Default A pair of revolvers for Christmas

A few weeks back when my dad showed a sudden interest in my gun collection I thought something gun related might end up under the tree this year.
But when I went over to my folks place this morning I about went into shock. Never expected anything like this.

A pair of nickel Smiths with real pearl grips.
Model 36 and model 14-4.
Finish on the 14-4 isn`t original. But was so well done that it would be hard to tell if they had not gold plated the hammer and trigger.

Very nice!

But, wait, wait. Will they be shooters, or safe queens?

Almost everything I own gets shot at least occasionally.
These will get shot now and then.
