That's a nice gun! Glad for you!

This is a dilemma I sometimes face. Even tough I don't buy unfired vintage revolvers, I find that if the gun is nice enough, I'll still avoid shooting it after I've initially shot it to make sure it works. Don't want to put wear on it. I figure it's probably just part of the hobby to own a few safe queens.

But I do shoot all of those nice vintage guns at least once, because I won't own a gun that doesn't work.

I would shoot it for sure. Keep in mind you are more likely to cause wear from excessive cleaning than shooting so I would shoot a lot but clean a little. In this modern age of noncorrosive priming there is no need to clean a gun after every range trip.

Yes sir! It's had a few trips to the range and cleaned up just fine after. (looks better now than in the above pics) No regrets shooting it and will definitely get it back out soon. Fantastic shooter.
