I also don't recall that...

Edit: just checked the original listing...Nothing about the takedown latch...

Non-matching, broken mainspring, and they raise the price???
I won one about a year ago, when I detected within myself the desire for a 1900--just in case, I figured it would be an important spare part if I got involved with one.

The pistol also has some small parts blued that shouldn't be.

You think ~$1k is more what it is worth? The "temporary" buyer said it would be OK to divulge my knowledge or the gun's issues gained by his experience. I could theoretically put off my purchase of tires for my truck by putting on the two of each set I have, to pass inspection next month...
