Trade question
Ive been offered a Springfield xd 4" .40sw for my 659(with 75 cashon my end). Both guns are flawless- and both shoot well. Would you all make this trade or not?

I have a Springfield XD .40 4" and would only consider traiding it for a new XDM .40 3.8. In over 3000 rounds, I have never had a malfunction. I carry it on a daily basis. It was handgun of the year NRA last year. However, check to see if it has loose breach. My XD is still tight after 3000 rounds. They are accurate and consistant on the trigger pull. Make the swap.

I would make the swap - never thought much of the earlier S&W autos

They aren't making any more of the 659...I'd hold on to it. The 659 would be much harder to replace if you were so inclined.
And I LOVE my XD Compact .45, it splits duty with my 4566 for every day carry.

I would pass. The 659 is unique and out of production, a 4" XD is a dime a dozen. Plus I am not a fan of .40sw in plastic guns.

Current value for current value it sounds like you are doing OK dollar wise. The XD/XDm are the current rage guns but I would have to think about how I felt about the 659. If you like it and might ever want one I would not get rid of it. Yes it is old school but they were/are solid, dependable pistols, the kind that never go out of style. As for me, I am not that excited about a regular XD, now if you are asking about my new (like yesterday!) XDm 3.8, that would be a different story!
