Local forum has one posted. No price listed so what would be fair? Doesn't appear to have box or any extras. Does have a CHP# below serial number.

iirc, Robertsons had a bunch of the California guns CDC and CHP. I think they were in the 325-450 range. At least that is what I paid for mine.

Sounds about right to me, depending on the shape it's in.

Are you guys reading the "integrated" rail part?
I'd go with what you're willing to pay or make contact and ask what they need out of it.

I sure would like to see some pictures of the gun. If it is a "integrated rail" model then I would expect it to go for $500 to $650 even with some wear. Those integrated rail models are very rare so expect to pay a good bit more than a "riveted rail" model.

Well it disappeared within an hour or so. No idea what it went for.

3rd gens do that repeatedly, I bought several within hours of being posted on the auction sites.
I would guess it went for $1k or more. Thats what an integrated rail 4566TSW went for recently on one of the auction boards.
Those integral rail guns are scarce. They bring quite a bit more than your run of the mill LE trade ins. And are worth it too! Regards 18DAI

I think it went for a 1911 but not sure.

who in their right mind would trade a quality 1911 (colt or above) for any 45xx 3rd generation Smith made?

Well it's now pending sale and after looking back at his ad I think it went for less than $500.

Okay, when you find all these surplus integrally-railed LEO trade-ins for a few bucks and flip them for a fortune I will rejoice that you've been so blessed - it's likely that any agency wouldn't know what they've got and would surplus them just like all the others. As long as you know the integrally-railed ones aren't a dime a dozen.

Huh? Since when? I'm sure some have been very used but all I've ever seen the most "use" they got was holster wear. I own a bunch of LEO guns and all about on par with a typical used gun.

I think anyone looking for a .45 that works straight out of the box with no problems or gunsmithing or need to buy a dozen different brands of magazines to find which type it will work with, would prefer a 3rd gen .45 to a 1911.
And they won't need to pay $1500 or $2100 or whatever the magic number is that 1911 fans claim you need to pay to get a reliable 1911.

Eh, I'm not much of a seller or trader, but for a working gun, I'd take the 3rd Gen every time. I'm a 1911 fan and own or have owned guns from Colt, Springfield and Kimber. After carrying them and shooting them for years, I've moved on to other guns for duty use. Harsh reality is everyone I've owned required work to get it to run right out of be box. They then required regular attention to keep them running.
Just my personal experience. To each his own!

These guns are not readily available. I would snap it up, but that's just me.

I may be wrong but I don't believe these 4006TSW (integral rail version) are or were issued to CDC. The ones on the open market must be from a retired officer's personal collection as the CHP has not sold these to the distributors as of yet. The 4006s the CHP released to distributors years ago were done so when the department transitioned to the new 4006TSW with the integral rail. The pistols that were not purchased by the officers themselves were then sold to a wholesaler.
The older CHP 4006s had adjustable sights, slide mounted safety, beveled mag well, solid steel recoil guide rod and etched with an additional control # on the frame. The current 4006TSW has a the integral equipment rail, slide mounted decocker only (no safety), fixed Novak sights, beveled mag well, steel recoil guide rod and a "CHP" prefix serial #. Hope this helps.

You can buy another colt or whatever. You shoot good one, you've shot them all.

I don't own anything in 40 S&W, nor do I have any desire to, but when these guns hit the surplus market I can almost guarantee that I'll be buying one just to have.

This is my first 40. I'm hoping I don't get bit with that bug like I did the 45.
