Beautiful! Now, the question is . . . shoot or don't shoot?

That's really the question isn't it?

Yes, that is a tough question for me(To shoot it or not?)?

If it's unfired, shooting it will knock a couple of hundred off the value. If it's been fired, just take care and enjoy.

1)Thanks!

2)Yes, Id like to keep my OMM .22 in Mint condition to go with my previously acquired(years ago!) Colt OMS .38 pictured below:

I think I see a little cylinder stop drag in the notches, so I assume it's been fired. Doesn't look too deep so it hasn't been shot very much. Now the important things; are you going to shoot it yourself, and how much lunch money did you spend?

Although this OMM .22 looks to have barely been fired, I think that I'll just keep it in it's current like new condition instead of firing it?
