Hey the market seems flooded with these ones right now - pretty unusual to see B-stock items. How bad are the blemishes? Most retailers are selling them for the same prices as the unblemished models and nobody has photos of the actual guns posted.
Also - are any coming up without the threaded barrel?
I would take one if they actually sold them for a real deal since they are blemished. Like 30% off or something
I have seen a number of these "Blemished" guns in person, handled and inspected about 30 of them or so personally... In my experiance the biggest Blemish is the letter B they engrave on the slide. Most of the guns the blems are so minor you would not be able to find them. Out of the blems I could find one had slightly light anodizing under the optics plate, another had a mill line with a small bur that wasn't removed before anodizing. I have seen much worse condition guns come as "brand new" without being labeled a blemish. Based on the ones I have seen I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

shadow systems explaining things. Supposed to be $200 USD cheaper than the non marked models… spoke with a retailer that didn’t even know they were selling them as blemished. Said the ones they have are marked with a B but blemished, that they were purposefully marked this way in order to get them up to the Canadian market.
Guess it’s too late to decide to be picky but still would be nice to not have to stare at a big B on the slide, especially if it’s for no reason.
How much were these before the ban? Or were they always these prices? I saw an awesome price mr920L at siwash then it sold the next day. About 200 cheaper then everyone else they had it for.
For now I have a 48 on the way with ameriglo I will put dot on it and call it a day.
