Geez...first time I’ve ever been called that. [emoji53]

Correct me if I’m wrong...but the 559 isn’t a third gen. I wasn’t lumping all generations in one post there.

645, CS9, 40, 45, 3913 etc., sure do command a premium over other third gens, I’m honestly not sure if it’s a collectibility thing or just that they are such fine examples of solid CCW choices, regardless of age. Want something similar these days new, and be prepared to fork over much more than these beauties go for.

I guess to me, ‘collectibility’ begins when people make a huge issue over whether or not the original box, paperwork, history, etc., is included...that seems to be true with the 10mm variants, mixed with the above models, and absent elsewhere.

Please know, there’s no snobbery here! Semi auto pistol, hands down the 3rd gen is simply the best there is (for me). By and large though, I honestly feel they are better owned in use and enjoyed, rather than collecting dust on the hopes of some future value that may never come to pass.
