WTT New In Box Ruger LCP for snubbie

[Swat425]

Looking to trade my brand new in box Ruger LCP .380 for a snubbie .38 or.357 I bought this gun brand new at Academy Sports about 3 weeks ago and as my luck goes, we are no longer authorized to carry anything smaller than a .38. I need to do something ASAP. If you are interested id be more than happy to meet up and let you take a look at it first hand. Its brand new and unfired, includes box, all papers,etc...Thanks for looking!

I am in the Lafayette area.

Technically, I think the .380 is actually 38 caliber (also 9mm), whereas the .38 Special is actually .357 caliber, as is the correctly named .357 Magnum. Technically, you have a .38 caliber now (.380) and the .38 Special/.357 Magnum would be too small according to their policy. I guess they mean power-wise, or the policy doesn't make sense.

I hope you find someone to trade with.

Bump.

Hmm... I could've sworn the .380/9mm were actually .38 caliber. I guess that means none of those mentioned are technically .38 caliber, so he'd need at least a .40 then to meet policy.

PS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9mm_caliber
I found one on the above list that is actually .38 caliber, the 9.8mm Auto Colt. Just FYI.

I have a stainless Taurus .357 2'' snubbie that these old hands have never shot . I carry from time to time, pray if I do have to ever use, it would be a one shot knock down. I don't care for 380's , what else you have to trade?

You might want to post your approved weapon list so folks would know what brands are ok for you.

There are a host of autos but I am really looking for a wheel gun. I would also be willing to add a touch of cash (about $100) for the right weapon. As far as the discussion on bullet size and a .380 being a 9mm....I am not even going to begin to bring that up with the powers that be! I am a good cop and do as I am told!!

JMS that would be perfect but at this time the LCP is it for trade bait!
