What model is this S&W .38

[cad424]

Cop buddy of mine wants to trade this snubby for a brand new P-3AT. What say the masses and S&W experts?

This gun is a little dirty as he's mainly just kept it in a bag so I'm not sure. On the other hand I only paid $249.00 for the Kel-Tec.

Open the cylinder and look on the frame...model number is right there.

637 chief's special airweight. Assuming it is in good condition mechanically, with the visible holster wear, it's worth about $300-$350, a Used P3AT in excellent shape runs about $200-$250, decent shape puts it about $175-$200. They are in huge demand now, and usually backordered, so used ones tend to go for almost as much as new ones.

yeah, I just ran over there. It is in fact a 637-2.

So it's a bit dirty and needs some TLC but I'm assuming the concensus is my brand new p-3AT would be a good trade?

There's a place down here "Jones Used Cars and Detective Agency". Might go ask for a job.

S&W for a Keltec???

Hmm...

I'd trade a Keltec for a Broken S&W!!!

I own a 637. Stuffed with +P it's a ripper of a backup gun.

If the bore is fine, I say go for it.

I own a S&W 442, similar to that except, it's black in color, and has a bobbed hammer (which is encased in the frame, so it doesn't snag on clothing).

I LOVE that gun. I'd say it's a good trade in your favor.

Thanks for the input, folks. I made the trade. Now I'm headed to cheaper than dirt to pick up another .380 for $249 with 50ct. box of ammo included.

I'd say this was a good trade. I love my Kel-Tec but I've been wanting a nice snubby so I guess it all worked out.

This is probably the most informative 2A site on the net.

WHere are you getting the Kel Tec at CTD?

Very Nice.

Examines gun: Can't tell frame size (K or N?).4" barrel (Not a Mdl 14), adjustable sights, target trigger, target grips, target hammer (the 3T's), blue finish. Shrouded extractor, not full lug (Not a Mdl 15).

OK, I'll bite: Model 19 (K-frame) or Model 28/57/29?

Here in Fort Worth at the store. It's only about a 30 minute drive for me.
