I don't know of another soul, inside my rather large circle of hunting associates, who hunts with a S XS other than me. That doesn't depress me, it doesn't cause me to spend time pondering it, and it has zero bearing on my future gun usage. I enjoy them. I don't care if I'm the only one in 400 miles who does. I own lots of them because I enjoy them. Not because I hope to influence someone else to.
I plan to move a few that I don't use anymore before it's too late. But whatever is left when I cross the river will go to my son and grandsons. Screw the dollar value. That's not, and never has been, why I do this. I wouldn't lose any sleep if they went to ten cents on the dollar.
You must be doing something wrong, Stan. I think all of my regular hunting buddies now hunt with double guns pretty much all the time except for one who uses Grandpa's model 12 about half of time. They all come around eventually.
