    I'm a shameless crossfitter and have been for about 6 years now. I don't regret buying my Nike Romaleo lifting shoes which cost me around $200. It seems stupid for a pair of shoes that were designed with only one purpose in mind but they completely changed my Oly Lifting game.
    I've never regretted spending money on quality footwear in general.

    Personally I would rather have ONE rifle, EXACTLY how I want, instead of 3 rifles, sort of how I like them. So in the case of spending "too much on Grail Guns", as far as I am concerned, if it makes you happy, you did it right, and you would never be satisfied otherwise.

    If that "Grail Gun" is a clean 4506, or an old Pinned and Recessed Model 29, don't settle.
    Sometimes it ain't a "grail gun", it's "collectoritis". I have a hard time defining what is a "grail gun" for me, because I go through phases. Suffice to say, anytime a wheel gun comes my way, I am inclined to look hard at it. "RevolverRob" isn't just a screen-name, it's a way of life. Right now I've got my eye on a 6" Colt Police Positive in .32-20 (because a long time ago, someone gave me a box of .32-20 ammo and since then I've needed a .32-20 gun)...

    32-20 is a neat cartridge to shoot and load for. I have a S&W M&P 32-20.

    The last "grail gun" I had was a K32 32SWL. I stumbled across one a few years ago. It was a bit rough cosmetically, but mechanically sound and priced to sell. I could have immediately flipped that gun for twice what I paid. Now, I'd like to have a "nicer" or "older" version, but both descriptors come with a 4 figure price tag, so I'm content with my "grail lite".

    I used to think this back when I was in HS but never had the scratch. Outta college I kinda splurged my first few paychecks but once the student loan bills came I went back to being cheap AF, consequently spending too much money buying two or three of a thing to avoid buying only one thing. My wife has been rather good at convincing me to get what I want if we can swing it and since working like that our spending cash has been much more plentiful as we're not getting a bunch of cheap shit and then the good thing.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    Isn't that really hard for men to find, or am I thinking of something else?

    Oh yeah I almost forgot. I bought a well established business rather than starting from scratch and I don't regret it.
