If the gun goes bang and hits the target, everything else is 'self stroking', don't you think? If a fella with a wad of money likes the name, I see no reason to begrudge him, nor the other guy that wants a "just as good...". A wise ... person once said to me; "Don't count anyone else's money". That applies in business as well as pleasure, I think.
Our airplanes are all hand made, no two alike.

Ah, well, some people just aren't intellgent enough to grasp more than the recognition of a name.

Some people think their Sherlockian efforts are above the rest.
OR!
Whatever you have in YOUR cabinet at the time is, just as good as.
Both are just a freeform mind jam!

The so-called "Holy Trinity" is just that, so-called. I would consider an Atkin, Grant, Woodward, and others as being no better or no lesser than H&H, JP&S, B&Co. You can not do any better than perfection, but you can equal it.
I have no doubt that there are some who look down on those shooting a gun made by H&H, JP&S, B&Co as a waste is more about envy than substance.
It's an open secret that we all admire and want a high degree of quality in design, manufacture, and asthetics. To each his own, buy the best quality gun you can afford no matter who made it and never mind what anyone else has is the best advice anyone can give.

Chuck, if the gun only goes bang, why are the All-American classic shooters so impressed with grade?
Never do I hear how the gun handles.....its just it's grade that counts.
Oh, SN too!
I mean, if it's just going to go bang.

Maybe you should lay off the crows for awhile and allow them to drive the owls off. Less beheaded quail maybe?

Whats a few owls to do with it, when there isn't the large tracts of land. They are easy to blame, but its really the cost per acre these days. If not in the family, not many city boys can dig-up that kind of money for quail land.
Thats the hard part.
Bird hunters buy their 2-10k guns, they just don't want to cut lose a million bucks and them some for the land needed.

I knew it was "stuck on your Kimber SuperAmerica". The subject of this thread is "what constitutes a handmade gun", not a review of your lack of class.
