considering parting w/my 9000s

[Copper]

I am considering parting with my Beretta 9000s .40cal but I don't know if I should try to trade it for something or maybe try to sell it outright.

It shoots great and only scores 100's at department range time. I just don't carry it hardly at all and my wife and kids don't like the recoil their little wrists endure with it.

What do you guys think? Should I park it in the safe for 20 years or send it to someone else?

I could use an Easter present.

Park it in the safe. The kids will get bigger!

You could always replace your family and keep the gun.

Is it odd that I am actually pondering some of these suggestions?

Hide it as part of the Easter egg hunt. No wait...I think that is a bad idea.

what were you looking for?

What kind of ammunition are you using? 165gr FMJ WWB has less recoil/noise than some of the other ammo I've used, and if you can get some of the Hornady Match steel case there's even less noise and recoil.

Personally, I'd put it on consignment versus trading it in, as I don't like losing that much money on a transaction.

I'm not really sure to be honest. I was thinking that another 9 of some sort but then I like .22's also since they're cheap to shoot. I don't really know what the 9000's are worth yet as I haven't looked them up.

Either keep it or sell it outright. If I were you, I would keep it.

Why would you keep it?

You said it shoots great. Great shooters are hard to come by. Your kids will get older and may eventually enjoy shooting it. I only sell guns that I do not enjoy shooting. I am also a big Beretta fan. I do not have a 9000s, yet. If you decide to sell it PM me.

If I decide to part with it, I'll keep you in mind thanks.

do you need the money????

do you need the money????

No, I don't need the money, just not sure if I really want to keep it.

 

[Kilroy]

I would keep it. You can't just go out and buy another one if you regret selling it later.

 

[OH IT'S KINO]

I would never sell a gun unless I was 100% sure about it. Seller's remorse is just too great of a risk. They're not easily replacable.
