Some C96s are simply stone mint. I saw recent edition of Blue Book presenting a mint Bolo, for example. But there are other stone mint ones. Those should NOT be fired. Keep it in that shape. If it's not stone mint, say, it's a 97% or 98% very high condition gun, firing 10 or 20 rounds won't wear it down to a different gun. And, it confirms an important thing -- it works. That's important. Not firing a high condition gun is a "business decision", but it better works. Really cannot tell without test firing. When a nice gun works, I love it.

I test fired a few dozens of C96s, most were nice ones. Almost all of them works fine without any problem. But I don't fire Tokarev ammo, no need to test those on nice C96s.
