Great post Olong Johnson. Completely agree. This post mirrors my experience with buying revolvers online. Nothing beats hands on. You simply can't catch mechanical issues with pictures...they crop up in very lightly used guns that have been "smiffed," or came loused up from the factory. I experienced problems of varying degree with 3 of last 4 revolvers I bought on Gunbroker. Not issues so severe as to call someone's integrity into issue. Maybe they understood/created the issue, maybe they were answering my pre-purchase questions in ignorance and thought the gun was "mechanically perfect." Maybe I'm overly particular on my revolvers. Maybe not. But, bottom line for me, if I am buying a revolver these days, it is in person, from someone I KNOW is proficient in trouble shooting revolvers, or not at all.
