Hey, guys.
I have a question for you. I'm posting here instead of the M&P section because I wanted less-biased opinions.
In March of this year, I bought a used M&P40 full size. I paid high book for it lightly used - $479. I have added Trijicon night sights & APEX trigger upgrades.
After 1000 +/- rounds, I have come to realize I'm not crazy about the gun. I'm not too much into semi-auto, but figured I'd give it a whirl. I've always liked revolvers, and a 1911 does nothing for me.
Anyway, I'm thinking of selling it. I've asked around, and been told I could get anywhere between $410 - $550 for it, and an LGS offered me $289 for a trade (for $289 I'd feed it through a wood chipper).
I've got a guy that wants to trade for it.

Here's his offer:
He has an older blued Ruger GP100 6" that he bought new (box & papers to verify). I've handled the gun and it is smooth and action is tight, some wear but zero abuse.
I like his gun and it's in very nice shape.

He said if he were to sell it, he'd ask $450, and wouldn't let it go for a nickel less than $425, which seems like a very nice price.
I've seen used GP100's go for $399 for one badly scratched & abused, to $579 in good shape.

He's offering a gun-for-gun swap, plus $150 cash in my pocket. Considering his asking price and cash offer, I'm looking at the equivalent of $575 for my M&P.
If I could find a buyer that wanted my M&P for $575, I'd sell it in a heartbeat, because I'm realistic enough to know I won't get a lot for the upgrades I put on.

Everything I've read and heard about the GP100 says it's a good, sturdy revolver.
All Ruger slamming aside, what do you think?
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks for any insight.
