sportingarms.com has them brand new at $1379. Just have to decide what new is worth to you. I dont like having used things such as guns cars,dirt bikes ect. If 400 bucks is a big savings to you go for it. I would check the warranty details though. Call les baer and ask if you can still retain the warranty.
Personally i could justify 400 bucks for a new one by feeling better about my purchase. I would rather spend 400 more and be 100 percent happy then spend 1000 and be kinda happy.
Good luck deciding man.

aj Hi Gates, I'm just a poor old country boy from the hills in North Carolina but If you have tried the gun out and everything was good IMHO $400.00 savings is a good savings and if you plan on shooting hard ball ammo then you are set, but if you ever want to shoot some souped up JHP P+ ammo you may should try a few of those also. On a personal note I love the PowR Ball ammo from Cor-Bon in my Kimber Pro Carry SS, Just my .02. BE SAFE

gates, That is not a bad price. Do you know how many round were put through the weapon before the 100 you put through it. How is the finish on it. Do not shoot +p ammo through Les Baer guns, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

If you like the weapon and you think it is worth the $950.00 I would say get it. It all comes down to what you think. $950.00 probably for any LB is worth it as long as it has not been rode hard and thrown away wet.

Good luck in you decision.

[Cked&Lcked]

Called LB because others on another forum had mentioned it and called also. They advised me it is not recommended to shoot them. Could void the non-stated warranty.

All I can say like I was told is call and ask. Very friendly people to deal with.

Hope this helps ya, Enjoy.

I am so much wanting a Stinger. Cannot decide on Stainless or buying it Blue and letting Tripp Chrome it.

Is Sporting Arms about the cheapest place to purchase from? I bought the TRS through them and saved quite a bit.

Input?

I changed my p2 order from a stainless to hard chrome finish because I was told stainless is a softer metal. All I know is they won't do a 1.5" in stainless because of galling. I think either would be fine but that is just my opinion. If it were me I would just order it with the hard chrome finish. I would be interested in seeing what others have to say.
After seeing other guns I like the hard chrome finish.

pajohnohio - Let us know which way you went on your "Stinger Quest". If you want my vote - I would get the Blued gun, let it age a little (or a lot) and then decide if you liked the worn-in look or want it refinished. IMHO a worn-in blued gun just looks "right". The only problem I could see is if you lived in a very salty/humid climate.

As for Sporting Arms - That's where I ordered my PII from. I looked around the 'net, but couldn't beat their prices. They provided good service and quick delivery.
