Like preferring tough steak so you get to chew it longer?

Well, I do prefer deer steaks to beef, so- yes!

I'd be guessing your fine museum pieces don't get much range time. That's fine. I applaud your presevation efforts.

But these hunks of deoxidized iron ore were not built to remain static, and I have found my favorite Colt is a 1924 Argentine naval contract. Not really pretty, bore's somewhat rough, but it's a delightful shooter that locks up like a bank vault. Won a couple of IDPA matches with it at Ft. Benning some time back, too...
