Thanks for all of the info so far.
Good point about gifting to his daughter (my wife) and then to me. I didn't even think of that angle.
A few things about the gun that I'll post.
I'll never carry it or probably even shoot it so transporting it shouldn't be an issue, but I do have a LTCF and so does my wife
.
The lock up is a bit loose on it and I wouldn't trust shooting it until a gunsmith looked at it.
It will be a safe queen and an heirloom/conversation piece.
and of course - a picture
I also have his duty rig and a couple of pictures of him receiving awards with him wearing the gun and rig.
He is a retired Philadelphia Police Officer. He served under Frank Rizzo.
It's one of the best Christmas presents that I ever got.
