Shoot or not to shoot.

Sellers usually do NOT allow test firing. But if it's yours, you can test fire a few rounds. Be honest, I was a little bit nervous while firing this one,,,,, even extractor is special on this variation, if it's broken, I would not be able to find a replacement. Fortunately, nothing negative happened.

[Edit] Another collector has 3 or 4 genuine Shansei C96s in his collection. Never fired any. Worrying break parts is a very legitimate reason. So, up to this day, I still don't know those genuine .45ACP working or not

That's one sweet C96. Congrats.
