General question re: reliability and failure feedback

Ron, Frank, I have always believed that having a gun you can't shoot makes no sense. However, when I bought a gun that was over 1k, hell, I didn't want to pop some caps and break a breachblock, thus dropping the value from 1.8k to $500...

Why shoot a valuable collector piece when you can buy another one just like it to shoot?

Good excuse to tell the ole lady, but I want to shoot one, this one is for investment!
