The gun is bead blasted, but that does not bother me. I actually prefer the look of it. I did confirm the action job was done by one of the top gunsmiths in the area the gun is currently located. They say it is very smooth.

Just to clarify - this gun did NOT say that it was a police trade in. Most of those that were traded in are DAO.

This gun does have a 3 day return policy, so I will have it checked thoroughly by my FFL. If it is below standard - it will go back. But it is a trusted seller so I believe it is a good gun.

I will post back and update when it arrives.

Thank you everyone for you comments. I really appreciate it. As a semi-newbie - it is comforting to know you are all here to help us a long!
