Seems a lot of folks are paying a lot of money for what are little more than parts guns from the CMP for war weary M1911's. I don't get that.

That depends on whether you consider the rebuilds of these guns as part of their history, or that the rebuilds just turn them into a loosely related set of bits.

From the MPDC stamped on the slide I’m guessing this was a DC Police gun.

I hate to tell you this but the G17 you have pictured is a Gen2 as the front and back straps have checkering.
Gen1s have the pebble finish all the way around.

I could have been more clear in my post that it is a Gen 2. Upon further "research" I got it in 1995, shortly after the rebuild. Joe

The latter. That little CMP certificate does not authenticate anything other that it was shipped from Anniston, Alabama.
The first time those pistols went through a arsenal "rebuild" with all the parts thrown into a mixed bin of parts, cleaned and possible refinished, then arbitrarily reassembled with components from multiple manufacturers made across decades of time dating back to WWI, they became parts guns.

Aah, but at least they are official parts guns.

Yes, this has become fairly common on GB these days, unfortunately.

Back during the days of Clinton's 1994 gun ban, I was in the market for a semi-auto pistol. A local gun shop had a decent selection, including a very slightly used Glock 23 (.40) trade-in. I ended up buying it for $440 because it came with a 10-rd and a pre-ban "high capacity" 13-rd magazine. I later tried to purchase another 13-rd mag, and about choked when they were asking $100! Crazy...but that was the market price during the ban. Today you can buy used LEO Glock 23 mags for $15.
