Fired MANY times

DonVoigt · 09-14-2015, 11:27 AM

I can see the same picture and conclude that the gun has been fired, and many times- though I have no idea how many.

The slide cartridge face area is the "tell".

That aside, I would never describe a gun as "un-fired", for a couple reasons-
1- you can never prove it
2- it really makes no difference
3- all guns have likely been fired at least once!

I'd use the description wording similar to what Ed says in his post above.
That puts back into the realm of "what you know".
