Looks like a standard LWSC Lightweight to me.
Correct serial number range, aluminum cylinder frame and steel cylinder.
Around 5,000 made just like that one.

Put a magnet to the cylinder frame I bet it doesn't stick :twisted:

Also definitely request a letter of authenticity. The frame looks like steel to me.

Alright. You are correct, it is a lightweight. It just feels much heavier than the tricolor I had. I did the magnet check and the frame is aluminum. It does have a small allen screw in the frame above the cylinder for the rear sight. Thanks for all of y’all’s help.

I guess what was throwing me was the steel cylinder, where the tricolor has an aluminum cylinder.

Nice looking one, too. Sorry it's not a unicorn.
