You realize you rock right?
Appreciate that, but it's definitely Supica, Nahas, Smith and Wesson that rock, I'm merely trying to decipher stuff I see in the index of a book.
But glad I could help.
My opinion on gun: I love pretty guns, but I buy them to shoot, and shoot a lot. I make
absolutely no judgements on what other people wish to do when gun shopping or owning. To me, if it's gorgeous -AND- it's old, I get far more enjoyment by seeing it and enjoying it's owner sharing his love for it. If I'm spending my money, I'm buying one that costs a little less, maybe has some more wear on it... because I'm going to feed it more ammo than 95% of the people who own guns in this country. (not more than 95% of the people on this forum, though.
)
At $595, I'd rather it be someone else's pride and joy, I'd shop for a later Model 14 for less money. And also IMO, Model 14's are -phenomenal- purchases because they made so many that they just don't carry a price tag that reflect their value as a quality, wonderful shooting revolver.
If Model 14's weren't made in such large numbers, they would cost more than $595 and they'd be worth every penny. But the reality is that there are a lot of Model 14's out there.
If I were spending
your money and not my own, there's no doubt I would buy and own and shoot that gun!
