S & W .38 double action top break info

So here's the question. Since I'm not a gunsmith, would it be better to just leave the revolver alone, use it as a range toy, shooting double action only? The cylinder seems to lock up tight. I have other guns for for home defense, EDC etc. Only reason I bought the gun was it was cheap. The rear part of the trigger guard wasn't on it and the seller thought it needed a gunsmith to fit the trigger guard, and with the back of the trigger guard off, you couldnt pull the trigger to check function. I popped the trigger guard back on and that's when I found it's double action only now.
