Default 4516 vs. 3914

I have a 4516-1 that I like a lot but don't carry much. I may have the chance to trade straight across for a 3914. Both guns are in roughly the same condition and come with same number of mags. My question is, is this a fair trade? Caliber doesn't matter as I already have 9MM and .45 and both calibers work for me. Thanks for the help.

I think the 4516 is probably worth a little more than the 3914 but it is close. I think it really depends on which one you want more or which is most useful to you. I would have a hard time giving up either of those guns.

I have a 4566 and a 3914. In my area your 4516 would be worth more$$$. The 3914 is easier to carry concealed. I carry my 3914 in the summer.

The 4516-1 is worth about $100 to $150 more than the 3914, at least in my opinion. I recently sold a 3914 for $475 and two 4516-2 for $650, but the 4516-2 gun were in a little better condition.

I have both the 3914 and 4516-1 and I like and shoot both of them. If you are not using the 4516 then it may reasonable to trade it off to someone who will use it. Good luck.

best wishes- oldandslow
