Shawn, I value the opinion of my associate George Anderson but have to respectfully disagree with his overly optismistic price structure on the pistol and magazine. My analysis is based on several things all condition related.

Your pistol IMO has been reblued. The inside frame rails appear to be blued and they should be in the white. Maybe it is the photography but they sure look blued to me.

The trigger guard is pretty mangled/dented. So is the left side of the pistol. These two faults pretty much drop the value to right at a shooter level IMO.

The FXO magazine is poor finish too and in this economy I would value your mag at $100-125. I have seen really nice ones selling recently at $185
