That beautiful gun is crying to be taken to the range and set free...
I'd be the one crying if I ever did shoot it. I did put around 500 rounds through it when I first got it (pre-ban days). Now I take her out, wipe her down and treat the ivory grips twice a year.
I tend to go through a rotation to prevent safe queen syndrome. I open up the safe and think to myself 1. Has it been a while since I shot it 2. Can I afford to shoot it? or 3. Do I have ammo for it. If the answer is yes to these questions then I shoot it.
Also my m&p..

I'll be right over...Just watch the gold watch as it swings back and forth...
"Mike, your eyes are getting heavy, you're feeling sleepy....When I snap my fingers, you'll wake up, drive MassMark and your Les Baer to the range with 1,000 rounds of .45, then buy him lunch and a case of Smithwicks".... 3, 2, 1...<snap>
She's not a whole lot to look at... but here she is...

Mike1911: How do you treat those ivory grips? I just bought a pair from Nutmeg for my Derr Series 70....
The only way I'd ever have a safe queen is if a friend needed me to hold onto something for them, I would respect their wishes.... but if I was the owner,
nothing would go unfired. Nothing. And if it could not be fired (for whatever reason) I'd sell it and buy something I could fire. Guns that don't work have little to no place in my safe.
