M&P 45C Value

[shooter1911]

I have a very low round count 45C with Warren Tactical night sights, a S&W factory 5.5lb trigger job, and a thumb safety that is in the box because I removed it and added filler plugs from S&W. Therefore someone can use the safety or leave it off. I have the original box with all magazines and paper work. I recently replaced the recoil spring which I ordered from S&W.

As much as I love this gun, it never gets used or carried because I am so heavily invested in 1911s, which I carry on a daily basis.

My question is what is the market value of this gun these days? I would like to sell it FTF in the Dallas Fort Worth area, but will consider shipping to an FFL anywhere. Your input is appreciated.

In Southeast Louisiana you would most likely get $300-$350.

Move to CA and get $1000. Of course the cost of the move would offset your selling price.

I tried to ship a guy a handgun in California once. Never again, it ain't worth the hassle.

Sadly, I have to agree with these numbers. Customized mass produced guns are like customized mass produced cars, you rarely get the money back on the extras you put on them.

Not really looking to get extra for custom stuff. I am just trying to determine a fair price to list the gun. So far the input has not been pretty, but helpful.

FWIW, I've had one on my GunBroker watchlist for some time now.
It's at $339 and no bids at all.

Would be listed for $450 or so here, would likely sell for $400.
I've got the same gun.

I was actually thinking if I could get $400 with 3 mags plus a 10 rounder with an Xgrip and Ctac/Mtac holster I would be pleased. Anything less would lead me to keep the gun. I love the gun, I just don't need it.
