[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 1975425, member: 13624"] Are you reluctant to use a new screwdriver? Guns are art, I'll grant you, but they're functional art: their beauty is in their purpose. To lock them away in a safe is to deny them their essence. I've a Colt Combat Commander tuned by no less than Jim Clark, Sr., with papers to prove. The trigger is [I]perfect[/I], like the proverbial glass rod: if you don't cream your jeans shooting the thing, you're no shooter. What do I do with it? I stick it in a holster and take it to the range. I've knocked the bluing off of the sharp corners, and there might even be an idiot scratch on it. I've also won matches with it. Would I trade the worn bluing for the thrill of making her dance? [I]Hell[/I] no. Call it "performance art," but damn if she doesn't perform. A gun is a shooting instrument. A hunk of steel in the safe is...a hunk of steel. (But, as with all art, do what makes you happy.) [/QUOTE]
