Me too. A guy I know found out I was into handguns, and told me that he wanted to go out & buy a Beretta Nano, a S&W Shield, and some sort of Glock. I don't kow where the idea for the Glock came from, but the Nano & Shield had just gotten write-ups in American Rifleman so I figure that's where he came up with those. Anyway, when I asked if these were for range use, carry use, and/or home defense, he told me they would be "investments". I told him that in my opinion those plastic whizbang guns were probably great shooters but they'd never gain value as collector's items, and that he'd be better off to invest in an older python or model 29 or better yet some mutual funds.
