If the left grip fit is snug with no movement at all around the safety lever, you are probably OK to test fire few rounds. But check the grip for The Chip before you leave the range...

The left grip is snug , no movement. However - my logic is that , since I appear to have a repaired chip , it happened once and therefor can happen again. Now , I have no way of knowing if the Chip occurred as a result of shooting or bad handling , but given the fact that the grips are original to the gun , and the repair is nicely done , I am unwilling to risk it. I'd hate to undo the work of whoever it was that took the time and trouble to do that repair.
And , for what it's worth , I am happy that the Chip is repaired rather than broken and with a (small) void. I don't know if that flies in the face of conventional thinking , but it looks pretty darned good , and my hat is off the the Chip repair guy , whoever and whenever that was.
