The 915 is a nice platform. I just got mine out, preparatory to taking it to the range tomorrow. The finish on mine is, well, vintage -- not bad, but not pristine. Still, it is a great basic gun, no frills, but everything that you need. I had Novak's in Parkersburg, WVA install a set of their lo-mount sights to replace the awkward, difficult to see original rear sight on mine -- well worth it, if you shoot your 915 a lot (the OP jumped over this issue by installing a 5906 slide with the lo-mount sight already on it).

Bottom line here is that 915's tend to be reasonably priced, when you can find them, and they make great range, carry, and defensive firearms.
