Trade in value

You always lose on any trade, I tried to trade a flawless handgun in today on a .380 and the guy says "we already got two, I don't want it". OK well one is consignment, one is yours, neither have the case and both your pieces look like someone used them as a shovel, whereas mine doesn't. Screw em, I'll carry my full frame handgun.

A .380 ! What are you going to do with that ? You'd have more stopping power if you were to give someone a monkey bite !

Yeah there's always that argument but the truth is if it's going down it's likely to be at close range, shoot someone center mass with a .22 it's going to suck. It's not happening anyway so I'll just have to accept the "commander" bulge. I would never sell that piece anyway but I'm not crazy about carrying it cocked and locked. I was trying to trade in the 9mm but clearly it's worth more to me than a dealer.

PS The real agent I know sometimes carries a smally and my po po cousin has a .38 airweight which is pretty sweet too.
