model 66 no dash frame forging problem

Hi all
I just inherited a model 66 no dash with an interesting flaw in the top strap, any advice from you guys whether the pistol is still safe to shoot, the forging problem is about 3mm deep, 3mm wide, and 8mm long.
Its fired at least 100 rounds of full factory and about 8,000 target and its still tight.
Thanks
