I disagree. There is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping your late father's gun in pristine unfired condition as a keepsake, even though you might not be a S&W collector. In my opinion, there would also be nothing wrong with taking it to the range now and then...
I was not considering the source. I'm all for keeping in memory of your Dad. However you will also have to ask; "Would Dad have wanted me to honor him with keeping a collectable piece perfect or enjoying it by shooting it.?"
This is a long standing discussion about "unfired" weapons. One side believes, "Shoot it: that's what it was made for." The other side "There are others to shoot , let's keep the museum pieces set apart, before there are none left."
