Depends on what you want to do: collect, sport shoot, hunt.
However, for self-defense, you should have four copies of each pistol you carry. 1 to carry, 1 in the safe, 1 at the gunsmith, 1 off your property. You may want to get a “training pistol”, 1 copy for gun skul.
I’ve always despised the “need” question. More often than not, it’s asked by anti-gun types as a dishonest, underhanded and cowardly way to say “you’re a paranoid freak”.
Even worse, if you answer the question, then you’re acknowledging their view that “need” is a legitimate criteria for limiting the number of firearms that you can own. Then it becomes a question of determining the quantity, and more importantly, a question of WHO DECIDES what the correct quantity is. You can bet that the gun grabbers are absolutely certain that the individual citizen isn’t competent to make that decision. We know better.

I only know that I haven’t bought my last one yet.

As many as I can afford to feed. Plus backups. And loaners, for spares, in case the backup is busy.
Is that enough?

Not that it’s anyone else’s steeenking business, but; as many as you damned well want to buy and/or build.

I’m inclined to say it’s called the “bill of rights” not the “bill of needs”.
It’s the ammo that I always need more of, handgun and rifle.
