Mine was ordered early as well but fulfilled after the new year. I might have gotten lucky, but mine was/is both cosmetically and mechanically excellent, which surprised me, especially for getting my order in late. A light cleaning under the plate with Hoppes and CLP via toothbrush brought out just a bit of grime; a standard general cleaning and then a good wipe down and she looks almost new; even the front sight bluing is still clean and the grips aren't nicked up.
Action is perfect on snap caps; can't wait to get it to the range!
