Drew,

Nice pistol - and welcome to the forum!

When David says "Definitely NOT a shooter" what he means is that your pistol is collectable, and in a very excellent original condition.

Should you fire it, there is a real possibility that an original numbered part could be broken. That will reduce the historic and financial value of your pistol quite a bit.

If you're looking for an insurance value, look at some of the retail dealer websites for what it would cost to replace. Simpson Ltd, Checkpoint Charlies, FGS Firearms should all list similar pistols.
