I know there's police trade ins galore but they're usually fairly worn condition. Is there a market for these?

The shop I work in has had a few DA only come through and they went for between $500 an $600. In the year and a half I have been there have not had a double/single come in.

Locally, S&W 3rd Gens are the proverbial red-headed stepchild of the gun world (SA/DA or DAO, it makes no difference). $300, maybe $400 if minty with box and all accessories. Personally, I like 'em, but I seem to be the minority opinion.

Personally, I like 'em, but I seem to be the minority opinion. Ditto. Even the TSWs don't really pull a premium that I've noticed. I think I paid $300 for a 5946 and $400 for a single-stack 4053.

Some of the .45 and 10mms have some desirability along with the smaller 9mms (3913/etc) but the full size .40s aren't high demand items and tons of trade ins have been dumped on the market.

Now the 6906 is $400 all day. We have a 4506 right now for $650 and it's a nice pistol but not real nice. I nee to make a road trip!

The crazy part is the workmanship and quality on these pistols is so stellar. I think eventually one day more 3rd gen S&W's will be collectable.
