went to the gun show in monroville today? boy did it go down hill. verry small and few deals. i took an officers model 45 that lists for between 450 and 550 used and the best offer i got was 325. i know they are there to make money but come on. i was looking to trade it for a smith & wesson m&p 45. one guy had a used one for 475 and when i suggested an even trade for my 1911 with 3 mags and a galco holster he all but laughed. he said the best he would do was 300. so i politely closed the case and told him i was going to look elsewhere.

Greed rules.... unfortunately. You got crap... "they" got gold. Go online to Gunbroker.com or Guns International. Put a reserve on what you want to sell and let the bidding begin. Be a creative salesman too. Millions of buyers out there not just a few at a gunshow.

i didnt need to sell it i was just looking to trade. when my wife found out i took it to try to trade she gave me grief because she really likes the gun and wants me to transfer it into her name. so it looks like i may be buying a new m&p 45 soon.

Ok, I'm corrected. I thought you were looking to sell first and trade as a last resort. Good luck in your dealings.

Did you buy a reloading outfit yet? I load 45 colt (1976 model Ruger Blackhawk)and Firestorm 45 ACP Compact with my own cast bullets for fun and have Federal and Win. defensive loads for my auto. I sometimes also carry a 38 and 32 along with my 45 depending on where I have to go.I load for the 38 also. A day to load and 15 min to shoot all you loaded, what fun!
