Original 1911: safe or shoot?

[pdm]

I don't see how you couldn't shoot that. It would kill me to have such a sweet gun and not shoot it.

It would be a sin not to shoot it. It's what it was designed for. Great looking!

Beautiful gun bro. Use quality ammo, clean it well after, and go shoot it.

Shoot it, keep it well oiled and enjoy the hell out of it..

I would also echo the "put new springs" in there. Almost 100 years and who knows how many rounds have been shot from the gun. A new spring is a very inexpensive insurance policy against the slide whacking the frame and causing damage..

Main spring is so "stiff" I could barely get it back in!
