Your thoughts. The difference is about $200. The seller claims to have shot a tin or two. Grips are pretty clean. The seller is reputable. No way of knowing though if it is 3rd hand (4th hand, etc.).
I figure that a tin or two is hardly a broken in gun - which wouldn't be a bad idea since it saves me the trouble of doing the breaking in myself.
Then again, nobody has hired somebody to walk in a pair of new cowboy boots to break 'em in...
But yes, I've bought a second hand car and was happy.
Guys, this is an existential and emotional problem. If you had the spare cash, would you?
Thanks..
FWB P40 to buy new or 2nd hand?

The P40 goes for $1815 at Pilkguns, so you're saying $1600? For that kind of money I would go with a new gun and have the assurance of great dealer support, and no questions about inheriting some one else's troubles. The break point in my mind would be closer to $1300. Besides, I think the P40 is overpriced; for $1400 you can get a new Steyr LP10.
BTW, I don't think breaking in one of these AP's is an issue.
