      Safe Queen? Blah, if it's not worth shooting, it's not worth keeping. Gun collectors are gun owners without shooting skills.

          Are Car Collectors car owners without driving skills?

          Never had a real nice gun, you don't shoot?

          My Sharps 1863. 50-70 Govt. caliber. My Dad gave it to me. I've shot 20 rounds through it, in the last 12 years.

          Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

          I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

          Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

            I have nothing that's unshot. This is as close to a safe queen as I could figure.

                Not really, semi-retired tho. Got a couple of 'em.
                Colt pre 70's series 1911A1, circa 1968.
                I've shot this one a few times but, it's an heirloom to be handed down to my grandson.
                The other one is a S&W pre Model 28 Highway Patrolman, circa 1953. I have other .357's, I have but, don't "need" to shoot this one.

                  Hey Bruce, good to see you posting again.
                  Long time since I've heard from you.

                    Everything I have gets shot but the closest I have to a safe queen is my Sig 226 now. Ever since I got my Glock 21, I don't shoot the 9mm anymore.

                      Just got it, and while I'll shoot it, it is DEFINITELY a collector piece.

                          For me I shoot everything I got, nothing for safe queen. Can't really take anything with us when we go anyways.
                          I plan on giving all my guns to my son and my G17 to my daughter. She will get other things of equal value.

                            Hey Mike,

                            I've been around but, mostly lurking - Going thru some medical stuff.
                            You're also keeping a low profile, haven't seen you post on the S&W forum in a while. Sip & cajunlawyer are keeping up with the witty reparte but, it's been awful quite without your commentary.

                                You know what I hate in picture threads? When you just get long page after page of the same 3 pictures because everyone keeps quoting the same couple of posts with the pictures still in them. Damn that's annoying.
