How many carry guns are too many-if some are personal 'collectors'?

[BSA1]

I want the best-performing gun I can afford that meets my general carry requirements (weight, concealability, etc.). "Collectability" doesn't enter into it one way or another. In the unlikely event that I ever need to actually use my carry gun, I will care a lot more about how effectively it works than about what I paid for it, or how much money will be tied up in the evidence locker. I expect to be equally uninterested in whether the gun is a rare variant or has 99% finish.

This is worth repeating. It seems many THR members are “A penny wise and a pound foolish.”

I only have three guns that I bought with intention of carrying.
All of my others are for recreation.

ALL of mine are for recreation. Some just pull double duty. If I'm not gonna enjoy practicing with it (at least to some extent) I don't keep them around.

Oh, I do enjoy practicing with my carry guns. I have fun when I shoot any of my guns. I just have more fun with some than with others.
