Here's your previous thread asking about your IJ-70.

Value is still about $100-150 even in like-new condition. They only cost 150-175 new back in the early 90's.

I will have to add that the hi-cap models usually bring less than the regular single-stack models. Spare mags for hi-cap model are hard to come by. The ProMags are okay, but just as ill-feeding as the factory mags.

Take it out and shoot the dickens out of it. They're good little shooters but not a real hot collector item.

As previously stated the single stack would be preferable for magazine availability,

But otherwise...these little pistols just impress the heck out of me!
My IJ-70 shoots dead nuts on point of aim at 25 yards and at that distance I kid you not I can give 7-Up cans hell with this little auto.
