This is not a Sport, it's the regular M&P.

Depends on how bad you want it. Still excellent deal at current bid -- remember the 15 minute rule with gunbroker

Well, I don't need it, but I wouldn't mind having something to lose the next time I go boating. I'm understanding that this is better quality than the 'sport' and 'sport II' models?

Anyway, what's it worth going up to? $ 400? $ 425? More? I see the Sport II's selling for about $ 500 or even a little less, with some extras, like a red dot, or a bag, light and forward assist. Would I rather have one of those?

You can buy a kit from Palmetto State Armory and also a lower receiver from them.

A few tools and some patience you can have exactly what you want for $500 ( or less ). A set of roll pin punches and an armorer's wrench ( $20 ) plus a few tools from home ( allen wrenches , screwdriver , hammer ) and you can assemble it.

PSA is a manufacturer so by them selling direct, they cut out the middleman and the mark up.

I get that, I'd just feel more comfortable with a 'name brand,' Looks like this went over 4. I just have no idea what these go for, all I have seen advertised new are the sport II's.

PSA is a manufacturer for the name brands

It's easy to assemble. Look at the link, plenty of pictures

Hmmm...I see that you have taken over my job of peddling PSA products!

I would probably not want to add up all the stuff I've bought from them, and steered coworkers, and others to buy from them. Their stuff is first rate, and obviously I swear by them. And hell, putting it together how you want is gratifying to me.

My lake fishing magnet hooked a PSA .45 caliber 1911 recently. 3 digit serial number.Nice, tight gun which looks suspiciously like a Rock Island piece even down to remarkable similarity in the logo. It shoots well and I really like the price! It will likely be a bottom end donor for the SIG .22 top end I found in the woods.
