    If it was used little and cleaned properly, it is hard to tell. The most obvious things to look for is burnt powder on the magazine follower, and scratches on the outside of the mag in the direction of insertion. Some people clean the follower and try to sell it as new. Push the follower down inside the magazine and stick a alcohol soaked q-tip just inside the mag and see if you get any powder residue.
    Hope this helps

    It doesn't matter what you shoot, just shoot it well...

    Also check the magazine catch notch; because the magazine is made of plastic, it tends to show wear there too.
