u/AlcohicRetard, no disagreement there. Majority of my handguns are blue steel & wood including my EDC. All have appreciated dramatically over what I paid for them years ago. Am now looking at S&W MP Shield 9MM as my EDC. Why? It's cheap and it's a tool. If I drop it and kick it across the garage floor I won't care as there are millions more just like like it. It has no inherent value beyond what it does and is not unique or collectable. All my golden era guns move into range toy category once I have my new EDC.

Aside: I used to have a model 36 RB w/ 3" barrel and a 37 Airweight. The 36 I sold off like a retard and the 37 was stolen by the cops after it was recovered after being stolen from me. Fuckers.
