I'm contemplating selling a few guns to make room for some new and exciting toys.
Short list of things to go:
1- 150 prefix Ruger Security Six- I have two of these, and the shorter barrel one just doesn't see much use.
2- Kel-tec P11. Great gun! I have nothing against it, other than I rarely carry it. I find when I go for a small gun, I prefer my J-frame Smith. The rest of the time, I prefer a larger 45 auto or 4inch 38spl.
3- Colt LW Commander 1911. I lusted after this gun for a while- but once I got it, and then an officers model- it splits the baby too much for my taste. It isn't as forgiving as shooting a Government size for accuracy, nor is it as comfortable as an officers size for carry.
All are good guns, and really I have nothing against any of them- They just aren't getting the amount of use I think they deserve, nor are they giving me the satisfaction I demand in a piece that is going to be in my collection for the long term.
I know some people say 'never sell a gun' but frankly, I've bought and sold many- and I have yet to regret it. My collection will never be without a 1911 style gun, or a Ruger SS for that matter, however- the redundancy and variation in these models is just not what I want right now.
I'll probably get the slide refinished on the Colt before I put it up on the block, as it is a little rough right now and I don't feel comfortable letting it go as is. Once that is sorted though- I'll be moving it right along.
