The problem is I’m not looking to buy, I’m looking to trade. But what you mentioned is within the same value as the firearm I’m looking to trade. I’m still working on my 50 so I can interact and post in the marketplace. This post was to give insight into what might be the best firearm to trade. But I’ll have to look for the post you the mentioned. ThanksThat's pushing up into S&W Performance Center price range, and I paid significantly less than that for my Shield Plus 3.1" PC (which I'm really happy with) - Currently a standard non-optic cut Shield Plus is available for $400 @ Range, with optics ready still south of $500.
Honestly, there's a low round count optics ready Shield Plus PC ported with the 4" barrel for sale in the Ingo classifieds for $550 from a longtime member with an extremely good reputation (gotta go 4 or 5 pages deep, but it's there). Seems like a no-brainer to me given everything you've said in this thread. I'd have snatched it up no hesitation had I not been set on the 3.1" barrel.
I'd link it, but I'm not sure if I can do that per forum rules?
I planned on giving quite a few firearms a run to find which one feels and performs the best. Thank you for the advice.Do not listen to anyone that says "Buy this". Find an instructor that will offer you the chance to explain things to you, and let you try many. Do this often, helps to have your own range. Regularly surprised by what an informed person selects.
