I seldom find much to disagree with in David's posts, but on this one I will make an exception. I would not shoot it. There are a lot of nice (~98-99%) M&P's out there, but darned few that are in the condition of that one. If it was mine, I'd find an appropriate box, wax it up, stick it in my safe and only bring it out on special occasions. I think that I would also maybe stick a pair of cotton gloves in (or around) that box in anticipation of the day that some cretin would want to get his paws on it. Just my opinion. -S2
