Can someone PM me a link to where I can find out the estimated value for a particular pistol?

Thanks in advance.

Which pistol? MSRP or real-world value?

With REALLY high prices.

Gunsamerica.com is a better source for buying firearms (although still not that good in pricing).

That is a great way to see what kind of quote you can get on many goodies. You can search using the Genie, get a quote using your local shops. VERY good way to get a good deal. It if shows in stock, you can get it. Painless.

I went and did it finally. Ordered my dream 9mm gun. Under 13 ozs and built unlike any gun I have ever shot.

I was close to a Seacamp, but ponied up the extra bucks for this....



Should have it by December something.

Not normally a 9mm fan, but after holding one of these and reading raves like this; I figured you only live once and may only get to defend your life once. This thing is no more cumbersome than a cel phone. My jaw did drop when I saw the pricetag, but that's what year end bonuses are for.

I have nothing against people's choices in guns but, I just have no use for something that small right now.

I agree and also have nothing against people's choice. In fact, I love Glocks, Sigs and even some of the plastic ones.

Problem is, I am 5'8" and living in cargo shorts, they rarely leave the gun vault which is of no use to me. Me carrying a Glock is like a bull in a china shop.

I doubt I'll stop carrying my Airweight wheel gun, but there are times when a small 9mm that works, unlike a Kel Tec, is invaluable for me.

After a year of drooling...I finally picked up my XD9 this weekend! I have been fondling this thing like I am 13 again and home sick...

I went to the range today to make put some holes in paper and just my luck - they are closed due to power outage!!!!!!! Well the upshot is, it gave me a chance to pick up a couple hundred more rounds to help me break it in tomorrow (hopefully!)

I have spent the past year renting and borrowing trying to find what gun felt best to me and kept coming back to the various XDs. I just love this gun and completely understand why it has become such a hot commodity in the stores.

... That is, unless they make a subcompact XDM. God, I hope they do. It's so pretty, and I like the grip a lot better.
Hrm I didn't know this. Looks like I'd best be saving up!

Like me, hate me, call it a daisy, but I picked up my LCP today. I swear I could conceal this in a flip flop on the beach. I swear my crackberry is bigger.

Now where's that .380 ammo???

The gangster's bought it all up



I usually stray away from .380, but it has it's perks for maximum concealment. Nice pickup

That's a shame. Apparently Kel-Tec finally got the newer pf-9's right, heard good reviews. Would like to support an American company.

Call me crazy, but I feel 110% with my Glock (if I'm crazy, the cops and the FBI must be too. LOL.)

This was my "black friday" pickup. Was thinking about getting the .223 but I ended up with the .308 so I could hunt with it. Still deciding on flip-up iron sites or a scope... (it's a Remington R-25) I smoked the mag-50 while playing with my new toy.
