I recently purchased a NIB Taurus 66 stainless 6" .357 for about $360. I have really enjoyed this gun, no problems at all with 433 rounds fired (113 or over 1/4 of which were .357s). As much as I like it, I am running into two problems: First, I have found the 6" barrel to a bit clumsy and awkward for a night stand gun, oops. Second, I'm firing a greater percentage of magnum rounds than I thought I would, so I am a bit concerned with the longevity of a relatively light S&W L-frame-based gun standing up to the Magnum abuse I am giving it over a long period. What can I say, I really like things that go BOOM!!!
For these reasons, I am concerning trading the Taurus 66 for a NIB Ruger GP-100 4" stainless, specifically a KGP-141 http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/FAProdView?model=1705&return=Y. I'd like to keep the Taurus, but just can't afford to buy a new gun without putting some dough down from a sale. I saw a KGP-141 at a local gunshop recently for $505, which seemed a little steep.
My question is, what could I expect to get for trade on my Taurus (I know, they depreciate like a Cavalier, no offense to those that own one )? Would it be worth it to try to sell it myself, or is it not worth the hassle? Also, what have others been paying for their GP-100s?
