Hello all! Newbie to both the forum and revolvers here. Apologies in advance if these are ignorant questions. Last week I purchased my first ruger handgun (and revolver in general)! An SP101 .357 mag 3" barrel. While VERY impressed with the build quality over all, there is a shallow gouge/machining cut inside the hammer trough on the right hand side of the frame.(pictures attached) Is this simply cosmetic? Or is there any danger of the frame being weakened by this? I bought this with the intention of it being a "forever" gun and it will be used EXTENSIVELY. I've already contacted ruger CS to see if there's a way for them to evaluate.
If it is just cosmetic, is there any aesthetic fix? I haven't fired it yet, and just wanna know its safe to use. Especially with .357. Thank you all so much for your support! Happy to be a part of the forum!
