Buying, selling, and trading guns and knives goes way back with me. Weapons are legal tender down here. I have had fences built and other work done for trade. Then there is the upgrading thing. While I have sold or traded off a few Scrappers and bought Busses, the DFLE would be the last one I would part with. As for pistols, I am partial to my often berated Beretta 92. I like my Sig P220 and my Kimber 1911, but I shoot very well with the Beretta and I like having 15 rd magazines. The only pistol I shoot better is my S&W 686+ revolver.
