Gun, Caliber or maybe Romantic

An example: I now cycle between 50-75 miles a week and prefer to carry. Yes, I can carry my Glock 19, but it's too bulky. Yes, I can carry my Colt Mustang Plus II, but it's steel and I sweat. And so..... a small 9mm polymer will work well. In the office or about town, I'll just carry my DW CCO, and that works fine.

One caveat here: When it comes to Ruger 10-22's, I'll buy another one anytime, and in a New York minute. I've already got three too many if there is such a thing. There is just something about that little 22 platform that I enjoy shooting.

My 10-22 take down is never going to be sold, what a great rifle they are.

Let me just leave this right here, I wrote it out.

I'm not tied to a particular platform or caliber. Sometimes the mechanics of a gun interests me. Some guns are just sexy and I want to own one even if it's a POS. I like some platforms because they are super reliable. I absolutely love accurate guns with really light triggers. I like the impractical, to small, to big, to powerfull...
