Collecting Shooters Shameful? Opinion/poll

4 Scale,
"Problem for me is, although I bought it as a shooter I'm finding myself reluctant to shoot it because of all the matching parts."

Your story is very similar to mine.. I originally bought my collectible (1917 DWM) to shoot. So to resolve the dilemma ( decided to retire it) I looked for and found a good shooter (reblued matching 1918 DWM). At the end of the day, we all can weigh the arguments and positions of others, but we each have to make our own decision.

Yours is a very nice gun !! You're right. It IS difficult to figure out this shooter thing.

Keep looking for that special 1906 .30 Luger shooter. You'll find it. I'm still thinking about that Swiss 7,65 mm... the seller comes back from vacation next week.
