In one of my clubs there is a lady who has been the chief Range Officer for bullseye shooting events. At one Wednesday night .22 league match, before the match actually commenced, she mentioned that she had 20 handguns. Everybody at the firing line, in perfect unison, exclaimed, "ONLY 20?"
I hear you. I'm 80 and have been an avid shooter collector all my life. I have downsized a couple of times, sometimes only to regret it. I have a daughter and son in law who really don't care for guns. My grandson would shoot some with me when he would visit in the summer, but his interest is just casual. My son likes guns, but nothing on the level that I have. I try not to worry too much about my collection now. I know that my son will keep what he wants and he has friends who will help him sell the rest.
I have no use for an auto sear as I can hardly afford ammo as it is. In my retirement job they had at least one 870P w/14” bbl and after firing it at the Range I really didn’t care for it. Too many years carrying 18” bbl Riot Guns I guess.
I’m going to gift the milsurps representing what me/grandpa/great-grandpa carried to the next generation of our family, all are very young now. The other milsurps will eventually either get sold or gifted to people I know, or perhaps to a soldier in my little sisters command eventually…I’ll have to ask.
That's pretty much where I'm at too. Except that I haven't started selling anything (yet).
