Got mine in yesterday. No pics yet, but I will eventually update with pics.

Mine is the quintessential " carried alot, shot a little".

Rubber grips are completely worn out. The right side grip is worn smooth, and the back, where the two halves come together, doesn't meet up - a big split in the seam.

Cylinder is very sluggish when trying to rotate - it takes a 2-finger pinch grip to grab hold of the cylinder to rotate it. Cylinder release button (older style) takes a surprising amount of force to open cylinder.

I'll take the side-plate off when I get a chance, definitely take pics of the innards. It needs a good clean and lube prior to shooting.

Finish is covered in scratches. None very heavy, but enough that the FFL commented on how bad it looked. Front sight is unpainted, with a few small "oops" nicks.

That being said, the trigger pull is very nice - long but smooth, with just a hint of stacking before release.

I really don't think it was fired much at all. Very little carbon on cylinder face, bore is good.

I think an overnight soak in Ed's Red will solve many of the problems.
