Popularity of LE trade-in guns

Personally, I believe that LE trade ins are almost always a good value. Usually maintained by a factory trained armorer. Maybe carried a lot but typically not fired a lot.
I would pay a premium for a dept marked firearm over a similar non marked firearm.

My absolute favorite revolver is an LE trade-in Model 64 NY-1. DAO, of course.
Years ago, it was about $200ish from one of the big surplus dealers, Century IIRC.
Sent it back to S&W to have the vapor hone finish renewed and a "combat revolver" job. Back when they knew how to work on revolvers. Papers signed by "Vito".
DA is silky smooth, ~ 6 pounds.
With my 158 grain handloads it shoots to the sights at any reasonable range. Especially good on the steel.
Just picked up a spare cylinder that's going off to TK Custom for a moon clip conversion. Soon be able to shoot it even more.
That's my favorite LEO gun among several others.

I like LEO used firearms and have a few, it usually means that they inexpensive and effective shooters. Your 64-1 might sell quickly at any of our gun shows in Houston.
