It's a case of "DunRanull's Law"- 'If one is good, THREE is mo bettah'..... hardly a 'waste'....
When it comes down to it, what is your "go to" EDC?

I agree. The guns I mentioned are the same, but I have purchased multiples of the same gun. If it's something I really like, I might buy multiples of the same gun or variation of the same gun.
Me and @The Night Rider go back stemming from other forums. He enjoys finding something/anything to be argumentive or troll over whenever he sees me post. Don't take what he says too seriously when it's directed to me.

At the same time? I gotta sit down.Yes, a gun is supposed to be a thing of beauty.
I guess its subjective and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, cause folks buy Hi-Points and Buicks as well

Have you ever noticed that when you say something along the lines of I have five VP9s people tend to look at you like you might have a screw loose, but when you say I’ve got 5 1911s they typically smile and say “Sweet”.

Tp be fair, I kind of was seriously asking that question.
I don't know how much of what I write you actually read but I've said multiple times on multiple forms that I am a minimalist and the older I get the more of a minimalist I become.
I don't collect guns like you do. I own less than 10. Rather than accumulate more guns I want to put that money into ammunition magazines accessories and the like.
For instance, if I already own an M&P Shield I'm not buying a Glock 26.
TBH I don't know about having a screwless but I think both of them are wasting money

A Shield and a Glock aren't the same gun. At least not to me they aren't.
I understand even if I don't necessarily agree with your point about multiples being a waste, but that's coming purely from a what you need POV. If I was concerned simply with as much utilitarianism as possible from a survival/defensive POV I would agree with you. My interest in guns is more than that though, as are a lot of people's. Range, competition, just plain fun, collectability, etc...
I will say that since I got the Masada S and the VP9SK I haven't carried a Shield, which on at least one hand validates your point.

It was when i was young too, but that's been about 200 years ago it seems. lol but still wouldn't consider a 5.56 big but i was givin him a rough time for tellin that other feller he wasted his money buying the same gun more than once. but now i count 5 canteens in that picture. 5 now i ain't gonna tell anyone they got too many guns of the same when i have a slew of canteens all the same. besides i'll take 5 1911's 0r 5 VP9's over 5 canteens anyday.

The cover the same space. At least to me they do.
I wouldn't own a Shield and a shield plus either

5 glock 19s doesn't give you anything 1 Glock 19 and 4 magazines doesn't.
Is this big enough for you
