Interesting thoughts... I do more puttering, renovating, upgrading and customizing on my handguns so consequently I spend a lot more time with them and can easily see and feel the changes I make on them... Naturally I feel more of a personal link with them... They are partly the result of my handiwork. I also shoot them WAY more than my long guns.

I can see how this would also be true if I did more of the same with my long guns but it just hasn't evolved that way... as much... Yet.
