[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4108650, member: 14646"] Like others have said, put in the back of your safe and hold off on doing anything with it for a couple years. Take it out when you have time and maybe shoot it or fondle it. Clean it up and keep it nice, for now. Not sure of your age but you said no kids now. Maybe kids down the line. You have any siblings or close friends that have kids you're fond of and are good people. Down the line maybe you can gift one of these kids the pistol for a special occasion if you have no emotional attachment to it. I'd bet the one gifted the 357 would be super happy and they don't have to know you didn't have the emotional attachment to it but they surely would be happy. When my grandfather who was a LCDR in the Navy died in 2009. My mom and aunt gave me his 1940'ish High Standard Model B he was issued in the Navy. It's in very nice condition with several mags and the orignial flap holster. I've shot it once and keep it in the back of the safe oiled and pampered. Will never sell it and look forward to handing it down to my son or his kids in the future. It does, however, hold a lot of sentimental value for me. [/QUOTE]
