off roster mp 45 value? 700?

[Red9]

curious,
I might be doing a trade, and in the trade is a almost new sw/m&p 45. Pistol is dated 2005, has been fired 50 rounds. Looks clean. No safety, lci. Off roster pistol.
Is this worth 700.00? has box, two mags, two backstraps.
thanks

not sure about a pistol 10yrs old and only having 50rounds through it ...but $500 to $550 cash or trade value would be a price range I would pay for this type of pistol weather it has 50 or 1500 rounds through it .

hope the picture came out?

At least in my opinion in renting, the early M&P's had a sub-par trigger and sub-par barrel mechanical accuracy. Yes, even in the 45 caliber.

Personally I would factor in Apex and a barrel upgrade. No opinion on price, it's off roster, blah. Well, you are more informed now than before .

Good heads up! Actually i may do the trade anyways. I sold my 1911 and at times miss seeing bigger holes than the 40s. I am trading a rifle for the pistol.
Hope to do the dirty deed friday!
Sigh another trip to sac...

Wait? You mean they all don't suck like that? How do we tell uf the newer barrel was installed?

If the title of the ad says "OFF ROSTER" in it, you know you will get ******.

I bought a 18 year old USP 45 that was UNFIRED.... it can happen.

That may be your experience, but that is not mine. My M&P 45 remains (for some mysterious reason), the most accurate of my handguns. I did put an Apex kit in it, and now love the trigger. Never had any problems with accuracy in the .45. I did have some problems with my 9mm, but in usual fashion, S&W replaced the barrel & slide at no charge to me, when it was 5 yrs old. Now, no problems with that either.

I do agree that $700 seems a little high, unless you really want one Now!

Well I have shot a few and they seem to be really hit and miss. When I saw one in 2007, we literally could not hit the side of a barn with it. I remember the trigger was quite awful and even with the apex kits they have now it still kind of meh. The ergos and the looks of the gun are quite good though.

I think you'd get $650 if you listed it at that, it's an off roster gun and unless you're LE, have LE friends, or a parent/grandparent out of state it's going to be a pain to get.


I do think your be better off waiting a few months to sell though
