I have a local guy who wants to work a trade.
"Model 5906, matte stainless steel finish, double action, Crimson Trace laser sight grips, 2-15 round mags. MINT Condition. Less than 50 rounds through it." how much would this package be worth? thanks.

| +1 on heavy and side and I also preferred the 5904 but SS is more forgiving for those not into cleaning. I'm not a fan of lasers but I think $350 to $400 would be a good buy. The 5906 is a pussycat to shoot as the weight really soaks up the 9MM recoil and they are very reliable pistols. |

thanks guys. so the laser doesn't really add that much value to the pistol? Laser grips are tough. Some guys swear by them, others are sort of meh. The gun without the grips is probably $300 or so, maybe more on a really good day. The grips new are what, couple hundred? They don't get that much on the used market it seems. Most guys try to get a hundred or so, don't know if they succeed or not. |

As micah360 pointed out, don't put out too much money for the laser. As a bargaining point, the seller would have a tougher time to re-sell this without the pistol, so you have a better position to make the best out of this sale/trade. Ed |
