What Imbues a Gun With "Soul"?
Gentlemen:
The thread on the recent Fall Southern raised an intriguing question about certain guns having "soul."
So... rather than divert that thread onto a side road, I thought I'd post a new topic focused on a gun's soul.
As we can all agree, many Parkers have it. But a K-80 apparently does not. Neither would some plastic stocked Bennelli semi auto or Turkish box lock. Maybe even a thoroughly flogged and varnish slathered Trojan or Fox Sterlingworth would lack soul.
So... if we limit the issue to double guns for the sake of brevity, the question is:
Exactly what IS "soul" as applied to a Parker or other double gun?
And... which guns have it? And what guns don't?
