My preference would be a Centennial Airweight. However, let's pretend that's what you have and my answer would be not to carry it, it's too nice.

It may not be in top collector condition, but it's still nice enough to be collectible to some. We can't all afford 99% guns.

So I'd get a lesser condition example to carry. And either only shoot it at the range or sell it to buy a less expensive, more worn example.

I'm not hard on my carry guns, but never had to use one in a serious anti-social situation yet. Plus accidents happen, drop from a holster, bump against a cement wall, etc.
