Non shooters.........list yours

[Dregg]

Ok, we all know guns were meant to be fired but....we all probably have a few tucked away in the back of the safe that will probably never see any "action".

List the ones you own that may never be fired by you.

Here's my list:
Colt 1911 1937 vintage
Colt Custom Cobra 6"
Colt Custom Cobra 4"
Mauser M1914
S&W 24 Lew Horton
S&W 624 Lew Horton
S&W 4" 29-2
S&W 27-3 50th Anniversary Edition
S&W 10-5
Sig Sauer P-245

There it is, 10 firearms I may never shoot. 6 of them have never been fired. 4 were fired very very little.

 

[625smith]

None. I shoot them all. Even this one!

 

[Arik]

I have one but only because i havnt had time to hit the rifle range. Otherwise if i buy it its getting shot, as soon as possible, as often as possible

I have one. My father was a sailor in the Navy. In fact, he was at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked by the Japs. He brought home from the war one Japanese carbine, with a fold-out bayonet. The original owner must have parted with it suddenly, as the standard Japanese practice after the war was to X-out the chrysanthimum (sp) since that was the symbol of the Emperor. The flower is intact on this rifle. He, and my brothers and I, shot it a few times when we were kids, but I don't think it has been fired in about fifty years. It's mine now. It has a place of honor in the rifle rack, but will never be fired again.

Other than that one, I buy guns for shooting and stocks for investments.

 

[RobertJ.]

I have a .70 caliber flintlock pistol hanging on the wall that's never even been loaded. The rest all go to the range.

Non shooters.........list yours

I know where you're coming from and I've had some unfired NIB models that I felt that way about, but currently if it's safe to fire, I'll shoot it.
I'm too poor to be a collector (of collector grade) and lifes's too short not to fire the rest of them.
Most of the shooting I do these days involves kids and g-kids (with them, not at them)
Therefore some I don't shoot on a regular basis but wouldn't hesitate to when the mood hits me.

 

[Nframecollector]

I shoot them all! The only one I haven't shot yet is a 1922 Hex receiver dragoon Mosin Nagant. I just reassembled it after buying it yesterday and stripping it down and cleaning it. If I don't shoot it today I will shoot it tomorrow.

 

[DonD]

Personally, there are only two categories of guns that I would not shoot, those that are intrinsically very valuable and which will decrease in value if shot and those that are a safety concern like the poster commenting on Damascus barrels.

I have nothing I don't shoot. I have a Beretta AL391 I don't shoot much because I am a lousy shotgunner and two back surgeries tell me rapid twisting isn't a great idea.

No offense intended toward those who keep safe queens, any true gun enthusiast can enjoy just owning guns and looking at/admiring them. Don

 

[pharmer]

Unshot: a 2" DAO NY-1 64-4, a 642-1 that is a duplicate, a Colt 6920 because I have an AR in the exact same configuration, a Beretta 12 ga because I have a few other 12 ga. that get shot and a brand new 5906 because I just never get around to shooting it and have other 9mm's. That's about it. Joe

 

[stantheman86]

Only one, a minty in box 60's era 3" pinned Model 36 no dash square butt. I have fired it, ran 5 through it when I got it but highly doubtful it will see any more. The last owner kept it as a "shop gun" in his store and hardly fired it. The rest of my guns get fired, some more than others but IMO J-frames aren't exactly range guns and I don't get the urge to fire my J's when I have a pile of k and n frames, as well as Rugers.

 

[PUPP86]

I have one. SW M-60 (1960's manufacture) that was my father's. I've shot it once since he passed. Cleaned it and put in the safe to pass on to my son.

 

[canvsbk]

They were built to be shot so I shoot 'em all.

 

[3Gunnah]

If I don't fire a gun every year I am looking to trade it for something I will shoot. This makes for a lot of shooting because I have a bunch of guns.

 

[IRONVIC52]

All my guns are shooters, but I do have one that's become a non-shooter by default. I took my SIG P-226 to the pit for some fun and on the first shot of the day, the trigger went limp-return spring snapped in two. I will probably send it to Sig for a complete spring replacement as it's an older one made in West Germany. Until then she's taking up space in the safe. Sig's offering a deal where all springs are replaced, gun stripped, deep cleaned and night sights installed for barely a little over the cost of just the sights themselves. It's an old police trade-in with much holster wear on the slide, so will also "spring" for refinishing the slide.

For me, a gun that isn't shot is taking up space. It's kinda like when my brother gave me a neat custom jackknife. It has beautiful file work-detail filigreed to perfection. He was shocked that it's my everyday carry knife, but it's well built, rugged and nice to look at enjoy as well. It been my pocket buddy for 20 years now and is like an old well-worn friend. All my guns are like that, too.

 

[shawn mccarver]

Everything gets shot. If I don't shoot it, why have it? I am not going to die and leave a pristine gun for someone who will not appreciate it! The few I have are going to be enjoyed.

 

[gtmtnbiker98]

None. I shoot all that I own and if I don't shoot them, I sell them and buy something that I will shoot.

 

[Retired W4]

Unfired Colt Government Model (Green label AR-15). I've got plenty of AR's to shoot.
Westley Richards 20 gauge Best Sidelock. Way too valuable for me to shoot.

Forgot about my 36-7, ingraved and inlayed for I.A.C.P (International Assoc. of Chiefs of Police). If I don't sell it soon it will be shot as well.
