Poll: Which of these three should I sell to get out of trouble?

[PlayboyPenguin]

I put that Colt .38super 1911 on lay-a-way the other day. I think my other half must have saw the receipt because I got the ol' "you do remember that you agreed not to add anything to you toy collection unless you subtract something" from them before they left to visit family today.

Now I have to decide what to sell since I really do want the new Colt. My choices are as follows.

1. Colt Series 80 1911 .45acp
2. Dan Wesson Razorback 1911 10mm
3. FN Fiveseven w/1000rounds

I have other Colt 1911's so the series 80 would not be missed too much but it is hard to part with a Colt. Of course it would be easy to replace later. The Dan Wesson is a great gun but I do not see a practical use for it since I prefer my Colt Delta Elite. It is also discontinued and might be hard to replace. The FN is nothing special. It is a novelty, but it is pretty cool and is pretty hard to get ahold of these days.

Opinions?

LOL..... Better to ask for foregiveness then to ask for permission When you know the answer will be NO!

It's almost like you're asking us to pick which pistol we would like to see in the classifieds next time...

Plus the feds don't want you (or anyone else) owning one. They're naughty guns. You shouldn't own one. They're bad for you. You need to get rid of it. Now list it for sale.

Heck PB, tell you what. I'll take one for the team and let you give me all 3. That way you can put 2 more on layaway!

As for an actual answer to your question, I think I'd probably sell of the Dan Wesson. Its always hard to kick a pony out of the stable. I have the same problem, but for financial reasons. I, too, have to subtract to add...

 

[tallshipsgo]

FN jokes aside, I don't think anyone here can answer that - I've always found guns a very personal thing. Do you like them all equally? If not, which is the one you like the least? That's the looser. I have to make such decisions based on hyper-limited funding as well. I know people have opinions as to what I should or should not dump but that never has any bearing on what I actually do. Again, I find it just too personal. Good luck!

Option 1. Sell the FN while the market is still high then buy a new one at 30% less 6 months from now.

Option 2. Let the market decide, put them all up for sale and retract the two that you have left after the first sale.

Option 3. Domestic violence!

This.

Sell the Five-seveN. It's just a fun plinker and you'll probably never use it defensively unless you fork out the money for the good ammo.

 

[PhysicsGuy]

I'll take the 10mm razorback for a frequent buyer discount

 

[willseeker]

I do not advocate the following suggestion.

Put the DW in a secured container in the basement, buy the Colt .38 super, find the MIA piece 6 months from now...all will be forgotten!



Just leftover larceny from my younger days. good luck!

I'd personally keep the five seven. They may be a bit overpriced right now, but they are a rare and special gun, and they probably wont make them forever since they havent really caught on and have a bad rep with the lawmakers...

I think you are missing another option here, who says you have to sell one of your guns. Sell multiple non-gun items if you got them to make up the cost. Craigslist is a wonderful free thing.

Sell the Colt 80 as that is the one I want

 

[Redcap]

I'd sell the wife.

 

[aflineman]

I'd sell the wife.

 

[ORBrit]

If there was a wife, then the other half would not be so concerned about the extra gun purchase!

 

[Gunner3456]

Darned better halves. Mine believes that it's actually possible to have enough guns and ammo, and that buying 4 or 5 guns in one month is "excessive."

Whooda thunk it?

 

[PlayboyPenguin]

I am going to list all three and see which one sells first. Then I will remove the remaining two from sale...unless I find something else I want too.
