i get to shoot more guns by trading. I trade or buy a gun then shoot it...if i love it i keep it if i dont then trade for something new. I dont have a bunch of $$$ so i get to own more cool guns (even if only for a little while) by trading.

I have sold or traded very guns. Most of what I have bought, I had coveted for some time, saved and saved the money to buy. So I would never sell.
A few I bought because they were to good a deal to pass and I could use for trade or resell.

Yessir! I've got only one rifle that I would NEVER sell--you know which one it is, too! But, hey, Lurker66 has got a lightweight BHP he's thinking of selling....

It was a fleeting thought. My daughter really likes it and she ain't broke. Told her it's worth 7 but I'd take 6.

Shoot, send the slide to Novak's for night sights, get the left side only of the stock Browning MK III ambi safety from Brownell's, get a Hi Power guy to install it for you, and refinish it in CeraKote or something similar, and you or her one would have a very fine carry gun.

I almost traded away my S&W 640 today. It's my favorite Carry gun. I had a different on back in 97, traded it away. Regretted it for years until I bought this one back in 07. I swore I'd never get rid of it. But earlier today I offered it in a trade that fell thru.

Why do we do these things?

Yep we do these things. I'd hang on to it. I just bought a Ruger Super Blackhawk.44 mag. Didn't get the box but it's almost the same vintage as the one I bought new in 1972...when I traded it I was temporarily insane.
