better to ask, 'can I fire this pistol' ?? If ever in doubt or not sure, take pistol to gunsmith to check it out as a firing pistol. You need correct ammunition. Modern pistols fire modern bullets. Older pistols, like from 1870's, may require black powder bullets. Your pistol is probably marked as to pistol model and date. If not, the make and serial number can be checked to determine date made. If the inside of your barrel is black and debrie filled, don't shoot it. they is why you seek a gunsmith.....the last part is sight and alignment. that is put the front sight between the rear sight and put on center of a target. slowly pull back on trigger until pistol discharges. keep finger OFF trigger until ready to fire.................lots more, but this is a start............
