"They are both objectively measurable". And so is the BS factor.... Everyone is an "Expert" on the internet, just ask them.
I could kick myself for not buying a COP 357 Derringer a couple years ago when I saw it in a gun store. It was for sale for 700, they are quite rare and are a 4 shot revolving firing pin Derringer.
They were also terrible, terrible guns. I remember them when they were new, and nobody had a good word to say about them unless they were trying to sell you one. Yes, now they are valuable collectors items, but they are still nothing you actually want to use. Kind of like that double-barrelled 22 Magnum revolver that was around recently. The Thunderbird or something? In 30-40 years, they might be worth big money too.
Speaking of 4-shot pistols with revolving firing pins, the revival of the Mossberg Brownie by an outfit called "Advantage Arms" in Minneapolis in the 1990's also brings a nice price these days. Does anyone know if they were any good or not? Back then, I never heard and did not want to spend the money on something that was just a novelty.
