Nice finish on a nice gun. Don'teven think of shooting the ammo, however.
Regarding the sticky takedown lever, are you pressing the muzzle rearwards before trying to rotate the lever down? Pushing the muzzle down on a padded tabletop helps, and there are lots of youtube videos out there for your viewing pleasure.
You mentioned value, and I'd place the gun at maybe $1200 (maybe as high as $1350 given the finish) and the holster, I'm guessing here, at about $200. They are all over E-bay so take a look there to see what they are really selling for.
Welcome aboard.
