Here's the deal;
I just got my wife excited and into shooting with me. So much so that she actually wants to concealed carry. So, for her birthday I ordered here the Talo Edition Lcp in Robin's Egg Blue, one of her very favorite colors.
She's going to absolutely freak that they made a gun she liked to shoot in this color.
So I ordered it from a seller on Gunbroker, listed as "Factory New, in the box".
There was 1 of their reviews that mentioned just making sure you give anything you order a good look before you accept at your FFL. It seemed they had sent him a "factory new" pistol with a marred slide.
So here's what I see when my wife's arrives:
I know, it's super small. But it's a pit in the trigger guard. If it was for me, I don't think I'd care. When my slide got a bit of marks from the gunsmith installing my night sights, I didn't mind at all. It's a tool for me.
But it's a gift, and that somehow changes my threshold of acceptance. I feel like the dealer is purposely selling this online since anyone who inspected at their shop would call out the flaw and ask for a discount or another pistol before purchasing.
I don't know, am I overreacting?
