Way over priced Scott. I have seen used ones going for 350-400. They are nice guns, I looked at them before. Guy at a gun show wanted to trrade my mini for one with a few grips and what not. They seem solid but for 500 you can buy a new xd, or glock. Both have ambi mag release, and no safety needed. If we go shoot this weekend I will bring my xd out again and let you shoot it somemore. The 250 is ok but, the price used is high.
