As so many have already said, something about the sheer elegance of being able to shoot all day, toting nothing but the gun and the projectiles, sank deep into my tiny brain and just stayed there. Which goes all the way back to childhood...I'm old enuff to remember 50 cents a week allowance, and mowing yards for 2 bucks, so I wasn't looking to spend extra money on CO2 cartridges, etc.
I fell in love with the build quality of classic older wood-and-steel models too, and as an architect I appreciate that they just LOOK good...the design thought and craftsmanship that went into so many details of style, handling, and function is remarkable. When I get too old and puny to shoot, heck I can still leave 'em sitting around just to look at!
Walther LGV Olympia, optional adjustable buttplate and steel diopter
Weihrauch HW 35E, 22-inch Euro barrel and 1950's HW diopter
Webley Mk 3's + Parker-Hale sights
