Made a good trade....  Got rid of my glock 23 awhile back for a H&K, its nice, but kind of miss the 23, well I ended up giving a very used model 17 for a brand new 23 fired once... Guy at work had it, he had the 22 as well and liked the bigger frame, and thought it would be neat to have the nine....Kind of made my day.. I did give him 5 mags and a couple boxes of ammo though....

So you gave him a G17, 5 mags and some ammo for his 23 (with I assume 2 mags and no ammo)? Sorry but I think he got the better end of that deal. I realize your 17 was used and his G23 was almost new but with Glocks, that doesn't matter much IMO. Not too mention the fact you will now be paying almost twice as much for ammo.

Your buddy is the one who should be here bragging!

Sorry man, I'm just giving you some shit. If your happy with the trade then that's all that matters!

Well I got the gun from the money I  won from a lotto ticket..so it was free......I never really cared for 9mm's but I bought the g-17 from a friend...It had some pretty good holster wear and the night sights seem to be losing some of the glow.  The new 23 has only been shot once.....  yes he got 5 mags, but they are not very much used.....

I had very little 9mm rounds, but have a ton of 40 rounds.....  I bought the glock for 450, sold the holster he gave me with it for 25(didnt like it) so 425, and I think the new 40 is worth 425, which is what I sold my last one for.......  either way I have the model 23 back which I like and he has the 17 and the 22......

If you got what you wanted it isn't that bad a deal. Granted I don't think that you came out like a bandit, but neither did he. So enjoy the 23, I sure do like mine.

Yea , I don't think either of us came out ahead, except he got what he wanted and I did as well...So  I think it was a good trade... A new gun for a used one, and in the caliber I want..

Cool.   I'd say you BOTH came out ahead, as you both got what you wanted.

Yeah, that G23 brand new would be worth more than 425, so I'd say you did good.

Now start reloadin' so you can laugh in the face of all who point to the "horribly expensive" .40!  That's what I do!

I do reload, but got out of it for  awhile, and just started to get back into it.......  Just got 1000 rnds of speer lawman in 40 on the sportsmansguide  for like 85 bucks (500)HAD 10 dollar off coupon...it says blemished though, heck I will give it a try...
