I agree shooting it isn't going to make any difference... I it more of just getting closer to having the 'real' thing. When you compare prices with a 'real Colt' an extra $160 or so added to this revolver isn't going to break the bank IF I go that route. See how it shoots first... Also when I was talking with my dad and son today, I had to say it 'looks' like a Colt, but "see here, no safety notch, and has this funky floating firing pin safety" . Ie. not really a true 'replica', it just looks like a SAA from the outside.
