I hope you get a good one when it comes in. I bought an early one and it had several issues. I hope they are now getting the quality better.
These might be some areas to look at when you pick it up.
Cylinder ratchet quality and metal curls on star points. Filed and polished the ratchet and made a tool to clean up curls.
Hammer shape. Reshaped and polished.
Front sight gap. This caused the rear sight to be at the upper limit. Just put on a red dot.
Hammer rubbing on frame. Added shims.
Poor firing pin impact. Before and after modifying.
Also the right side of the trigger guard was very rough and needed finish filing and sanding.
I fixed everything but the front sight dovetail myself and it is now very smooth after tuning.
