I can certainly understand not shooting rare, expensive, or hard to repair guns. I had an "orthopedic episode" for a couple of months recently where I didn't feel like shooting, or much of anything else. When I got better I looked at a couple of guns I rarely shoot, thought "who am I saving them for", and took them to the range and had a great time.
Everybody's different, and other people opinions are just as valid as mine. For me, guns aren't investments, and I think my son would rather have a guns I used. Could be wrong, won't be my problem.  |
That presentation grade isn't particularly rare or valuable, Colt made a batch of them at the time (mine's 0059). My only reason for not shooting it has been because I don't need to. Same reason I don't shoot my old GI Colts or my old Super. I have modern versions of both that cost less and do the same thing for me.
Maybe some day I'll decide to take it out for a spin. Maybe I'll die tomorrow. If that's the case, I doubt my last thought will be "I sure regret not shooting that pg."
If I still have it or any of the others when its time to pass them on, my children will appreciate them fired or not.
