It's happening!!!
« on: June 29, 2011, 02:00:37 PM »
earlier this year I ordered a .357 Handi and have really enjoyed it.  Today I called the loacal gun shop and told the owner to get me a .22 Hornet Handi.  Is there a cure for Handi Addiction or do you just end up buying another one and then another one?  When I got back into shooting I didn't intend to buy any rifles since I'm a handgun shooter but these doggone Handis are just so much fun.

Pretty soon you'll have several Handi's, a few extra barrels laying around, 5 or 6 extra variations of stock sets, and 4 extra frames.  :o

Oh wait, that's me.  ;D

I came to realize that I had a problem when in the middle of the night I would role over and couldnt get back to sleep because I was sitting there wondering what caliber to get next. Or what scope to put on a certain rifle. or should I try a different stock. I hate when that happens makes for a tired next day at work.

You will begin trading, then you will never get it "worked out even".  Either you will have an extra frame, or stock or barrel, so you will buy one more good deal to get the frame.  Of course you will sell the barrel and stock...or not.  Then you've got a spare barrel...still so you need a frame.  There is no end. ;D

I'm lucky. They only have one of the calibers I want. This will be a one time thing for me.
