When I was younger/didn’t own as many guns, I definitely believed in the principle that if I owned it I must shoot it. Or I must at least own ammo for it. Now I’m much more ambivalent. It’s easy to take something chambered in a common cartridge out for a little exercise, but I’m not likely to have any mind-blowing revelation or superlative, amazing shooting experience from a 100 year old pistol that’s been functionally obsolescent since 1945, for which I’ll have to procure brass, projectiles, dies….. and then the thought of how if I break a part (not uncommon on old guns that weren’t so robust compared to modern designs anyhow) it will require time to make right, cost money, and still devalue my gun significantly… for the most part, when it comes to surplus handguns I stick with the 9mm and the 32s on range day.
