There really isn't much to look for in person on one of these. The newer guns, from reputable manufacturers, are all but indestructible these days. They simply cannot be shot enough in a whole lifetime to wear them out, much less in the time this model has been on the market. That leaves the only real issue being any kind of obvious abuse or unusual wear. A cursory visual inspection will reveal any of that. One area of abuse to be particularly aware of is the muzzle; look for any nicks, dents, or other marks. Often improper cleaning will result in muzzle damage from scraping the cleaning rod up against one side. Aside from any of that, there really isn't much that can go wrong.
