To you guys with expertise, permit me to make a dumb comment: Do you all remember the book "Dispatches" by Micheal Herr from the Vietnam era? A Leftist magazine sent a correspondent to interview Herr in a hospital in Saigon to show once and for all "The futility of the romance of war". (the corespondent was a Brit coming out of the Brit anti-military tradition from WWI - read "The Wasteland" and compare it to Kipling to see how WWI changed Britain). Herr raised himself up on an elbow and said, "Romance? Have you ever seen the effect of an armored brigade with full force going into an assault? And that's not romance?" (paraphrased).

Well you all know I'm not a collector or dealer and have a few sxs's to give as shooters. But I hope I have passed on to sons and their wives the romance of shooting a sxs. And that trumps black guns everywhere.
