Here are some quick pictures.

There is some obvious wear on the finish of moving parts, I was told it's not excessive, nothing to worry about and that the slide is still tight (Felt tight to me but, what do I know?). There is one small burr on the rear of the slide close to the slide catch lever. It doesnt seem to contact anything and I think it could be easily stoned out.

Not really knowing how to judge the condition of a used handgun I went with the advice of a couple friends and the gunshop. It also looked pretty good to me and I am hoping that is the case.
