Made a trade yesterday

Yesterday I traded guns with a local guy. I traded a Rossi model 92 in .357/.38 for a Ruger Redhawk .44 mag.
This was my trade:
This is what I got:
I'm happy with the trade. I had a Redhawk with a 4.2" barrel and sold it, instantly regretted it, this one sports a 5.5" barrel.
I rarely regret buying a gun but I always seem to regret selling one.

My opinion ,,,,,,,, you definitely’ bettered yourself. 😉
Pretty even trade there. Both did good.
Yeah, I thought so too. The Rossi was really nice though, it had an action job (like butter), fold down rear sights and of course the Marble's tang sight BUT that 24" octagon barrel weighed a ton.
The Ruger is ..... well, a Ruger, weighs 300 lbs and as big a bread box but just what I wanted.
I got a call last night from the guy I traded with and I thought "UH OH what could be wrong with the rifle?" Well, the gentleman wanted to tell me that he had just gotten back from shooting the rifle and it was perfect, functioned flawlessly and was deadly accurate, everything I said it was and he was beyond pleased.
Never had anyone do that before, I guess he's maybe had a few bad deals. Anyway, it made me feel good that everyone got what they wanted and I made a new friend.

This is what it's about. Well done ^^^^
I love a trade like this where both people can feel good about what they got. Both really nice looking firearms!
What did you think the dollar value was? Just sold a Redhawk with a 9,5 inch barrel.
Both guns were in the $850-900 range ... give or take some.
The first .44 mag I ever fired was a Blackhawk with a 10" barrel ....................... I wasn't prepared. 🙄
Love barter...there's no middleman taking a cut and no guvmint taking tax.
My opinion also.
