What is the point of owning a beautiful gun, if you never get to shoot it? Lend them freely to others to enjoy and use them.
This. Something I experienced regularly when I was shooting pistol. I'd peer at a pistol or revolver, say something like, 'Wow. Never seen one of those, except in books', and have it put in my hand and be waved toward the firing line with a box of ammunition.
You've made me realize that the next time someone at the club peers at one of my side-by-sides with sincere curiosity and interest, I should offer them the shotgun and a box of shells. "If you'd care to? Right barrel's choked for Trap. Go nuts."
