Many years ago when I was a cop I was into competitive pistol shooting. I had collected S&W revolvers in .44 Mag, .41Mag, .357Mag in all barrel lengths in both stainless and blued. I never shot them, except for a 6" blued .44 Mag which I got when I was in AK. I had it Mag-Na-Ported and fitted for a scope and used it for caribou hunting. The rest were all new, in their original packaging with all paperwork and accessories.
Then my son got old enough to own a handgun and slowly but surely they all seemed to make the transition from my safe to their house. I finally suggested he take my large gun safe to his house since he had the majority of my rifles, shotguns and handguns. He did, and I bought a smaller, 12 gun safe in which I keep a couple of handguns, a couple of shotguns and one rifle.
Now, I collect Swarovski Christmas ornaments. I have 24 of them, the oldest is a 1991, then I skipped a few years and have them consecutively from about 1997 through this year. Not as much fun to collect as a bunch of handguns, but getting to be a pretty nice bunch to hang on the tree. I'm also adding every year to a separate collection that are still in the original box, never opened and never displayed. Those are going to be for sale one of these days.
So, what do you collect?
