Pitting can occur on the outside, due to rust, or it can occur on the inside due to rust that develops from corrosive residue from firing that has not been cleaned away.

Considering that a Davis pistol is a junk, Saturday night special, some pitting on the exterior would not surprise or concern me. Pitting in the bore can affect accuracy and also make future cleaning more difficult, but a Davis is not a pistol that should be shot a lot so my suggestion would be to give the gun a good cleaning, apply a light coat of oil inside and out as a rust preventive, and not worry about the pitting.
