Condition report:
The pistol is in very good condition, with the matte stainless steel finish showing only minor surface handling marks and light operational wear. Some carbon residue and light staining are present around the hammer, breech face, and muzzle from limited use. The bore is bright with crisp, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly with positive engagement of the decocker, although it has not been live-fire tested. The polymer grips remain in excellent shape with sharp checkering. The factory box exhibits some edge wear and shelf storage marks but is overall well-preserved.
