Just bought my first S&W. A 4” model 19-5. It was from a coworker, and I thought a pretty good deal. It was a pretty quick transaction considering we know each other well and I certainly trust him.
But now that I’m looking closer I’m wondering if this has a cracked forcing cone. There’s not a lot of FC erosion. But at the 6 o’clock position there is this mark. Dosent look like a thru and thru crack. More like a divet that’s as deep as the FC bevel.
There’s a bit of fire cutting on the top strap, but nothing I’d worry about. But this divet makes me a bit cautious.
