The ring is so you can legally dangle your pistol in public.

I'm not sure I would spend that kind of money for a pistol without personally
inspecting the weapon. My model K S&W has worn parts that are very hard to
find, if at all. The trigger assembly must be taken to a machine shop for
adjustments that cost more than the original replacement part that cannot be found.

I would also check the availability of parts.

I intend to inspect it and fire it tomorrow if I get decent feedback here.

I may anyway. ☺

The ring is so you can legally dangle your pistol in public.

Actually it is called a Lanyard Ring.

Its purpose of the lanyard ring is to attach the fire arm to your person with a chain so that if it is dropped in battle it can be quickly retrieved and preserve the owner’s life.
