Report to a mod. A "defect" can range from a light scuff to something really dangerous. People turn down guns for cosmetic blemishes from time to time, and people get upset. But if there's something seriously wrong, don't hesitate to let us know.

I know the "Scenario" didn't categorize the nature of the defect. That was fairly diliberate to get broad feedback. However, a cosmetic matter is not somthing I would loose sleep over.

it could be

i wont deal with someone if they lied or misled or omitted something obvious

had a guy on here trade me a fnx9. said it was unfired, but it clearly had been fired (still looked new, but it was fired)

Not to limit the discussion to a specific event, but to answer the question from "Bypass":
It was a slide warp (soft dent on the slide). When I tested cycling a dummy round I got sporadic failure-to-extracts and inconsistent slide speed. Upon a close open-chamber down look I could see a slight warp.
