Hi folks, I just signed up on the sight, and I'm not an expert on hand guns, or any other type of gun. I do know I like them, and I recently purchased (used) the subject gun from it's original owner for $135.00. It was purchased new in 2004 (I think, the receipts date is a little faded), and it's never been fired (except the one round by Ruger). The serial number is; NRA-18279. It's in the original case, with certificate and receipt. He also included a beautiful set of walnut hand grips for it. Other then being excited and wanting to share my new toy (symbolically speaking) I wanted to know what someone with more experience thought of this hand gun. Is it still in production? How many were made, is there somewhere I can get a set of ivory girps for it? The walnut ones are attractive, but I like the white contrast better. Also, would it decrease the value if I took it out and shot it? It's kind of hard not too, but I was told it was a collectors gun although, I'm not sure how much interest there is for it in the gun collectors world. I appreciate your comments, and thank you in advance.
NOTE: I wanted to stress that I'm not one to take advantage of someone. He was happy to sell it, and I paid his asking price.
