Yes, eight (8).You have EIGHT G19s? Are the neighborhood armory?
I’ve bought numerous early, valuable collectibles that were never fired, etc. I enjoy letting the kids be the first to ever use them; you only live once, and for us it’s not about the $$. As an example, my grandfather collected S&W revolvers, and the cornerstone of his collection was his RM, circa 1936. Best we could tell it had exactly one cylinder of factory cartridges through it, as we have all the original artifacts that shipped with it when new, including a few boxes of ammunition, one of which has exactly six empty cases. The receipts in the collection show the revolver and ammunition. The factory registration cert, box, wrapper, tag, etc. are all there. I paid S&W for a factory letter some time ago, signed by Roy Jinks. A couple of years back the kids and I brought it out while my father was still with us, and enjoyed using it at the club that day, along with his vintage K22. I have absolutely no regrets about doing that, as my kids will always remember taking their grandfather to the club that day and using the cherished RM that belonged to his dad. To let that treasure sit in storage as we all grow older doesn't do much, other than appreciate in perceived value to someone else.I'm shocked when I see guys find a pristine early Colt or S&W and go shoot it, because it devalued the gun. But it's their's to do what they want.
