burntcrispy Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Lately I've been looking to get a double stack pistol for IPSC/USPSA. I've got a friend who wants to sell one that he has because he never uses it. We haven't discussed price so I was wondering if you guys could tell me what you think this pistol would be worth. I'm kind of a noob to STI/SVI so I really appreciate the advice. The setup: SVI lower, STI slide, standard length dust cover, Briley barrel, all Ed Brown parts, Dawson front sight, Bo Mar rear sight. Very low round count built by a top notch gunsmith. (I'm not worried about reliablity because I completely trust this individual and he is going to give me the pistol for a month to try out). Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Lots of things unsaid here.... Where are you is one of them. Some places have a little (or Lot) higher prices than others. $1,500 plus depending..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Too much left out. Caliber? Ought to be .40 for a doublestack Limited. Pass on anything else. Finish? Blue, Chrome? Special millwork? Light slide? Textured grip? Picture would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral404 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 $1500 is towards the top. A great shaped SVI would be about $1800. Yours is a SVI/STI so it sounds like it was built by someone. A great price including 1 140 mag would be $1200. A friend of mine paid around $1500 for a Bedell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntcrispy Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Sorry guys. .40 cal, no mags, black teflon type composite finish, custom build, southwestern US area. This isn't a safequeen but a pistol built specifically for comptetition. (no frills, just performance). Thanks again for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Still not enough to really give you a "value" If it was built by a reputable smith *and* he stands behind it, could be worth $1500-1800. If it was built by a guy who calls himself a smith while he experiments with other people's money... it will cost you more to "fix" it than it is worth. At the end of the day, it is worth whatever you decide it is worth. If you make an offer, contingent on either an inspection period or a try-it-out-at-the-range-day, and it passes your insoection, great. If the seller says "no" to inspecting or trying it, that may tell you a lot. $.02 Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdaym8 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Other than the gun consider this also, each mag runs about $80-100. I will say, it will bump you up at least one classification within short order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
