In my mind, guns are tools, and they can show themselves ,off with intricately crafted artwork also. On the tool side of it, my wife and I make it a point to maintain proficiency. We have the black rifles. We've hydro-dipped black rifles for some special looks. We own revolvers with the late 1800's design, as well as percussion and flintlock. I love the look of lever rifles, custom engravings, steel 1911s, and carved wood stocks that required hundreds of hours of chisels, files, and sanding.
I no longer hunt, and don't compete. I reload, and make it a point to know enough mechanics about the individual weapons to maintain them. We enjoy shooting in the deserts of the Rocky Mtn. area, and it's great to have some variety, including the polymers.
