Is this for real? They look pretty rough. I dunno what do you guys think?

They do look rough. Are you looking for a shooter or just a nice piece of history? Or both?

[jyo]

Yeah, looks like they been around---still probably decent shooters for those who don't mind a bit of history showing or they might make a good project gun. Nice P35s are going for at least high $650s+ (750-850?) on the used market---so keep that in mind.

I bought much better looking (and refurbed) HiPower on GB for the same price. From what I've seen - quite a few other CG'ers did also.

By "GB" I'm assuming you mean gunbroker? I've never bought anything from that site before. Maybe I should look for a hi power there.

Royaltiger says they are not C&R then can you buy them??

[Can't buy anything here]

Finish don't matter too much for a shooter or if you plan to refinish..but no way of telling how the internals are...they could be shot out...

[littlejake]

Overpriced junk, IMO. If not C&R, you probably cannot get them into CA.

I got one a while back, was a paper weight. Now that they are down to "force matched" guns, not a freaking chance I would even consider it.

I agree with this. It is nice that they are honest about it.

[JNunez23]

Agreed! Nice they are upfront and honest, though I think they may have way too many rounds shot through them.

Yes you can get these in CA without the SSE.

The thing is these do look a little too beat up for that price. I think you could do better on GB for a shooter fixer upper.

What is a force matched gun?
What does it mean to be force matched?

It's for real, but not really a good deal. I got a mint Mk III with a bunch of mags for $450 last year, there are more good deals out there.
