Default Gentleman need your expertise..

I found a guy who wants to sell me for $375 out the door. 45 compact with thumb safety. FDE in color frame green with black slide, box and papers and backstraps 250 rounds down the pipe. Should I run and not look back

I have the midsize 45 in all black so I don't really need it but you know how that goes fellas.lol. The two-tone looks good..lol

Your thoughts and feedback and push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
JL.

$375 is a good price but $325 is better. If you don't need it pass it. Got to go with your gut there. New runs @ $500. Probably not getting your money back on that one.

That's actually a very fair price with all accessories, OTD. That model, the 45c is very hard to find, and seems to bring a slightly premium price. The one I purchased about a year ago is the only one I have seen in the local gun shops, and I frequent them quite often...

A very good price on a hard-to-find pistol.

The two tone 45c is one of the hardest M&P pistol to find. IMO that is a good price.

This is one of those "Don't think just buy it". You can always use another M&P

If you don't want it then buy it and sell it to me.

Buy, buy, buy. I found someone who hated his 9mm Compact. On a whim, I said I would give you $400 for it. He said sold. Had 4 total mags with it and was like brand new. Never look a gift gun in the mouth.

Default Update.....

Fellas, well just wanted to give you an update in regards to the gun. I bought it and damn love it, fits my hand very well, I was worried bc I have large hands.. Dare I say I like more than my mid size 45, to me it just feels better. The color FDE is outstanding really makes it pop really enjoying the two-tone look.

I had to keep looking over my shoulder bc I felt like I was stealing it

Thanks for the push, I needed it. Now if anyone could PM and tell me how to upload pictures, would love to show you looks brand spanking new.

Best Regards,
Jim

I'd say its a pretty good deal unless there's something wrong with it. For used M&Ps in my area (midwest) the dealers are asking $100-150 more. Private parties seem to asking at least $50 over that price unless they are including a boat load of accessories and then the price tends to go up. I don't know how desirable the green frames really are, but I'm always hearing of someone feeling like they really scored getting one. And there seems to be a following for the thumb safety too. I'd grab it up. You could at least spin it and make another $50-75.

I'd like to see the gun. The 45C is a winner in my book.
