Ruger LC9 shot before sold?

[kerns bbo]

I picked up a new LC9 last night. It was purchased online and shipped to John (as everyone has said he was a great guy to work with). The dealer I purchased it from did not put it back in its bag to ship it to MN so the gun had a few minor scratches which isn't a big deal. However, while cleaning it I noticed a bit of wear on the slide and barrel. Are these simply from its one test fire at the factory, and then the usual people looking at it and cycling the slide? Or could this be from someone at the original dealer taking a few shots before selling it?

Either way I am keeping it and plan on enjoying it. I would have still bought it knowing it had been shot before. I just want to know if the seller played with it a bit before shipping.

To me it looks like more than just factory testing. Maybe a 50rd box has been shot through it?

Slide looks like it has been cycled a few times. Preliminary reports are saying this gun is 100% and is a comfortable gun to put many rounds through. I recommend taking her out and blasting a few hundred rounds with it. Then tempt the rest of us to get one before summer.

I bought the LC9 for Valentines Day. I really don't like it because I have big hands so the grip is too small for me. I also don't like the travel of the trigger. It's my wife's gun, she picked it out and she likes it, so that's all that matters.

Ours also showed similar wear on it and it came straight out of the box with only the one round fired. I shot this gun maybe 15rounds and I did so poorly that I think I'll stick with my Kimber and Beretta!
