Is the pitting deep or long? I recently got a new 627-5 so I can help a little bit. Is the trigger the same color as in this picture? And which letter represents the location of pitting: a, b, or c? I'm not sure if picture will appear though since I don't have many posts.

It’s long, not too deep. It’s mostly located on A and B. Thanks for replying

Not a ton I can say without a picture. But if it is in location A and appears to be going under the metal layer that covers the action, then it may be cause for concern. There could be pitting and erosion that is in the action that is not visible without taking the plate off.

Thanks for weighing in, it’s just odd that only the trigger has potential rust. |

Sounds pretty unusual. Here's a new one I just got. Haven't even fired it yet.

So I went today and after a closer inspection it’s absolutely rust. Right under where the trigger goes under the frame has red rust. Very disappointing and I’m not even going to consider it/take pics. They did have a pro series 627-5 that looks great for $1,000 OTD but it’s not a Performance Center. Sorry for the disappointment.

That's unfortunate to hear. I hope you find a good deal on another one. I have no idea how it can be rusted right there. I know stainless steel isn't immune to rust, but that really isn't a place that should be getting rust. I've bought a used 629 before that had minor surface rust near grips where water could accumulate, but it being on the trigger is insane.

The triggers and hammers are flash chromed carbon steel, so if something were to get under the chrome it'll definitely rust. Most everything else is stainless steel and obviously very hard to tarnish.
You could try and talk him down. Triggers are less than $100. I like mine.
