Had a nice Beretta 25 once. Sold it, no interest at that time. With this gun collecting I sometimes think I should be committed. Wife might agree. Bill

Bill, I am frequently surprised that of all the weapons [rifles, shotgun (just one), and handguns] I own, most have never been shot [by me]...

Some are brand new, some decades/a hundred years old...All made shootable [thanks Alvin & LugerDoc!] and although I have a pistol range right across the street, i rarely find the 'spare time' to shoot anymore...

Anyone remember Barry Sadler, the Green Beret that wrote and sang the ballads. The same Gent that cast too much sunshine on folks that work in the shadows. IIRC, he met his demise at the wrong end of a 25 acp in some rundown bar for expats in Central America. One of his serving peers once told me how effective the little, subtle 25 acp is when whispering in someones ear.
