I have extensive experience with the 9mm version, the 5906.

Accuracy is quite a bit better than "combat." It's not a match gun, but it's very accurate indeed.

It's never, for any reason malfunctioned through well over 3k rounds of ammo of various weight, shape and manufacture as well as being shot by novice shooters-prone to poor grip amd limpwristing while learning to shoot. The reliability has been nothing short of astounding.

It's extremely well-made with a beefy forged steel frame, slide and barrel. It's a bit heavier than polymer competitors, but if CC isn't in the cards, the added weight damps recoil a bit.

In the condition you describe, I'd jump at it for $350, still pay $400 with a smile, and go as high as $450+ if I was looking for, and found one, in the condition you described.

TL;DR: Great quality, accurate reliable gun, worth-to me-between $400-$450+.

Best,

Heekma
