Handguns that you rarely shoot?

I'm not talking about safe queens here.....guns that are bought for 'investment' or will depreciate in value if they are fired, or rare, 'one of a kind' pieces....

What I'm talking about are guns that you own and shoot occasionally, but for one reason or another they don't seem to go on too many trips to the range in the course of a year.

For my, it would have to be my 1920's commercail P-08 Luger. I like the gun, it isn't particularly 'valuable' (esp. when compared to other Lugers), and it shoots fairly accurately, but................

..it's not a 9mm; it's a .30 Luger!

ammo is extremely expensive and difficult to find! Last box of Winchesters I bought were over $1/round, and the price has gone up considerably since then. There are no FMJ 93 grain .30 cal bullets for it, reloading data is scare as hen's teeth, and the gun tends to eject the cases forward of the shooter, meaning I loose a great deal of brass if I shoot it at an indoor gun range.
