I agree that P3ATs aren't 'collector's' guns. I mean, anything can be 'collected' - I have considered building a collection of old, working but not 'valuable' in the $$$ sense single shot shotguns. That doesn't really make them 'collectable'.
A role that might be better for the 'Freedom' is as what some folks call a 'Barbecue gun' - as in a gun that isn't so 'special' that you won't carry it but is a little more 'purdied up' than the usual EDC. Imagine if you ordered a different grip from KT (or, heck, use the one that is on it) and had it and the laser body professionally done in red, white and blue, (have the design encompass the grip and laser body as one unit) maybe with a few stars here and there or maybe even with a small field of stars on the grip [handle.] Polish the barrel/have it polished so it shines like a new penny. Get a custom OWB holster (leather, of course) in a cool, related design - like maybe have your initials stamped/carved on it with a border of stamped stars. Wear it in plain sight at gatherings with hoplophile friends and enjoy the attention the rig gets. Now, I am not usually one for making a carry gun look extravagant, for lack of a better term, but for something that would be more like a 'barbecue gun' and not an EDC, it could be fun.
My mom has a 'Lady .32' edition of the P32. It has a rose engraved[?] on the slide as well as 'Lady .32'. Mom likes things with roses on them but she also likes the P32 as a firearm so the 'Lady .32' is her carry gun - the rose just makes her like it a little more.
