5903
Hello everyone
New to forum. Enjoy it very much and learning quite a lot. At my lgs is a 5903 with one mag and adjustable sights for 480.00 looks to be in fine shape. Is this a decent price? I will try to haggle a little .
Thanks

Welcome to the forum, pricing is pretty subjective, but I will give you my opinion based on the information in your post:
$480 for an out-the-door price is OK, however with only one mag a good deal would be more in the $425 range.

To me, condition is everything. I will pay more for condition. I think people place too much emphasis on how many magazines come with the gun. There are tons of mags available out there at decent prices. $480 is not bad if the gun is in excellent shape with little to no visible wear.

+1 to 4506517! Its getting harder to find 3rd Gens & they're getting rarer below $500. If its in a condition you can live with I say go for it.

Haggle for $450! I bought a similar 5906 (all steel) for $450 and it came with 3 mags.
Mags are generally available from Midway, CDNN, and S&W. plus Mec-Gar makes great replacement mags that work as good as factory mags!

Don't let $50 bucks stop you from buying a gun you want, you will regret it later. As others have said, condition is everything......so why pass when the next one might not be as good. My 2cents.

Don't dally. It'll be gone.
My rec also was to buy. For a fourth (fifth?) time, the condition is key. Folks who tell you they're getting your gun for $127.33 are probably not going into great detail about its condition.
