So, I recently purchased a 'lifetime' subscription to Washington Fishing and Hunting news for $600. Part of the deal was you also got a S&W 629 for your $600. Now, I didn't really NEED a .44, but then again I didn't NEED a lifetime subscription to a local hunting and fishing magazine. Being a sucker, I jumped at the deal though.
Well, the gun came in yesterday, and what a BEAST. Did I mention I had never even held a 629 prior to signing up for this deal. I have done some dry firing, and the trigger seems nice.
My question is this: As far as the frame, barrel and cylinder go, the revolver is in great shape, I mean...it's new. But...the trigger and hammer seem to be very stained and discollored. I pulled out my S&W 686, and saw that it too had some slight discolloration on the hammer and trigger, but not as bad as the new gun did.
Just kind of curious about this...obviously, the metal of the hammer and trigger are different than the material that the frame is made out of...but is this discolloration normal?
