Just curious, why would you choose NOT to shoot it. Personally I would shoot it and from time to time use it as my CCW. They are meant to be used. Just my opinion.
I wouldnt shoot them simply because if something were to break in them and had to be replaced, I think the value would decrease. I could be way off, but I would want to keep them as absolutely original as possible.
If ever passing through Waco Texas, it is worth a visit to the Texas Ranger Museum. It is right off the highway. There is a nice bonnie and clyde exibit including shotguns taken from the death car that were brought back from Louisiana. Lots of other historical firearms as well. It is a shame those two handguns are not in there as well.
