I paid....Zero.
OK, here's the story.
I've owned an FNS-9 for a couple of years. It shoots great and is extremely reliable, however with my slim build and it's double stack grip, I can't conceal it except in the winter under a jacket.
I purchased an SW PC 5" 1911 and a Kimber Pro Carry II for IDPA and everyday carry so the FN languished in the gun safe.
Fast forward to a few days ago...
I interviewed for an armed transport and executive protection job.
One of the guys I currently work with also applied. The only gun he owns is a Shield with 100 rounds shot through it and he'll be needing a full sized gun for the armed transport job.
I let him borrow the FN for the shooting portion of the interview/assessment and he loved it.
I told him I'd trade him my FN for the Shield and he agreed.
Since I'll be doing the executive protection gig, I'll be needing something a little more discrete than my 4" Kimber and this trade makes it a win-win situation for both of us.
Did I take a loss on the deal? Numbers-wise: Yes.
However since I haven't shot the FN in over a year and I had no plans to, we both came out ahead.
I took it out yesterday and ran 150 rounds of WWB and 2 boxes of HST through it. It shot flawlessly.
Other than the weird reset, I really like it and carrying it in a Galco King Tuk makes it disappear under a t-shirt.
