I've read several comments over the past months by some folks who own a gun that's out of favor, isn't as accurate as they want, or the quality is substandard or has some other problem, and they'll say "Now it just stays in the safe and never gets shot."
I'm not sure I understand why this happens. I'm not being critical...just genuinely don't understand. Have you guys not had time to sell it? Or send it in for warranty? Or you're saving up to pay a gunsmith? Maybe you just have an aversion to getting rid of guns. I'm kind of that way (now).
But I have a greater aversion to having guns that don't work like I want. Minor problems that are awaiting repair or are non-critical (like my KelTec last round slide lock not working) are a different matter, but they don't keep me from using the gun (unless it's a safety issue.)
The other thing is, I have a policy not to buy more guns than my safe can hold (It's a smaller safe) so space is at a premium. Just curious.
