Title pretty much says it all.

I don't shoot this gun very much and was thinking about taking it to the gun show this weekend. What's a good asking price?

2 mags, original tupperware box, ALS installed laser and all docs. Very lightly used, never been in a holster.

I'm fairly certain there were no gen 1 g23's, correct me if I'm wrong. Gen1's were on a few 17's

Pretty sure it is Gen I, bought it in early 92 so, it could be Gen II. I just don't recall whether or not the front and back straps are checkered.

I'll put pics up later.

Now that we've established that it's Gen 2, does anyone have a value estimate?

Pics in OP definitely Gen II.

Laser works just fine, holds zero at 15yds.

So.....what would be a good asking price?

The laser adds no value in my mind.

I would say $375 max.

Is that laser permanently installed?

I'd agree that the laser doesn't add anything. I'd say you might be able to pull in $350, but probably a bit lower... the wear on it doesn't look bad at all, but most people want the "newest". That said, some like the grips without the grooves, so if you find one of those guys they'll probably jump on it in that condition.

I would imagine the holes cut into the frame for that type of laser setup might decrease value, but I'm no expert. Shrug.
