There is "safe to shoot" and then there is "wise to shoot". Even if the gun is safe to shoot (probably not), it is definitely not wise to shoot it.
Any damage that might occur diminishes its value. If you want to shoot such a weapon, buy a replica. They are readily available, made with better materials than the originals and cheap, cheap, cheap! You can get an Italian replica for about $200. If you break it you just buy replacement parts, also plentiful, and you're ready to go again. If you break that original, you'll never forgive yourself.

I own 22 black powder replicas and there is nothing more fun to shoot.

BTW, don't waste any money on the overpriced Colt replicas of their own guns. These are just the same Italian copies with a slightly better fit and finish. Colt buys them from Italy in the white, finishes them and stamps their name on them. Then they add a price tag that would impress J.P. Gotrocks.
