I don't buy any firearm that I would not shoot! I do not have any safe queens!

I purchased years ago a rare pristene 1902 Fat Barrel Luger with perfect straw! That and my 1900 Test Luger will remain on my to shelf~ I do own a perfect shooter made purchased from one of our family!

I second that Major Tom, all my firearms have been shot at least once. I bought an 1860 original Colt Army Revolver in 2015, according to Colt made in 1862, so 153 years old at the time, cleaned it, loaded it with ball and powder, and let fly. Judging by the grunge in the cylinder, and the blocked nipples, it was probably the first time that old Colt had gone bang in at least 75 years, or more. Had no problems, shot fine, and was surprisingly very accurate. The oldest Luger made is at least 40 some years younger than that old Colt. Use reduced loads if possible, and let those old guns "speak" again.

Yes, some I will not shoot. Once you break a numbered part, you have messed up.
