There's no good way to say this. The gun is butchered and has very little value. I would not take one as a gift as I would not trust it with the front lug missing. These can jam in this condition. But people who don't know buy them for hundreds of dollars from slimy dealers. I see them at shows tagged at $500 and laugh out loud. But then I realized an uninformed person will buy it and I want to cry.

BTW- The plated hammer and trigger are a tip off of a low cost refinish. S&W did not plate these parts.
