Collecting Shooters Shameful? Opinion/poll

Davidjayuden,
Would love to find that "deal of a lifetime" collector piece, but doubt very much it will ever happen. I just don't seem to have that kind of luck. I now know enough (I think) to not to get taken.

IMHO finding that deal of a lifetime is not a matter of luck but one of hard work, networking and always being on the hunt. Luck = preparation meeting opportunity. Of all my Lugers, none fell in my lap (OK, maybe one), I had to hunt them all down.

As for how many shooter Lugers is enough, I have a nice 4" 9mm, an Artillery and a Navy, all of which I shoot regularly. That satisfies my Luger lust at the range, and any extra money goes into Nambu's, P-38's, Lahtis, Webleys, old 1911's, and a few later S&W's.
