impulse buy bad?

I just purchased an used XDm 3.8 .45 for $589 + tax at a gun & pawn. I don't regret the type of gun but I feel I got ripped. I'm awaiting the 3 day period until tuesday. What do you guys think? Glad to be here BTW

Just my personal preference. I'm sure they bought that xdm from someone for 200-250 only.

Alot of gun shops buy, sell, & trade, so is it ok in your opinion to buy used from them?
I've seen alot of people get some really good deals at pawn shops, which alot of times sell new firearms as well.

You can tell it is used by the wear on the chamber from the slide and heat marks near the pin and a lil dust in the grooves here and there, but other than that it looks excellent. I feel a little uneasy not knowing how it was treated or if anything is wrong with it that was undiscovered by me or the shop. Next time i'll buy new.

Thanks for the welcome

Man I wouldn't worry, I'd take it home clean & lube it good. Then go shoot the heck out of it. Unless it was just totally neglected it'll be fine. Springfield also has a lifetime warranty!

Thanks. I needed some reassurance. For the warranty do i have to be the original owner? or is it like craftsman's warranty?
