Hello guys I'm new here on this forum and new to this 357 mag I just got.
The Gun is a Taurus 689 357 magnum I got from my mother in law. She told me the gun
Hasn't been fired in 15 years and has been stored In a Briefecase since then. It wAs only fired on 2 new years.
The revolver is like in brand new condition the stainless steel is very shiny there's
Not a single scratch on the revolver. The wood grip is In great condition and looks new.
According to the serial number it's a 1989 model.
My question is since the gun has been stored for 15 years what precautions should I take on
Firing it? Take it to a gun shop have it Inspected? Or clean it myself?
And if someone knows more info on the gun would be great! And the value of
This gun even though Im not gonna sell it.
Here are some pics..
