Shoot or not to shoot.

If you keep shooting it, some parts will finally break.

I could not hold my curiosity, so I fired 20 rounds from my 1897 conehammer. It worked perfectly, I am very satisfied. That's it, no more shooting is needed on this one anymore. Consider that being "Test Fire".

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.
