Opinions on this shooter?

I agree with you that we need not send poor messages to new collectors.
So what kind of message do we send to a shooter? To me its (Get in and out as cheap as possible and still get reliability and resale value)

Two different situations completely. Two different purposes. Two different thought processes.

As a collector and shooter I look at things even a 3rd way. I don't buy shooters that are not all matching, because I know that even if I refinish the gun there are a new breed of collectors who will jump at the chance to buy an all matching pretty gun. I edge my bets, to make sure I get most of my money back when I decide to sale.

So, I am still waiting for someone to post the all matching $500 shooter, with great grips, strong bluing and nice straw

I am just pulling your leg John, honestly I am not disagreeing with you. Was your first luger an all matching gun?

I noticed the same thing. Interesting that he is looking at guns with similar mismatches.
