Who here don't care about rifles much?

>>34291530
I am pretty much the other way around. I understand that there is a handyness to a pistol and that it will be what I most likely use if I need it, but I don't buy guns for self defense. I buy my guns for historical significance, mechanical fascination and to a lesser degree, marksmanship.

My engineering mind gets all fired up for how a gun works and what makes it tick. Pistols tend to be simpler and less in a historical sense. Except for the P-08, P-38, or Nambu, pistols have very rarely sparked my interest.

i owned a colt ar15a2 awhile back but regretted it, hassle to go shooting, what the hell do i need it for etc, then sold it

I enjoy pistols a bit more than rifles due to the challenge in using them accurately. I also find their various types of mechanisms fascinating. However I also enjoy the boom of shooting 54r and .06 rifles.

>does anyone else share this sentiment
Yep
I just find pistols sexier and more fun to shoot. They also take less time to clean and I don't need a fuck huge safe for all of them. I'll stil probably buy a mossman shotty for home defense though.

I only have a small poorfag collection, but I like pistols more as well.

I like shooting .22lr rifles but that's about it. I keep an AR-15 just in case, but in truth I rarely shoot it and plan on getting the conversion kit for it later on. Conversely I absolutely hate shooting .22lr out of pistols.

I enjoy all of the above, though I'm into rifles right now. To each his own.

I've grown to appreciate pistols more now that the rifle market has been saturated with AR/AK clones.

In fact, my last three gun purchases were pistols.

They are vastly superior in every way except portability so if you need to shoot something you want the "too easy" option. For everything else, whatever. I like pistols too.

I agree, and that's what fascinates me with pistols - portability. Regardless of my affinity for pistols though, I wouldn't choose one if I knew something was about to go down. My 870 is my first line of defense if available but my G42 is my constant companion, always there for the unexpected. There's something about that which I truly revere.

i'm the opposite. i love my semi rifles, and i like pistols. i don't give a single fuck about shotguns.

>implying the market isn't flooded with polymer pistols

I used to be the same way. Thought the ar15 looked uncomfortable with all the sharp edges.
That is until I started building my own ar. Then I was enamored.
Still love my pistols though.

Pistol + AR for me but my next purchase will be a bolt gun in 6.5 Creedmore

Rifles are as diverse and interesting as pistols. It's just that the market these days is mostly occupied by a couple different models and variation of those. That's one of the major draws for surplus and antique rifle collectors. If it were fifty or sixty years ago you'd probably be saying the same thing about pistols and praising rifles for being more intriguing.
