Thanks Tok36. The dealer seemed flexible when pressed on price (he guaranteed it to be new). However, when the pistol is laying on its side, there is a line (junction) where the slide frame meet. Then directly below that, parallel to the slide, is a line formed by a bevel cut and the flat of the frame ,This line isn't straight, as if someone got carried away with the casting clean-up process. It kind of wanders a bit before it makes the turn around the trigger guard and down the front strap to the mag well. it is only obvious on one side though. (I can here my Dad jokingly say "well, don't look at that side if it bothers ya!) If I can steal it I might buy it. Otherwise, I may just wait...
