I voted for a new gun because:

"I'm just a peckerhead who lives in the hills with too many guns"
NOT!

Truth is, as I get older... I am willing to hold out for eactly what I want, and have no problem buying used or new....or even refinishing... as long as its what I want.

When I find a new one I want I sell or trade an older one. Its called new fun with old money. I sold three this year and traded three others aaannnndddd I have replaced all six already without spending any new money other than transfer fees and background checks on the first five. The sixth is still on me as I haven't decided what I will part with yet to pay for it. Possibly one of the new. I know I like the way they look but they do not stay unless they shoot better than I do. I am a crow. I like shiny new objects that are superior performers. Dennis

I've two "project guns" as such. The rest I planned to keep stock, but ended up changing out things on most. The Sig Ultra (see animated GIF below) was perfection just like they made it. No urge whatsoever to change anything.

So, "All of the above" ?

I don't really know how to answer...
