I've reached the point where I now buy a gun based on my personal need, rather than a platform. I think we all go through "Platform fatigue" buying several sizes and calibers of a platform we like. And eventually... most of us will offload the ones we don't shoot.
An example: I now cycle between 50-75 miles a week and prefer to carry. Yes, I can carry my Glock 19, but it's too bulky. Yes, I can carry my Colt Mustang Plus II, but it's steel and I sweat. And so..... a small 9mm polymer will work well. In the office or about town, I'll just carry my DW CCO, and that works fine.
One caveat here: When it comes to Ruger 10-22's, I'll buy another one anytime, and in a New York minute. I've already got three too many if there is such a thing. There is just something about that little 22 platform that I enjoy shooting.
