Condition report:
The pistol is in excellent condition, retaining nearly all of its original blued finish with only minimal handling marks consistent with light use. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function smoothly and correctly, including the bolt stop and safety mechanisms. The polymer grips are crisp with no significant smoothing to the checkering or damage to the medallions. The included magazines and factory accessories show minimal wear and appear well-maintained.
