Is my Taurus 740 Slim .40 an even trade

Since i already have my Taurus 740 Slim Stainless Steel subcompact .40 i am thinking of an even trade for an Stainless SR40c.My 740 has about 300rds thru it.Is this trade reasonable? I purchased it new for 400.00.

depends who you are trading with but my guess would be you would need to put in some cash as well if trading with a private person. Definately would need cash if trading in to a gun shop

Retail for a new SR40c is $529 so nope not even, you'll need some cash to add with it.

If you're getting an SR-40c for your Taurus, jump on it.

I just bought a Taurus Model 709-Slim NIB, Black, for $225 at a local gun auction. I see them on Gun Broker and Guns America for $375-400 @. be ready to fork over some cash with your trade.

This is true,but actual price in the gun shops near me for an SR40c are about 410.00 brand new.So i figured brand new i paid 400.00 for my .40 so hopefully i can find a decent used one from a fellow gun owner thats willing to part with it.

You'll be cheated. I'd keep the Taurus. Less problems, transferable life time support. To many teething problems with the SR40.

I almost got rid of my 740 slim and am glad I did not. I picked up my twin SR9c and SR40c and have not had a single problem other than breaking a striker cover that Ruger promptly replaced. Many years ago I got rid of a gun and I still regret it. I no longer get rid of a gun to fund or make room for another.

I understand..I've been going back and forth about it with my wife and she said to me,"You'll regret it if you get rid of it!" Sooo i've decided to keep it and add the SR9c to my stable as another ccw piece along with a Remington 870 Express Tactical with Ghost Sights!! Sweet thing about the 870 is my in-laws work at the Remington Plant in Ilion NY so i'll be getting a sweet deal!
