The 1911 is still the best pistol out there. It just keeps going in any condition due in part to its looseness. If it weren’t for the necessary safety, it would be my EDC.

This sort of hits on a conundrum I've been having. In the last year, I have down-sized from a 4 bedroom 2-story 2800 sq ft house to a 2 br 1600 sq ft condo/flat. Went from 2 cars, 1 truck and an SUV, to just 1 crossover and 1 SUV. I will be adding a RV, but not for a bit.
I am also down to just 2 soaps, 1 cream a couple of favorite DE's and Shavette's 1 SE and 1 Straight. And went from 12 brushes at one time, to only 3 synthetics now. I am sitting on 150 aftershaves and need to figure out something with them. I have been actively downsizing and streamlining the material things before retirement to make my life more efficient.
And while I don't mind having a few sentimental items still around, I am trying to figure out how to justify, the interest in obtaining and owning a few of the older, classic firearms, which other then being sentimental or collectibles of history, probably won't get any modern, everyday usage which one could still define as efficient?
I won't be taking any of them with me into the great beyond? But I do love guns?
