That is a great question and I think each of us have a unique "line" between shooter and collectible. For me it is a shooter if shooting it regularly will not diminish the value of the gun. I have a few Parkers that I shoot regularly, other high condition guns I shoot rarely because regular shooting will diminish their value and then a rare few that are rare and in high condition and shooting them could cause significant loss of value and also the "loss" of one of a diminishing number of such Parkers. I treasure my shooter as much ,if not more ,than my other Parker but love them all.
