Need to know if this is a good deal?

[week_man]

I've been calling around along the gulf coast to anyone who might carry an STI Edge so I can go handle it before making a final decision and one of the shops I called that no longer sells guns calls his friend who calls me... Anyway he happens to be selling an Edge with less than 1000 rounds through and 3 mags he and his friend tuned with, I think he said, Grams followers in them. Hes selling it because he bought an Apeiro about a week after purchasing the Edge and wants to fund a new open gun also. Oh yes, and the Edge is in 40, same as what I was searching for. Also note, I haven't seen the gun yet to verify any wear and tear on it, if this makes a difference in the decision.

So does a STI Edge with < 1000 rounds through it and 3 "tuned" mags sound like a good deal for $2000 or should a go lower, or just disregard this and get a new one from Dawson Precision with their tuned mags for around $2300?

I know that was a mouthful, I'm open to any and all criticism given.

Thanks for your input!

And I just realized I put this in the completely wrong forum! Could a moderator please move it to the appropriate location. Thank you, and sorry!

If your looking for an Edge, here is one worked by Brazos, with 4 tuned mags in the classified section:

"Tuned" mags go for aprox. $100 a piece, assuming the have good basepads, and hold at least 19-20 rounds each. That makes the gun price about $1700. Thats about right. So no, it's not a killer deal, but it's okay.

I sold my edge with about 1200 rounds through it the other day. Came with the one factory mag, case, all factory papers, 3# trigger and Dawson fiber optic sights for $1700 and that included shipping.

You can get a chromed tuned Edge for 2200, new.

I'm sure you could find someone with one, at any local USPSA match who'd let you look at it, but honestly I wouldn't hesitate to recommend buying a Brazo's HP Edge new, I love mine.

PS.

I just got another job to help fund this next purchase so hopefully I'll have enough in a few weeks to make a final decision and hopefully talk him down a tad bit if I don't find a better deal by the.

That Brazos looks like its in fantastic condition, if by some miracle its still here in a few weeks I'ma have to check it out.

Thanks for the help fellas!

Thanks for the feedback guys, I ended up going with the Brazos Edge for sale in the classifieds, my first 2011.

Definitely will be set for a while gun wise, now just more practice!
