Maybe i will keep it that way and try without the accelerator and if it works i'll shoot few rounds sometimes and if it didnt work i'll keep it just collectible thing
Otto,
If it were a rare piece, a collector might accommodate the crack; but as it is, IMO, it is a broken shooter and has already lost any collectability.

If you want a shooter, find a replacement slide for shooting and keep the original as is. I would bet that repairing and refinishing will cost more than one would want to spend on it.

Sorry, but that is just the way it looks from here.
