If it is newer than 1924 you are ok shooting it.
If it is older than 1924, The entire slide is not hardened and you risk cracking the slide.
So there you go.
The parts wont wear out,
Replace the springs so the frame does not get beaten by the slide and go shoot it.
If you are intending to run 20,000 rounds through it, You may want a newer one to wear out.
