One nice gun vs many "cheaper" guns

[STI]

A 1911 is an excellent EDC and when properly maintained I will trust it with my life every day for SD. However, my SHTF sidearm is a Glock because in that situation being able to do proper cleaning and care is a serious question. It's also set up to be primarily a 9mm, but can also us 40S&W. Why do I use a 45 for SD, but 9mm for SHTF? Because there is a big difference between SD and a firefight. In SD the first few rounds almost always determine the outcome, so I want a powerful round. In a firefight, capacity of the weapon is much more important, so I use a high cap. This also means that between the two weapons I can use any one of the three most popular handgun rounds. Different weapons for different jobs based on objective logic.

damn....your a master carry guy. Bet you keep Mustangs in your boots.

I didnt vote because I don't think its relative. If you mean to say would I rather have 1 Noveske or LMT vs a Colt and a DD then I'll take the cheaper route but I also don't consider the Colt and the DD to be "OK" guns. Same with 1 Wilson Combat vs a Colt and a Kimber. Give me the two guns because instead of having one 5" safe queen or a 4" carry gun I can have both. I am a collector in that I want a bunch of different guns, not necessarily the best of each.

Well said.....and

IF I had any guns I'm sure I would have 7 handguns, 3 shotguns, 3 rifles, a SBR and a couple of suppressors.

That, plus a well trained sexy female trainee.

Next time at the range or in the woods. I'd let you shoot it, but it will probably jam.

I dunno, it's not a Kimber so I do have hope for it!

Many, many, many, cheap guns so that I can just throw them down and don't have to reload... Of course, I would prefer many, many, many expensive guns, but who can afford that

OK, I get it. You are only making yourself look bad. That works.

As one 1911 fan to another, I guarantee I can get any of your 1911s to malfunction sooner that any Glock. The argument that a 1911 is as reliable as a Glock is settled. It's not. Is a 1911 reliable enough when properly cared for? Sure it is. But that's not the point that sinac84 is making.

Great minds think alike Bear!

I've been meaning to change that sig line. LOL

I'll also add that I will only buy quality firearms, maybe even shying away from certain guns on name only but again not going to spend $2000-$2500 on 1 gun unless I have everything else I wanted.

Well someone has to be the site Head Banger.
Grow with it, buy one of the "Wildly" over priced listed Kimbers. Rest it on a fence post or lean back on a sturdy river birch. If you drop it in the river, walk away and write it off as a life altering event.
