Default When you do "Try this at home"

I'm sure probably any of us that shoot antique guns, whether damascus or steel, have a slight feeling of trepidation the first time we pull the trigger on a new acquisition. The dents, the pits, the cracks can all give rise to concern. I was wondering what methods of "proof testing" are being used at your "proof house" and did you ever have a mishap? An older gent working at Home Depot told me he sticks the gun inside a piece of 4" PVC and wears a very heavy glove. How about you?
