Everything RK said is true, but prior to that, I would visually check to ensure that it had no cracks, warps or other items wrong with the toggle, frame, barrel, etc.
Take it to a gunsmith if you feel funny about it at all, where they can headspace it and this will reveal if it has any abnormalities prior to firing it.
Then follow through on RK's suggestions.
