Well I was able to pick up my M&P9 today from Nate. I bought it from Buds for $353 shipped with insurance. It came with three mags that all have quite a bit of finish wear on the corners. It also came in the original box with sm, md and large back straps, and the spent shell casing from the factory. The serial on the shell casing envelope matches my gun and says it was test fired in 2008.
Really the only places where the finish is worn through is on the corners of the night sights. The night sights still glow but being my first set I have nothing to compare them to. The magazine well looks like the magazines have been ran in and out about a million times. Honestly the inside of the well and the outside of the gun look like two different guns. Every review of trade in guns says they are filthy and this one did not disappoint. It is unbelievable to me still that someone that bets their life on a gun would let one get this dirty.
Overall I am very happy so far. It is pretty much exactly what I was expecting and for the price I don't think it will ever decrease in value. I plan on cleaning it tonight and trying it out tomorrow.
