No pistols here that are unfired. Can't think of any rifles, either.

Dad had a few of them. At one point he had a Baby Browning .25 ACP. When I was in college I asked him one day if we could shoot it, and he was aghast - he said he was afraid of getting a finger in front of the muzzle smile

I have a Ruger #1 that is a fairly rare variant, rare enough to consider just putting it back in the safe. But the previous owner lost the box, so I finally decided to take it out & shoot it. It has proved to be the most accurate big bore I've ever seen, and has become one of my favorite rifles.
