guns for different purposes. Concealed carry, open carry (woods), home defense, and some just for fun... OK, most are just for fun! As I age I find that I try to purchase fewer guns and enjoy the ones I own more!

I like the CZ52. Too bad about ammo availability...I have different guns for different purposes. Concealed carry, open carry (woods), home defense, and some just for fun... OK, most are just for fun! As I age I find that I try to purchase fewer guns and enjoy the ones I own more!
You don't like your Dan Wesson? What don't you like about it? My DW 744 is one of my favorites! I have a few of mine marked for trade in also. My CZ-75 compact is a great gun... but it doesn't fit my hand in the least! It will move on one of these days.
I said I was on the fence. I chose it and keep it for the fact that it's as tough as any Ruger for heavy loads, and it's got nice balance and you can interchange barrels and all that. The unique cylinder release is not an issue with me. l almost like it more than more conventional mechanisms. However I find the 15 clunky! It's not the veritable early "pork chop" frame, but it's close. I\m not accurate with it unless I really relax. It's imperative that you work with the sights on it....which are GOOD. But I am more interested in being able to draw and obliterate without such snags. It's a combo trail/target gun. If I keep it I will probably buy one of the longest barrels available, like at least 8"...at LEAST, and go for distance. For EDC it probably serves no major purpose for me and I'll need to consolidate or sell. I'm just considering it's value for trade, which I realize has merit. Otherwise it's a test platform or hand artillery with no practical value.
I have your UC's little brother for cc, my Thunder 380. Shoots great, eats whatever ammo I have run through it.Funny how I came across this thread... after just bringing my first handgun out of the safe again for home duty after about 5 years. It's a Bersa 45ACP Ultra Compact.
Nope, or we'd all have that gun.I realize that all calibers and actions and designs have their merits and drawbacks.
I have a handy Security Six that is never far from me in my house.I consider 357 Magnum the most efficiently effective handgun caliber in the history of the world.

I have a Dan Wesson 15-2. To be honest I am not really a revolver guy & when I bought it I knew next to nothing about what I was doing. I just wanted a .357. I like it a lot. I seldom shoot it as it is not what I usually carry but I'll probably keep it forever because it is very accurate & I like it. Most of my range time is spent on my carry guns.
As for my firearms. My original interest was hunting. When I was young I had acquired a couple of rifles that went away during my misspent youth. I sold one & lost the other in pawn trying to get out of binds I had put myself in. Later after I straightened up I figured if I had a .30-06, a 12 gauge & a .22 I could hunt pretty much anything I wanted to. So that was what I acquired. Back around 2007 I started carrying. At the time I had a Ruger P-series & the Dan Wesson 15-2. That was where my carry journey began. I have spent a lot of time looking for a better mousetrap. Getting excited thinking something will be better because it was a new model. Now I am at a point where there are a couple of things I might like to have but I am fine with what I've got. I am sure I will add something or change up at some point but I don't feel a need to get something else or try to gain experience with every gun there is out there.
