Bought a new python couple days ago and just noticed there's a very tiny hairline (about 1/6 inch) on the top of its inner frame right behind the cylinder, running from its outer edge to inner edge. Can confirm it's not the seam cuz the shape is quite irregular. Only noticeable under direct light from a specific angle. Initially I thought it was some fiber dust from my clothes but come to realize it's something carved on the metal as I can feel the unevenness with my nail. Couldn't tell whether it's a concave or convex crack. How much trouble am I in with this revolver? Been shooting it fine with 100 rounds so far.

sry for the blurred image folks. I re-uploaded it and circled the hairline in red. To be more correct, the hairline is at the inner frame just behind the cylinder. I also sent the pic to colt for them to assess the issue.

thanks folks for your comments! Finally able to look at it under magnification (see pic). Still couldn't tell whether it's crack or just a scratch. The mark is almost invisible if not from a certain angle. It doesn't look deep though. I contacted colt and they suggested me send it back to do an assessment. What do you guys think, should I send it back?
