The firearm is in excellent overall apparent condition, retaining virtually all of its original black finish on the Scandium frame and barrel shroud, with minimal handling marks visible. The lightweight cylinder shows a matte gray finish consistent with titanium construction and exhibits a faint turn line. The custom laminated wood grips are excellent with no chips or cracks. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The double-action mechanism appears to function correctly in both single and double action modes. The included Galco holster shows light use and wear consistent with carry. We have not function-tested this firearm with live ammunition. It is the buyer\'s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
