I fired a few collectibles, including a 6-shot. The feeling -- heartbeat rate and blood pressure increased -- like I am the target, the gun was aiming at me... especially the first shot. Luckily, nothing was broken. The gun operated flawlessly.

Damaged safety lever on a Red 9 and extractor on an Astra 900. Astra is OK because it's a mismatched gun. But that Red 9 was a little bit sorry. Safety lever is not numbered, but finding an original one in great shape is not easy. Good parts usually only found on good guns.
