Runnin2live Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) I was able to luck into a low round count vintage Tripp original in 38 super. This is one tight gun. The original owner was a friend of Virgil Tripp. I spoke directly to him and remembers the build. My dilemma here is, my son and I shoot glock mainly for limited and open and not sure I want to hang onto this one. I have seen some of these go for the $1500 range but just wanted some help with it. Just to make it clear, not looking to sale just some value help. My open guns are glocks and recent builds Edited August 3, 2014 by Runnin2live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Wow, I remember when Dave Dawson came out with that mount. $1500 would be a reasonable price range if you had some mags. It would be a great starter for a new shooter. Virgil built some great pistols and one heck of a nice guy. If you decide to sell, I think that you will move it with out much trouble. It would need some upgrades , but nothing major. After looking at the pic closer, is the comp have a standard bushing, or a cone bushing lock up ? The standard bushing is very old school and if that is the set up, it would change the price drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnin2live Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 It is the standard bushing not the cone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnin2live Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Some more details I should have added before; full length guide rod with a non captured spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanttolearn Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) i've been looking around for a while now, checking prices. in my estimation, with a couple of mags that would probably be a very fair price....not a bargain but a very fair price. i say this because a new buyer would likely want to replace the magwell, slide racker, optic etc. Edited August 4, 2014 by wanttolearn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnin2live Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 I agree with all of y'all's thoughts. My next steps, slide racker being fit right now. That one was a pain. I have a cmore ready just need to get a mount. Magwell will be soon after that. I also need a new holster. I am left handed so there aren't many second hand out there. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
