Contrary to what some people are saying I think that pistols that are not collectile are not necessarily shooters.

My 2 cents.

Totally agree. And also add that a shooter grade should preferably be a late Mauser.
But that's mainly because I use them in competition and practice, so they get to shoot a lot.
