I hope the buyers are happy with their used guns.
I can't see the price their getting.
The FBI should sell their out of date weapons themselves and use the proceedes to purchase new.
Taxpayer Purchased US Government Issued Weapons are no longer "surplused" and sold, they are cut up and scrapped.
The Bureau canceled the contract with S&W due to defective weapons. While in "transition training" 3 of the 5 guns in our group broke. Actual parts broke off. All our guns were returned to Quantico. When i retired i was offered to buy my old broken/fixed 1076 for $200.00. Turned it down. Good luck to the guy who buys those.
Who's brilliant idea was that? Sounds like a total waste of money.
I still have my 1076 FBI model, new in box, never fired. Mags, screwdriver, manual, even the original vapor paper and, I think, plastic baggies for the mags. I think I paid $300 for it back when they had the contract overrun/issues and you could buy them cheap. I recall they also had problems with the grip size for some of the smaller-handed agents. It's a big gun, for sure!
Stay safe. RPR
