Thanks, zwego! - Why would a cheap sxs, 500 bucks, seem like a weird siren song to some ear in my brain that hears" Hey! what the F***? Just pick one up and use it for whatever you want! Ya won't hafta worry aboutevery scratch and ding - just blast away!" Strange appeal, but I think I'll just pass and put that 500 bucks towards my next ridiculously expensive gun.
