I've had a thing for handguns ever since I can remember, I guess it's the cowboy in me which is why I stick with my single actions. I get the itch now and again for Contenders and when it's scratched I sell them and buy more single actions or parts and tooling to convert them. Since my numerous surgeries I've also really come to appreciate not have to lug around a 8 to 10 pound rifle and it gives me more of a sense of accomplishment to use a handgun over a rifle.
