I'm pleased with my P1. It's a sophisticated design, and what's more it's almost immaculate. It has strong holster wear in just a couple of spots, on the plastic grips mostly, the plastic grips are squashed and worn smooth of checkering in alot of places.
There is holster were on the left side and top of the slide a bit, in a small band, and tiny spots on the sights.
On the slide the wear is superficial, just a polishing of the bluing which is matte everywhere.
The bottom of the magazine is very well worn in the place that the latch contacts it. Like the magazine was removed daily for years. The follower and feed lips have just a bit of wear though, very light.
The bore is immaculate. The bluing is barely worn off the sharp edges of the rifling, and the rifling is sharp and crisp.
The feed ramp is lightly touched.
I think that this gun spent some of it's time carried on the hip of some german cop, some time in storage, and maybe shot two or three boxes of cartridges in it's whole life.
A good buy as they're still on sale from tradex at $225.
*** update, I field stripped it and there's a big chunk cracked off the side of the barrel locking block, it might not affect function, but I'm not going to find out, I sent tradex an email to see how they'll fix it, I'll update the thread as needed.
