    I own two Beretta 92FS pistols (full size) and three Glock 19 GEN3 pistols (soon to own a fourth - had the high bid on one this morning). I don't think I have any other firearms for which I have more than one of the exact same model. I come close with two shotguns, but close only counts in horseshoes and nuclear weapons. Those other two are both Remington 870 Express shotguns but one has a 3" chamber, the other has a 2.75" chamber; so technically, they are not the same exact model. Same thing more or less as with the 870s for a couple of Ruger Mark II pistols I own but they have different barrel lengths.
    Serious question and there is probably a good answer, but why do you own 4 identical glocks? What's the advantage?

    In the early 90's my dad bought a pair of 9422's. We would walk the prairie dog fields together, him with one and me with the other. Many memories were made. I took his example to heart and have made multiple purchases of the same firearm for similar reasons. Over time I have divested myself from most of them but some still remain. They are typically heirloom quality guns with a few milsurps thrown in. Can't have too many milsurps.

    From another viewpoint, I've known several people who had three identical guns for competition. Pistol silhouette shooters who chose the S&W Model 29 and shotgun competitors who chose the Remington 1100 tended to need three - one to shoot, one as a spare, and one at the gunsmith being repaired. They just constantly rotated between the three.

    Tyler "suburbs"... :)
    No-identical dupes...

    I DO have a Ruger PC Charger and a Ruger PC carbine, only one has a binary trigger though...
    Sold the OG PC Carbine to get the PC Charger, but missed the Carbine, so got the newer model Carbine with the Tacticool shroud, as that is all that is avail at my local shop, but wanted the Plastic Handguard of the OG, however the Tacticool shroud has a NICE Red Dot mount point just FW of the Take-down split, so it stays aligned with the barrel.

    I DO have a Ruger Hunter Model 40177 5.5" in Blued, and a Ruger Hunter Model 40118 6.88" in Stainless, but I don't think that counts...
    Wife has a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite.

    I sold a Mark III and Mark III 22/45 to upgrade to the Mark 4 series in both, and ALWAYS wanted a Hunter...
    Got the 40177, then FINALLY after the panic slowed, they had the one I wanted, the 40118, and although the 40177 was GREAT, I wanted the 40118, so I got the longer barrel stainless when it was avail.
    I'll probably give the 40177 to my son, or daughter...

    I do have a GP-100 in .357 Mag, BUT I do want a Ruger GP-100 in .22lr and one of the 7-Shot GP-100's in .357 Mag, but again those are different models and I don't want to pay full-retail for the 2 afore mentioned, BUT if I find a used though... I'll just bite the bullet.

    Wife's got a Ruger American in .308, and I want one too... I've got a PS-90, and the Wife wants one for a "his and her's"
    I think that would be when it would really count in this thread... :D
