To Shoot or Not to Shoot

[BlueLineFish 615]

Regardless of how little I actually do shoot I am contemplating buying these two revolvers. Would you shot them and risk devaluing them with a turn ring or do you think being new guns the value will never really be there where it will make a difference?

If I can't shoot them, I don't want them. Decided not to be a collector in that capacity long ago. Sold all my collectibles. Only want guns I won't feel guilty popping rounds.

What good does it do collecting dust? Shoot it!

Guns are for shooting.  I think a gun that's built to sit in a display case is a waste of metal.  JMHO

what bhunted said. it's why I haven't pulled the trigger (heh) on a Beretta yet. all the 92G Elite II's are too damn expensive to shoot, since they're so rare. But I'm not a no-shoot'em kind of guy. Guns are meant to be shot, like cars are meant to be driven. otherwise, what's the point.

You should shoot them and get some carbon on them to cover up the girly-swirlies on the frames. Those things look like Aunt Matilda's Easter dress.

I don't know much about the Smith.

But the SP101 is machine engraved and not much of a collectable. There are always a few on gunbroker, etc and they only command a few dollars more than standard SPs (smaller than the difference in MSRP).

Ruger collectors are usually more interested in odd calibers (9mm, 32 H&R, .327) or service guns, like the SPNY issued to NYPD.

There's also a rarer Talo SP with gold accents (limited run of 600) that those guys drool over.

 

That said, they also don't seem to mind if the gun's been fired, so long as it's not beat up. Having the original box and papers is the bigger deal.

Ok...if I do wind up with them I wont feel guilty about shooting them

It ain't gonna shoot itself.

It ain't gonna shoot itself.

Say what? I thought all guns are always at risk of just "going off". That's why they're bad.

Is this a trick question? 

[bry@n 195]

[DC-Sportsman 0]

Ive shot both.. Go with the sp101 and shoot it till the wheels fall off..

if i cant shoot it i don't want it. even if i ever get a rare piece i'll still shoot it if its safe. otherwise, whats the point.
