Too Nice To Shoot?

[EddyT]

I have had several over the years that I just couldn't bring myself to shoot. Now days if I can't work it like a borrowed mule I sell it.

This has become my viewpoint over the years. If the thought of a finish blemish or holster wear on a particular weapon makes me wince even slightly, I sell it. YMMV

I don't shoot this one too often

Here is one I bought to shoot but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I thought to heck with it and sold it.View attachment 1311420

I still haven't shot it either. I do plan to in the near future. This was a birthday gift to myself. My 63rd Birthday in October. Thanks

I have some WWII guns I don't shoot due to condition. Some I do

I picked this up earlier this year. Didn't think I'd fire it. Took it out of the presentation case, went to the range two weeks ago and lit it up. It was beautiful.

No regrets.

Guns are meant to be shot. 'nuff said.

A lot of people have expressed this point of view. I wonder how many of you would be true to that belief if you had the gun below. You can buy it now on GunBroker.com for a mere $250,000. Of course after you shoot it, it maybe worth only $200,000 if you don't ding it. Personally I think a good stippling job would really put it over the edge.

Yes, I would still shoot it. To me, a gun is worthless if I couldn't use it for it's intended purpose. That means you got more money than sense. What's the point of buying a $1,000,000 hyper car like a Bugatti and not take it out for a drive? Car's are meant to be driven and guns are meant to be shot.

Too nice to shoot? Nope.

Too nice to carry, yeah, prolly.
