It has been refinished and is in great shape
A cool pistol and a nice shooter for someone who wants one to shoot and not collect.$750
That’s a dang nice gun. I have one from my grandfather that is not quite that same age, but never been refinished. Looks almost as good. I wouldn’t part with mine for anything.
I still shoot it two or three times a year. Nice shooting weapon for sure.
I get that this is a “shooter” because it has been refinished as opposed to a safe queen, but I thought these from this vintage had softer metal in the slides and were prone to cracking if shot too much leaving you without a complete original gun?

It’s not a complete original as it is now, so it’s already past that point. I’m no expert on it so I can’t answer you 100% though. I don’t know the history of this gun. Could be why is has a early '40s slide and other A1 parts. Obviously somebody rebuilt this gun at some point in time. The guy I bought it from had a nice collection of antiques and passed along a box of ammo made to mimic the pressures of 45 ball service ammo.
im interested in trading for this gun got some Penn international 50w, 80w or shimano 30w we’ll work something out call me at 803-460-8284

haven’t seen a text, check the number, 843-697-04 one one.
It’s a pro. I have another picture of the other side of the gun that I can get uploaded to photobucket. There was a 4.25" barrel pro series at one point in time.
Edit: got it to work.
Great gun…I have a PRO9 and a VTAC9, both exceptionally better guns than standard M&P pistols.
Nice price too!

Thanks. I thought so on price too! Seems when I want to buy one I can’t find one for less than MSRP. And when I want to sell one people want to pay $250 no matter what the gun is.
Screw that guy. I’ll give you $251.

It’s a nice gun. Unfortunately, 40’s are losing popularity and the market is flooded with trade-ins. That’s probably hurting a little as far as getting a fair price. $450 any other day is a good price. Unless you need the money, be patient. Someone who wants that particular gun will come along.
