I wonder what my early 1990s German Mastershop X5 Level 1 would bring?
Actually the Gen 1 models generally bring less than the later Mastershop X Series. I own three Gen 1 X Series Sigs.

By the way, you’re way off on the production date. Those guns came about during the 2000’s.

On folded slides, was it the HK P9S that was super cheap made slide and then super buff parts?
The HK put the cost of the gun into the internals. The plastic frame costing and trigger guard, along with the folded steel slide with elements of cost savings, yes.

I own a couple Sport Group III models, including this super rare dual caliber set.

Thank you for the confirmation! I kinda was recalling that was the case with the P9S.

That's a super interesting package. Nice sir

Yes. The "from parts, last before 2020 closure" X-Fives are the ones currently going for $8K.

The Gen 1 slides are definitely lower value. That internal extractor was fine, kinda not a quality now that Armory Craft is the last people making replacements.

Probably not. It’s basically a gem 2 Fusion, which was based on the old Sphinx SDP. Great pistols, but the Redback and Drake are more my speed.

The only reason I’d get a Predator is to have an Alien vs Predator shootout.

That new X-Six sold for 3,500. That is extremely low. Those were 6-8K like a year ago.

My best used handgun deal was buying a 2009 P226 in 357 sig, paid $600 back in 2017 . Also came with a extra .40 barrel . Flawless cycling but its a handfull to shoot, shes got some stout recoil. Its interesting as mine came with aluminum grips, supposedly all original.
