My 2.75 is almost flawless. It has 2 tiny, tiny little pock marks next to each other, towards the front of the cylinder. And that’s it. However, I bought mine used, so the previous owner may have done that.
The crown and forcing cone look great. Ejection is perfect. Timing is good. SA pull is less than 3 pounds. I always have trouble measuring DA. I think mine is a bit less than 9 pounds. Even tho min was used, it wasn’t fired much at all. The action has gotten much smoother with a lot of dry firing.
I’m pretty pleased with offhand accuracy. My small “Iron Man” steel target takes quite a beating out to 50 yards.
I think it’s a handsome revolver. My Opinion: Buy.

Mine worked fine, but I was happy to get get it and get rid of it. It was just more gun than I really wanted to shoot.
Mine is of good quality.

My advice when considering the purchase of any firearm, be it used or new: Give it a thorough visual inspection, look for defects in fit, finish, and workmanship. Also give it a function test, make sure everything is functioning correctly. Every firearm is a rule unto itself, that includes accuracy, velocity attainable with different ammo, and build quality.
I bought a used 4.25 inch barreled model 69.
It may be the finest revolver I own. It's that good. Beautiful double action and single action.
I added the X Frame Hogues and she handles magnum loads very well. I shoot it as accurately as some of my older target Smiths.
Pure magic for me!
