>have enough money to buy a new firearm >start window shopping

>>33610375
Like an adult. I buy the one I can and want the most. The rest I buy over time.

>>33610375
I buy 90% of my firearms used. If I see a deal that's too good to pass up, I buy it.

>not impulse buying various guns and anti-material and artillery weapons on credit that your kid's kids will still be paying off
it's like you aren't even trying

>>33610375
>>Make list
>>organize list in level of "Must Have"
>>Then start from the top and go down

Not a golden rule, because I find myself switching the priority list around a lot. But it helps in deciding what I want next.

>>33610428
FML, can't even greentext properly.

>>33610375
I have the opposite problem
>have enough money to buy a new firearm
>start window shopping
>nothing looks appealing

That's what I get for liking guns that are only both snowflake and convenient.

>>33610449
I'm the same fucking way with guitars. I end up just sticking with what I've had for years.

I go by necessity first,then fun. Does this purchase fulfill a job like ccw, home defense, hunting or trail gun, ect
if not, and I dont need one of those, then its a fun purchase. I look at whats the last fun purchase I bought and if its different enough so I dont buy the same things

im currently eyeing a p-38 walther just because fuck it I want one

Step one: Go to wherever looking for an SMLE (because it's always an SMLE)
Step two: Have no SMLE
Step three: leave with something else

>>33610375
so OP, whats in the top 5 for you?

>>33610375
I have bought, in this order:
>mauser m48
>cai NPAP
And i will buy next:
>XDs 9mm (or .45, i can't decide)
>cheapest single shot 12ga i can find

>>33610419
>animeposter
>kids
Almost got me.

>>33610395

You can have them all, just not at once.

I'll give you a run down of what I bought and why.

>second gat, SKS
It was $250 and I didn't know what the fuck to buy
>third gat, AK-74
$650, got it around 2012 back when 5.45 was piss off cheap
>fourth gat, AKM

>fifth gat, M&P-15
$500, was a good deal and I figured why not might as well buy american
>6th gat, Marlin 795
$175, overpaid but wanted a .22 that I didn't have to sink a bunch of money into
>7th gat, Sig P227
$300, used, retarded didn't know what he had, couldn't pass up
>8th gat, Star .45 1911ish clone
>$200 at a yard sale, another retard, another couldn't pass up
>9th gat, Hawk 12 gauge 870 clone
$180 I think, not sure, was drunk and trying to order another SKS
>10th gat, Glock 19
$560, wanted a glock
>11th gat, 20" AR
$400ish, wanted to build an AR, and wanted a carry handle 20" AR (childhood was Desert Storm) that I could potentially put a half decent scope on

buy a pocket pistol in 9mm, pretend to be james bond with it.

>>33610375
>how do you guys handle your next firearms purchases
I determine what I own, then decide if I have enough of them.
Then I determine how much value I would receive from the purchase compared to the proposed value of the item.
Then I determine whether the purchase is financially responsible or not.

Follow this order: ar15, ccp, 7.62 ak, 1911, ar10, 12g, beretta, 5.45 ak, second ar15, 10/22 or equivalent, 5.56 ak, garand, m1 carbine, make the rest of your purchases based on which common cartridges you don't have guns for yet, when you start getting into meme calibers like .243 and 300 blackout then you should start going for things like aug, mas49, mauser, etc.

>>33611071
mmm I recommend making a 5.45 AK higher on the list.

Perfect replacement for a Gucci AR-15, hard to modify configuration so it's always good-to-go, few options with bullet weight, ammo good to go.

16" barrel length, needs real tools to change. Comes with cleaning rod and cleaning kit, perfect peasant (poorfag) rifle all-around.

>>33611034
>economical
>bargain shopper
>knows what s/he likes
>9/10 solid advice

Then there's me......

first gat, desert eagle...1600 new
second gat, another desert eagle....1600 new
Third gat, sw500....1400 new
Fourth and fifth gat, ruger precision and p226.....2800 both new
Blah blah blah point is be smart don't do what I did.

Possibly the worst purchasing ive ever seen if you're not trolling.

>>33611236
damn son, here i thought I was being a dumb getting two four digit cost rifles in a row..

dual deagles are a neat experience I'm sure.
what did you get them in?

>>33611325
Not trolling... Don't get me wrong I love my guns but in retrospect probably memed a little to hard and had more money than I new what to do with at the time. So chalk one up to the young and dumb side.

>>33611380
Since I live in cali I had to by them in .44 then convert them to .50 they are a blast to dual wield and honestly I feel unstoppable when they are holstered in my drop downs. Its just a giddy feeling.

