Jeannie -
A person might want a custom firearm as simply a way to express their own individuality or as a way to have something in a particular caliber that they might like, etc.
If a person acquires enough firearms, they are likely to eventually acquire something that is "different" or "unique" or custom made.
It's just a matter of personal preference. Sort of like writing a letter with a fountain pen or a ball point pen. Do I use black ink, or blue ink, etc., etc.
By the way, I lost my Dad in 2007 and I have all of his firearms too. They are nothing special, but they mean a lot to me and I will always take good care of them. So I know how you feel. All we can do is be thankful for whatever time we were able to spend with them.
