S&w 586

I recently purchased a S&W 586-3 6"bbl. The gun has never been fired before, has no drag-line. I am on the fence about shooting it. I am aware of it's collectable appeal and value (basically new in box, original everything and sealed little baggie with cleaning rod, brush, etc) however since I do not plan on selling the gun anytime soon (at all honestly) I cannot help but feel like I bought a $700 paperweight. I guess I am looking for reasons to justify me firing the weapon, since I did lust after a "classic" gun on the likes of an unused colt python that I can shoot and make my own so to speak. However considering a local Gun shop owner's reaction to my gun, I also feel like I might not fully appreciate the firearm I have. Any thoughts, philosophies, further questions, and comments toward shooting/keeping unused are appreciated.
