I inherited this gun from my father who passed....This has only about 500 hundred rounds through it....Has not been shot since about 2000 because my father became...He kept his gun meticulously clean as this one. Any suggestions before trying to shot this gun other than oiling it...should I get a gunsmith check it first.....There is a brand new box of AMMO which is obviously old at this time....Hydroshocks and Federal American Eagle (100 rounds)...Do I dispose of the ammo because of the age or just use it at the range..Thanks

sorry to hear about your dad,

just clean the gun and fire it, the ammo should still be good if kept dry.

Pic?

Ooh. Sounds like a nice pistola.

Clean it up, lube it up and see how it fires. The ammo should be fine unless the boxes are crumbling and there's tons of rust on it.

I shot it today....I went to Shore Shot and the counter people thought the gun was brand new. I told them that my father kept guns really clean. He bought this gun before he got sick in the mid to late 90's
