What is going on with the barrel on the 24?

Looks like someone broke its nose...

Very nice Congrats on them new shooting irons Tex.
That 24 has a stepped front sight

The barrels look blackened because of the lighting rather than anything physical with the revolvers. Old and cheap camera mounted on an old and rickety tripod with backlight provided by old and rickety desk lamp. I think I'll add some better lighting before trying to use the pic setup for any Gunbroker pics. I believe that the sight is stepped up to raise things above the porting.

I was thinking it was some heavy fouling from the porting.

Nah. It's bright and shiny. If it were as fouled as the lighting makes it seem, I wouldn't have taken the picture at all before cleaning it. I'm still experimenting with taking gun photos and will get the lighting right for that setup eventually.

Nice 940!

I had to search for about a year before I found one at a decent price...
