I have a P97 that I bought new in 1997 or so, and only paid about $300 for it (I wanted a 45acp and it was the least expensive one in the store). I've been offered $400 for this gun by guys at the range, but won't sell it. Although I hardly ever fire it, over the years it has worked flawlessly, never once failing to perform as designed. I've thought of it as a possible carry gun but it is a little large for that, in my opinion. When it comes right down to it, I just like this gun, and enjoy owning it too much to sell it for even $400. Now if some crazy offered me $800, then it would be probably be sold.
