What would you do? Seecamp / Wheaton Arms glock...

[Conservative Texan]

I have a fairly used Boberg xr9s and I have two decent trade offers. What would you do between the two?

A milford ct made seecamp 380 lws

or

Wheaton Arms California Carry package Glock 19 + $200 cash..

I think that I would gravitate towards the Seecamp. Those Wheaton guns are just awful looking to me.

+1 for the Seecamp. a Glocks a Glocks, a G-lock... and I own several. the Seecamp is a fine pistol.

Aesthetics aside....why would he spend all that money on a custom gun and then only shoot it a handful of times, then sell it 5 months later?

The Seecamp is a fine carry gun if that is what you are looking for.

I'm not entirely certain what the Wheaton conversions are good for, and after all is said and done, it is still a Glock

I would go with the seecamp, if you decided to move it later, the milfort ct guns were going for pretty good money not very long ago..

 

[Conservative Texan]

what do you mean by pretty good money? I cant find alot about the older models online. Hardly any for sale... Some at $1500 and some at $950. That is what is confusing me on the Seecamp. the serial number is LS177*

The .380 Seecamps I have seen were around $750-$800.

 

[Conservative Texan]

That sounds like the newer model. The older ones have always been more desired is what I am understanding. Larry Seecamp only made so many and they were all test fired by him. the early production from Milford from what I understand are pretty desirable...

 

[ralph7]

Get on the Seecamp forum and ask them.

The L.W. Seecamp Company Forum - Index

I browsed on there and one thread put the Milford guns at $600-$750 with $850 tops.

Put me in the Seecamp camp

 

[colt_saa]

I would keep the Boberg

If you must trade and those are the only two choices, I would take the Secamp

 

[USAF385]

Those are very different options..... what will the role be?

 

[gasaman]

I vote Seecamp!

I have a Seecamp in .32ACP. It took me years to find it, and I don't regret the purchase, but it is an unusual piece. It is nicely made, but it is a last ditch weapon. It is small sized piece with a slow rate of fire (DAO), but its size renders the argument that you don't have enough room to carry a pistol moot. I guess what I am trying to say is that it is a niche gun, and if you can wrap your head around that, you'll be okay. By the way, my Seecamp is not a pleasant gun to shoot, and it's a .32ACP. I cannot imagine shooting one in .380ACP. I've enclosed a photo of my .32 caliber handgun collection to give you a size comparison of the Seecamp to a J-frame 432 PD (.32 H&R Magnum), and a CZ-70 (.32ACP).

Best of luck,

Dave

Well I want a new carry. The boberg is so picky on ammo. It pulls ammo that is not crimped out of the shell. i dont mind buying expensive ammo but the other day it did it to hornady ammo. This worries me for a gun that is used to protect my life.

 

[ColbyBruce]

Go with the Seecamp

I am down to six Glocks, all stock except for sights. Stock Glock works fine for me.

My one and only Seecamp, a .32 a.c.p. purchased two weeks ago for my son as a Christmas gift. He will get it tomorrow night. This was pushing $500.00, the .380 a.c.p. was half again as much.

A friend at work has had a few, the last one was a milford ct 380 and he sold it right before they changed locations. When locations changed they couldn't be touched for under $1000.. This was back in march, because we were talking during some training.. If that's still the case or not, I don't know but it's worth looking into..

I agree, kind of hard to compare a seecamp and a g19. I would definitely rather have the Glock in my hand if I needed a gun. But a seecamp in your pocket is better than a glock in the safe. If it's for pocket carry or collection I guess the seecamp would prevail, but for any other use, such as belt carry, self defense at home or car, or just a fun day at the range the glock would win for me without a second thought.
