Restricted barrel and compensator. Not sport model but similar.
condomboy is right. That's the golden rule when it comes to selling used guns!
Is it a 9mm or a .45ACP? The .45 is rarer and more desirable for collectors. I wouldn't have even thought that there were any .45's in Canada, but I spend too much time chatting with "Nemo" (Roger) at my local range to harbour such illusions any longer. If it is legal to bring in, somebody will do it, and somebody else will buy what that importer brings in. That's where the price thing comes in.
The prohib ones, like a standard P9S 9mm, the prohib status has slaughtered the value on those. When they come up for sale now they go for South of $1,000 and that trend will only get worse in the future. The very few re-barreled restricted ones (I have one) seem to go for around $1,250 to $1,350.
The compensator ones, also very rare. ARMTAC brought in a few of them last year and I am trying to remember what they sold them for. It was a fair bit. I think about $3,000. But everything goes on the details. If you had something in really pristine condition, with original box, manual, mags, etc. it could go really high. Something that is of little or no interest to collectors, the value will start to go down just as fast.
You have to remember too, most of the P9's are like 1970s era. Most of the ones I have seen actually precede the HK date coding system, which I think starts in 1980. These are guns from 40 years ago! It's not like anybody is going to buy one to compete in IPSC, or as a first gun, or a gun for their wife, etc. They are collector guns. If it is in good condition, collectors will pay for it. If it only has value as a shooter, price probably drops off precipitously.

Because it is a franken gun in my opinion i put it around 800 to 900 tops. It has been refinished. Barrel is custom. Compensator is added. Not factory. so i think im out on it. Thanks for the help. It was 9mm. I am aware and have seen many p9s 45s and would like a sport model in 45.
I dont know if those "many" you saw were in Canada. If so you're quite a lucky guy! I've been looking for one in .45 for a very long time and it seems like they are unobtanaium up here.
So it was originally a prohib which was rebarreled to restricted and the comp was added to make it look like a Sport model? It will need the tall sights with the comp, won't it?
I bought this one with 2 original mags and 1 aftermarket mag for... $1,350 I think. It changed hands like 4-5 times on the EE here, and I think it probably went up in price about $50-$100 each time. Shoots very accurate. The target sights look a bit weird, but at about 7m it is right dead-to-rights on the sights and will shoot ragged hole groups.
If I were selling your gun I would probably try and start a bit high (like around what I paid for mine), and gauge interest from there. As a restricted, if you put it up sub-$1,000 it will sell instantly.

For anyone interested, I may be making a mistake but I will not be purchasing the p9s i have been talking about. It is at EPPS. They have sent me pictures already and I will gladly forward them to you if you are interested in the unit just pm me your email.
