I've had what I called safe queens. I didn't shoot them very often and sold them for something else. Now, as I look back at my Photobucket account, I wish I would have let them stay in the safe. I really miss my .357 Security Six, along with a few others, including a few ARs and a Sig P226. I've made a vow to never sell or trade a gun from now on, though. If I don't use it now, that doesn't mean I won't use it a year or two down the road.
Me, too !!!!! I try to shoot all of my guns .....No safe queens here. I won't put myself in a position where I have a gun so nice that I'm afraid to use it and get some wear on it. I have plenty of sub-$600 firearms that, when they receive some wear marks on them, I simply call it "character."
