I saw a 520 NYPD model. Looked unfired, 98/99%, with no box and wrong grips for $650. What do you think of the price?

If by wrong grips you mean numbered but not to the gun that would be correct for the 520. The grips were fit and numbered before finishing as usual. However, after finishing they just put any pair from the 520 run on a gun before boxing it up.

Any I have seen are priced way north of $650.

I believe the NYPD never issued a 520. But that's still a good price for a 520 considering that 28 HP's go for that here in NYC.

You are correct.......but, in 1980 there were 3000 520's ordered for NY State Police. They were never delivered.
They are highly collectible and usully bring 800-1000 bucks for niced boxed models.
Two have sold here on the Forum in the past year.

OK, We have a small gun show here in San Antonio this weekend. I saw this this morning and because of member VM "killer price", I went back and got it without the new model target grips for $575 out the door. It is unfired.

Nice score.
Put yourself a "WTB" post in the classifieds for a set of PC N frame magnas.
You should be able to get a nice set for $75 or better

Great gun and great investment!
CONGRATS!
