It is used and I am at least the 3rd owner. I checked the manufacture date, but don't remember the details right now (I was under the impression that the "target gray" stainless look was dropped a while ago). It is the gray finished stainless version. I was going to start this weekend by giving it a good cleaning (beyond the bore and cylinder) and making sure the firing pin is moving freely. Firing single action or double action didn't seem to make any difference.
