Appears to be a wonderful specimen. Trigger shoe adds nothing to the value and since the revolver is now yours that is a decision you should make as to keep or delete. There is a great debate that if the trigger shoe is wider than the trigger guard it can be dangerous for holster carry. That accessory did not come from the factory and is an aftermarket add on. For a range gun then it will depend on what feel/shoots best for you. If the gun has in fact been fired, outside the factory tests, then whatever you are going to use it for shouldn't decrease the value. Holster carry will rub finish off the high spots. More commonly referred to as "honest wear". One caveat is the gun needs to be properly maintained. Cleaned, waxed etc. hardcase60
