"Is collecting shooters shameful? Heresy? Worthy of excommunication, shunning, stoning etc...."

No!! Not at all!! A collection is a very personal thing. I myself have always been a shooter until recently when the world of "collecting guns" opened through this forum. Now I have both, my collectible will not be shot as long as I own it, while my shooter (P38) goes to the range. One shooter is enough for sure unless one wants to experiment with different calibers, (I have my eye on a Swiss 7.65 mm), barrel lengths, or guns other than Lugers.

Collections, IMO, are for personal enjoyment, for opening new relationships with other similarly minded people, and for passing the interest to our kids- either at the range, or in the "gunroom."
