Affliction

[U.P. Perfect]

I bought my first SW revolver some 3-4 years ago and have recently completed this display in my home office. Couldn't bear to lock up something this gorgeous in a safe. The problem is, I can't quit smiling whenever I look at it.

My wife does not understand. I tell her "they are three perfect model 30-1 Smith and Wesson nickel plated revolvers, are they not beautiful, a work of art?" She just does not understand.

Any support out there?

Beautiful! It speaks for itself, doesn't need explaining.

I would harden the door and door frame and windows to that room at any cost if it allows you to remove those abominable trigger locks. Those are horrifying.

You have my support. I too am a connoisseur of art. Art in steel and
leather.

I like that display and the camera too!

I like it, is the one on the left a Lyman plains pistol?

They always say, art is in the eye of the beholder (or was that beauty?). Either way, it's magnificent! (I agree about getting rid of the locks, even if I had to buy unbreakable glass and a lock)

Your wife will learn to enjoy it.

The next time your wife starts to explain why she has 9 pairs of black shoes, you can just point to that.

As long as she let's you buy them.. No worries...

 

[Dan Carey]

My wife doesn't understand either..."But, they all look the same."

Explain to her that shoes and purses only depreciate in value....good guns almost always appreciate in value.

No doubt, you've heard the "Why do you need more than one?" question.
Many of us have.

It's not an affliction.....It's a blessing.

We have an understanding at our house. I don't comment on her clothes and shoes except to say how nice they look and she tells me how pretty every gun I come in with looks even though she could care less.

U.P. Perfect, you waited a year and 10 months for your first post? But what a way to make an entrance!
