Long time firearm owner, first time S&W owner and new to the board. Until last week I thought the only revolvers were made by Ruger (just kidding) and had never even shot a S&W revolver. I now own 2 of them and still won't be shooting them.
I stumbled on 2, 1972 (supposedly), 28-2 Highway Patrolman revolvers with 4" barrels... NEW, un-fired, still in the original box with manual, cleaning kits and even the warranty cards. If these 48 year old pieces are truly unshot, I am in a quandary. I don't like to own guns I don't shoot but in turn do not want to screw these up by shooting them.
I am considering selling these (at least one) to a collector and using the proceeds to buy one I will actually shoot. I would like the advice of people that actually know S&W so I can possibly preserve a couple of pieces of history... or is being an unfired revolver a detriment because it hasn't been tested?
I didn't start off here thinking I was going to do anything but say hello. If this is in the wrong place please direct me where to ask my above question. Thanks a million in advance for your help.
