Shooting is like any other hobby to me. My interest comes and goes in terms of shooting. My life does not revolve around being able to shoot a gun, but it's nice to be able to do so when I feel the urge.
The same applies to collector stuff. I will be hard core for 5 years and then almost completely shut down any new acquisitions for an equal amount of time.
I personally think that the quality of new guns isn't bad overall. There are brands that I won't buy however. There does seem to be more lemons these days, but I think in part it is because in prior years, nobody or very few people even knew about the lemons and it was dealt with between you, the gun shop, and the manufacturer and you moved on. There were no gun forums to advertise the lemons or people who freely give advice based on their own experience. I have many times purchased a gun just to try it out. Magazines only went so far.
