On the other hand, anyone that shoots a "collector" makes mine worth more,
And a newer gun, such as the above Navy, I can't blame somebody wanting to shoot it. Besides on the other thread of the Thompson, that is what? A $12,000 weapon? All perspective, but I have my father in laws 2nd generation SSA, and I'd like to shoot it, but its really pristine, like 98% untouched. So I won't ever even consider shooting it.
