There is no way I would shoot this gun before, or after, fixing. You have to ask yourself, what blunt force trauma caused this damage? It didn't "just happen" and I suspect that the left frame ear is not the only part that was affected. Also, if you look closely, you will see that the receiver fork appears to be twisted slightly clockwise as seen from the back.
My advice, Geo, is find another $500.0 and buy a gun you will be proud to own and feel safe to shoot.
