Wow, and I thought temptation was laid before me! A LeMat would have a sirens song that I could not resist.I was also in the same boat. It's a long story but I recieved a LeMatt revolver as a gift from a family friend that was unfired. I haven't shot it yet but I do plan on it. Yes it would be worth more u fired, but I'm never gonna sell it so I know I'll get more enjoyment out of it by firing it than just looking at it every now and again insode my safe. Just my 2 cents.
