Can we try changing “gun” for “girlfriend” or “wife “?
That’d make this thread much more fun
Imo of course

Yeah man.In the ideal situation, you would always be in a virtual Arms Race with your Wife or GF.
Even though I've already participated in this thread , I'll throw another observation .
Despite Original ( aka Gen 1 ) Shields being most excellent pistols of their type , they are currently in a " Peculiar Situation of Marketing " .
With the sucuessful introduction of the Shield Gen 2.0 , S&W is highly incentivizing the remaining inventory of Gen 1 . I just gave one as Christmas gift @ $299 plus $50 rebate !
The Good News is a screaming deal for buyers.
The Bad News is the Trade in value/ Sell to Dealer value will be similarly depress while blow out wholesale prices are in effect .
Not withstanding the " Never Sell a Gun " philosophy , in this particular instance , waiting a year or so would have you in a more ( long term normal) bargaining position with a Dealer .
OH. MY. GOD!!! Do I hate when someone else uses the term "LNIB"! The ONLY thing that means is by some cosmic mistake, they managed to keep the box they got it in back when Roses was selling guns...
Now when I use it, that's a whole 'nother story!
I've actually thought about that whole thing objectively, and have come to the conclusion that as flawed human beings, when we buy a nice, shiny new gun, we tend to see it in that light always, and if, over the years we carefully handle and use a gun and don't drop it, slide it on a concrete shooting bench, booger (sorry) the threads, or give it years of rough holster wear, we tend to look through the slight, honest areas of edge wear or lightening of the finish on the back strap or sight edges, and we still think we are looking at a gun that is, well, like new in the box...
The buyer is always more objective then the seller.
