I bought this as my CC sidearm, but from what I've been reading, it seems like maybe I shouldn't fire this thing and ruin its value. Thoughts? I've bought 3 boxes of ammo and some dummy rounds - so I'm waiting for target practice tomorrow. Any advice is appreciated.
Kygirl, I think you answered your own question. If you don't use it then you could be just like the original owner. Die with out ever using it and your son can sell it. When I pass I what all my pistols to be well used just like myself.
