Do you prefer the original design of a firearm, or it's modern/upgraded counterpart?
For example, are you into milsurp, or rather have modern precision rifles? A GI 1911, or a modern take on the design? A West German Sig (I picked up one recently), or the Legion series?
I suppose it ties into why we enjoy guns/shooting. I get the impression that many gun collectors (which I realize not all gun owners are "collectors") want the newest, greatest gun designs and modifications. I feel I'm in a minority for liking the original designs of the firearms, without upgraded triggers, sights, grips, etc., even if they don't shoot as well.
