I'm not dismissing it, series guy, I'm just not a shooter. I collect guns that I am drawn to. If a gun isn't sexy, I'm not interested. I have shooter/self-defense guns that I practice with but they only make up a small part of my accumulation. I like wood, cased colors, nickel, engraving, etc. This is a nice gun with its functional modifications, but it just doesn't make my mouth water. This is a conversation I've had with a lot of my local collector friends. I'll pick up a high condition antique firearm and the first thing they want to do is shoot it!
