Ruger P90 .45/Glock 27
I am in the market for a Glock 27. I have a Ruger P90 .45 that I was thinking about potentially trading for the Glock. I cannot find what a P90 would go for. Would it be possible for me to trade the P90 for the Glock straight up, or will I have to fork over $100 or so? Thanks for your input.

No the straight up trade will not be possible. Around here they go for about 250-280 in very good to excellent condition. 0 -
Thanks for the quick response. What about this trade:
Ruger P90 .45 AND Keltec P32 in exchange for a Glock 27?0 -

Whether or not you'd be able to make that trade depends on whom you are trading with, the condition of the guns in question, what the market is like in your location, and what (if any) accessories they come with (like original boxes, extra mags, etc).
But sure, this trade seems *plausible*. Here are some BALLPARK numbers for your consideration:
A used Ruger p90 is worth around $300.
Keltec P32 is worth around $200
Glock 27 is worth around $4500 -
If you are considering trading at a Gun Shop or Pawn Shop you can forget about it. They will only give you below wholesale on each gun which will not get you to the retail on the Glock. You are better off to sell them on here and buy yourself a Glock. Trading guns is almost always a losing proposition, much better to sell them out right to a private party. 0 -
the last 2 posts pretty well hits it 100% , have you shot a 27 ? if you haven't i would try to do so before doing a trade , some folks find the recoil of the 27 to be a bit much 0 -
...You'd need to find an individual willing to do the P90/Kel-Tec trade, then, may be possible. I'd just keep them actually, the tank err, P90 is great to keep as a knock around gun, I keep the ugly, very heavy P90 in my truck console; a very reliable & pretty accurate gun to be so blocky and ugly.
I'd suggest selling each seperately on the auction side...then, if you just have to have plastic, you can go buy the Glock...[;)]

P90's ain't perty but damn if they ain't intimidating if your looking down at the barrel of one
I don't think there is much to the recoil of a G27, especially with the two stage recoil assembly....The G23 has a far stiffer recoil and is a bit bigger. If you like the size you can always opt for the G26 in 9mm. Some knock the 9mm but its all about shot placement anyways...if your not hitting where it counts the difference between a 9mm and a .40 is irrelevant. Something to keep in mind is that .40 series of Glocks have the highest rate of kbs(kaboom!)....perhaps because they are the most prevelant on the market do to Law Enforcement use...or perhaps do to the high pressures produced in the .40 with the partially unsupported chamber...something to keep in mind...the 9mm Glocks have experienced the lowest rates of kbs of all the Glock models(maybe thats because the Glock was designed to be a 9mm, then the same design was altered to handle larger and higher pressure calibers)..anyways despite the PSA I'm a Glock fan and carry one everyday on the Job....so go get ya a Glock
Just don't buy a GAP!!0 -

In general I agree with this.
Your best bet is to sell the Ruger and Kel-Tec separately, then use the cash you raise to buy the Glock. If you factor in expenses like shipping and FFL transfer costs, you'll probably come close to breaking even.
You might be able to find a gun dealer to sell them for you locally on consignment, thereby simplifying things a little bit.
You're VERY unlikely to find a dealer who would be willing to make the trade you describe without you also kicking in some extra cash as well.
You probably aren't going to find a private party who wants to make that exact trade either. (EG the likelihood of you finding someone who has a Glock 27 who wants to trade it for a Kel-Tec 32 and a Ruger is pretty remote).
I wouldn't say that trading guns is almost "always" a losing proposition.
Remember a trade is a zero sum game. So if there is a "loser" there is also a "winner"!
The point is just to be happy with YOUR outcome, and then you are a winner. IE if both parties come away with what they want, then both are "winners".0 -
Thanks for all of the great advice. I have been out shooting a glock 27 with a friend a couple of times. I would rather carry a glock than my Kel-Tec. Does anyone carry a glock? Is it pretty easy/comfortable? Thanks. 0 -
I carry a Glock 21SF at work...fullsize .45...however I carry my Glock 19 9mm off duty...of all the pistols I own that is my favorite to carry. Its comfortable, compact, relatively light and has a 15 rd mag capacity.
I've owned Glocks for a longtime including models 19, 21, 22, 26, 27, 39 and 34. There are alot of Glock haters out there, but most of that is ignorance or people that just can't stand anything other than a 1911. They are well developed, dependable and affordable guns that don't require bells and whistles...that's my humble opinion.0
