    A firearm is a firearm
    If it's made it's made to shoot weather it's a collector or not

    With respect sir, I disagree. I think that the above postings are true in the fact that a commemorative pistol or rifle is meant to be for display. I personally would never buy one of these, I really do not think that they increase in value as compared to a regular firearm.

    It takes a special buy to want those types of commemeratives and they are not easy to get the $$ amount that you really want. To me, taking a Garandicon, Carbine, Colt 1911 or any WWII, Korean era firearm and collecting that will bring collectable value in years to come.