I make a list and try filling it.

One of my next purchases will be:
>the 1911 that I still don't have
>the .357 revolver that I still don't have
>the AK that I still don't have
>a better bolt action in .22lr

This is the most irresponsible, reckless, and borderline insane path to gun ownership I've ever heard of.

I don't mean that as an insult in any way but holy fuck man.

Come to the Cali meet you incredible retard.

>>33610375

I have a firearm picked out before hand. Then saving begins for tge next one

>>33610488
What's the wood gripped gun on top that looks like a p38 fucked a ppk?

I keep picking up strays.

Sucker for a good deal and I don't mind tinkering, so the majority of my guns are just old oddballs I got from my friendly local pawn shop.

I worked there about 6-7 months last year, that was the best/worst... Just about tripled my gun family in that time.

>>33613026
I-I don't know if I should....

I don't know if I should be offended with the title incredible retard or honoured. I'm mildly conflicted. What if the other kinds make fun of me, what if they laugh at me....

Honestly my collection isn't that great. only have 7 guns working on 8 9 and 10 now. Still a newfag when it comes to ar platforms...

>>33613070

>>33610375
I always evaluate my budget: this factors in the price of the gun, the ammo I will use most (cpr), availability of ammo, and just cool factor. I don't impulse buy things anymore because I have bills to pay now..

>>33611414
>>33611236

Don't listen to them. You are a magnificent beacon of freedom.

Don't let your memes be dreams.

I like my strategy of having no money sense and buying shit at random like a retard, regardless of how good the actual gun is.

>>33614816
Oh trust me I don't. One of the guns in my top 5 are the 45-70 bfr... The memeing will live on forever within. Trust me if they ever put a 50 bmg pistol into production, you can bet your sweet ass ill own one. I already want that .950jdj and a m107a1 trust me it will never stop like Mr bones wild ride

>>33610935
>cai NPAP
Zastava NPAP

What do you need a gun for? Your needs determine what is best.

Guys I keep running into great deals on guns on my list, even if they're not next up. I can't help but buy them.

How do I stop getting pulled in by the dealios?
Especially for guns no longer in production, I always feel like I'll be kicking myself if I don't go in on them now.

>>33614986
>make a smaller list

just kidding, you're fucked...all you can do is try to enjoy the experience

>>33614836
Thank you for describing me to a T.
See >>33611236

Which I feel was directed at me anyway

>>33610375
It's easy when you barely have enough money to feed your guns, let alone get another one.

>>33610891
currently only have an M&P shield 9mm for ccw and a model 19 smith and wesson for the range.
Im more of a pistol guy so something preferably in DA/SA and in .45 just to mix it up with calibers and action.
But then I think it might be smarter to get something in a caliber I already own
and then I think I do need a rifle or shotgun at some point


and here I am

>>33615064
It actually wasn't directed at you, and you buy the high dollar stuff it seems like, which is at least sort of cool if you ask me.

I just buy or want to buy lots of cheap older guns I find at pawn shops, since my list is from the late 1980s at first glance.

>>33610375

Cartridge first, then action type, then how easy it is to mount accessories/optics and the ease of getting after market parts

>>33610375
IMPULSE BUY
really, its what i do.

>>33615171
Ah good stuff! Then it seems we have a similar thought process. Like old guns too, just not my niche atm.

>>33615129
>M&P shield 9mm for ccw and a model 19 smith and wesson for the range
Nice!

How about that M19, anon? Do you mostly shoot .38s or magnums?

One of my most scandalous impulse buys was a poor bedraggled Model 10 that called out to me when I came in to pick up a layaway.

K-frame love, baybay

>>33615844
mainly .38s, I have some .357 loads for fun and it doubles as a bed side gun

I originally wanted a model 10 but they had none so I looked at the magnums

117KB, 549x718px

honestly about 90-95% of my purchases are wild impulse buys that I then shape into something practical so I dont feel so guilty about it

the only things I bought with a plan in mind were my glock 19 and mossenburg shotgun. everything else is either impulsive or slightly ridiculous

>>33614727
my dude you'll be fine haha. Also it took me years to earn that same title, it is an honor. If it makes you feel better, there are still a lot of no guns that show up so you already have a ton of experience.

If you come rocking dub eagles no ones gonna say anything other than "wow those are really fucking cool".

>Honestly my collection isn't that great. only have 7 guns working on 8 9 and 10 now. Still a newfag when it comes to ar platforms...

Could care less my dude. Come have fun at arkadia too.
