You've got it Andy! Those silly plastic rifles will go out of style faster than Rap music!
As to the other question, i.e. Shoot/don't shoot, first ascertain if it has been fired. If it has, I don't think a few more times is going to be that detrimental to its value!
BEAUTIFUL OLD COLT FOR SURE!!! Note how sharp the grip checkering still is!
