Sail,
If you decide to shoot (I would but that's me) you might want to repair the grip and then get some reproduction grips to shoot with and set the others in the back of your safe. They are fairly easily damaged (esp. where yours is) and then you won't have to worry about destroying them. Some of the older grips (I suspect from drying/shrinking) move around a bit on the gun when shooting, which makes damage even more likely. There are no solid/easy fixes that I know for that (tried a couple, no luck), I ended up ordering some plastic reproduction grips from vit-zemanek (eBay) from the Czech Republic as several members have had pretty good luck with his grips. All of them seem to require a bit of fitting. Enjoy.
