I saw a pre-ban Springfield Armory Stainless 9mm Para at the local gun shop today. It was on consignment and had just arrived. I was the first to take a look at it. It was interesting to handle seeing that post ban SA guns are illegal in Mass. It felt good and the asking price was $350. It came with one mag and papers but no box.

Seeing you can't buy these in my state, I'm not sure if this is a good price for the gun. I tried doing a search on this site but didn't find out to much about this particular model other then a bunch of posts saying other SA models were pretty good overall.

Needless to say I'm intested in picking it up if you all feel the price is about right. Also, is there anything I should look for in regards to this model? Any wear & tear items to check prior to buying?

Thanks for the information.

My wife is gonna kill me if I come home with another gun. I'll have to pick up something for her before I show her it.
