Condition report:
The pistol is in good used condition. The matte black finish shows visible surface wear and silvering along the sharp edges of the slide, the accessory rail, and the muzzle area. Minor scuffing and light scratches are present on the slide from regular handling. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly and the trigger pull is crisp, though the firearm has not been live-fire tested. The Pachmayr grips are well-preserved with no tears or significant damage. The five included magazines and the original hard case show light cosmetic wear.
