Well, got it home last night. Seemed to be leaking a bit, so as w/ all new purchases, I had to see what she looked like inside. 5W? oil everywhere. Seems the previous owner thought oil was a good thing.
Looks to be in fine working condition. Need to use some wipe out in the throats and a cleaning session w/ the Outers Foul Out for the barrel. Lots of copper residue and some lead, but all in all, not bad.
Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

Hey Ron, you forgot to take off the rear sight. Just kidding!
Man, you blew that thing apart BIG time! I still haven't taken a crane release lever, or the cylinder ball out of any of mine. Looks like it's in great shape, from what I can see.
Seems to have fairly low mileage, too.

Just a hint of flame cutting, barely visible from the side, is the only wear- and that's nothing. It was holstered quite a bit and stord on its left side as that's where the bluing is worn.
Didn't want to take the rear sight off as it's not terribly wobbly yet. SMs have a different hole placement than the large frames, otherwise I would have removed the sight and replaced w/ a OEM white outline I have laying around.
I hit the frame w/ some Flitz and now I'm cleaning and re-assembling. Seems as though I have a few spare parts though...that always happens.
Just kidding.
