Nice gun to display in fine wood cabinet for dinner when the VIPs show up at the villa. Think of it as work of art replacing naked Italian statue or fine oil painting on the wall.
You've got that wrong.
Finn is the clue.
Many patrons can shoot any gun in the world they want. And do. Often.
I prefer to look at these more as engineering studies, where the maker is adding his ideas for improvement where he can.
Love those ejectors on this one.
At Gunmaker's Night, there were some craftsmen there that would show you their "improvements" (however slight) they were making to traditional designs.
Some... "deficiencies" (?) in certain designs, are continually being addressed and hopefully improved upon. And I'm glad people are doing that, and that there are patrons pushing for it.
Some of the assisted openers I handled were as smoothly running as glass. Their closing nearly perfect in the level of effort required, and not a ratchety grind among them.
