I'm not a fan of weapons in the upper echelon price/quality range. I don't want something I have to baby so I don't feel like I ruined its value. As a man with normal means, I look for a good "bang for the buck". While I would not poo poo a $3000 Wilson Combat should it be presented to me, I certainly would not aim to bring one into my collection. All my handguns were purchased for under $800 (really just my 1911 is close to $800), and I would readily give them up for my life. Even my AR I built from scratch, whose sum total is around $2000 and have fond memories of, is not as valuable as my life. I would readily use it to defend myself knowing I would never see it again. If you are a competitive shooter (where you have perhaps money riding on your ability to shoot) you should probably have a few guns in your collection. The one that fits you best for competition will probably not be the same for your carry. If it is, then be a big boy and buy two.

In closing, I would use my truck to defend my life knowing I would never see it again.
