Collector grade question

I think it's nice to have an opinion and to feel strongly about something. But calling people stupid is taking it a little far.
I got into collecting because I like guns and I like to shoot them. I always wanted a Luger and now have my first one. I love it and it shoots great but the finish is below collector grade though all matching numbers. So you will be happy it is a shooter.
When I found my P38 I was looking for a shooter and accidentally bought a nice collector piece for $450 and I am shooting it. I had no idea it is actually a desirable gun for collecting. I am careful with it, keep it perfectly maintained and I am going to shoot it.
I will be buying more Lugers. I will shoot them all. I doubt I will buy any for more than a few thousand. But like with my P38 I might get lucky and find a good one.
Next on my list are a wartime 1911 and a Walther PP. Yup, gonna shoot them.
I guess I am a moron. But a happy one...
