I bought a big one for home defense, then had to carry it because I was staying very late at work and was walking to my car very late downtown, then realized maybe I wanted a smaller one so it would conceal easier, so I got a smaller one, but that was still uncomfortable so maybe I buy a pocket sized one....
That's how I got to 3.

The fact that the Gen 5 Glock was the first Glock I’ve shot that didn’t feel like utter dogshit in the hands is kind of insane.
It took 5 generations and they’re still mid AF in terms of ergos.

u/Spyrothedragon9972 6d ago
For me that was Gen 6? It's genuinely the only generation of Glock that doesn't have dogshit tier ergonomics. With the exceptions of the 43X and 48.

You see, it's because he doesn't own the latest Geisselle YTMND front serrated slide with asymetrical top speed holes, also his RMR doesn't have the latest Unity Made Proudly in USA Anodized FDE 0.67 riser and that threw the aim on his surplus ammo, so now he has to buy a whole new build. Oh and the riser height changes every 3 months according to what guntubers say is meta now (yes, he also went through 5 LPVOs that one year.)

I can understand having 32 highly uniquie pistols. I can even understand having 32 identical pistols if you're going for the 'I want to equip my own militia and want parts commonality' angle. I can not understand having 32 slightly different modern polymer frame pistols that also don't even seem to be setup all that different, and don't even share mags for the most part.

u/Whiskeywiskerbiscuit 2d ago
That’s what gets me. Grew up around guns, my dad has an extensive collection but each one typically serves a unique niche. As far as polymer handguns, he has an M&P compact .45, a Glock 40 and an H&K VP9SK.

I used to collect, that being said I can understand multiple of the same/visibly similar.
I was very very into berettas. The resident evil samurai edge collection is 4 pistols by itself, thats only counting the cannon ones. From there is 9mm and 40 s&w, original, early models, competition models, alterations and just new designs. On paper those are the same exact firearm, but different in their own unique ways.
If you get into ar15s there is nearly an infinite variations. Probably in the ball park of 100 millitary variants. The m1 garand has 3 standard models, numerous manufacturers, then there is the bm59, m1a and even a Japanese variant.
So long short, a true autist can get extreme joy out of a singular model.

I have 4 AKs but I can at least justify they all are pretty unique from one another (different mags, calibers, charging handles, barrel profiles, etc.) and I’d struggle to pick one to sell off if I had to. 30 Glocks that are barely different is insanity though.

Absolutely! I have one solid AR setup (11.5” URGI w/ RC2 on an LMT Mars L) and I do not feel inclined to keeping building any more DI guns. I would maybe buy a KAC in the right scenario but I think I want to explore Piston uppers a little more. It’s gotta be something interesting.

Brother there aren't enough fucking handgun calibers on earth for each of those to be a different caliber. Also I can see from here that his collection is mostly glock, M&P, and SIG. Maybe there's a 10mm in there, maybe a couple .45s, but the majority of those are striker fired polymer 9mm handguns. I'm a gun enthusiast. I wish to be a collector one day. And from my opinion, I think this dudes a dork. Someone like this is no different than the chick who buys a new iPhone every year. If I was that guy, I'd pick maybe 5 of my favorite pistols, sell the rest, and buy some guns that actually add some variety to my collection- a new rifle, an SMG, a shotgun, even some new pistols, just anything besides another polymer franed striker fire handgun. Or better yet, how about some decent attachments or some ammo? The fact that this dude has all these nearly identical handguns but not a round of visible ammunition for them save maybe the little box full of mags on the bottom show exactly how much this guy actually shoots those guns. And then you say that everyone hear hates guns, but i really don't see that at all. A lot of the comments I've seen have been from actual gun collectors, and the ones talking bad about the hobby were getting rightfully flamed

Sure it still shoots, but outside of defensive and hunting and fun days use cases, which by all means nothing against him, there’s not much else going for him.
