around here, even if i took an AR rifle in to trade for a gun, they still want some cash

though if you want a nice 4 inch service 9mm XD i'd trade you for that kimber

cheers

You'll be trading away....

- A Stainless II Kimber runs about 725-750 new.
- CMC mag is about 20 bucks
- Wilson 47Ds are 24 bucks apiece times 4. (big deal if they're used...I have 10 year old 47Ds that work like new)

Unless the Kimber is a TOTAL problem child...sorry, but I would NOT do that deal. Especially if you have to put cash with it (and you probably will).

You just get ripped when you trade pistols, unless you were given the Kimber or got it for an insane crazy low price (like if a buddy sold it to you for 300 bucks).

I'd keep the Kimber...but thats just me.

(I only trade if the pistol is a total problem child or POS)

Totally agree.

I say keep the Kimber and buy the XD.

Don't make that deal. Sell it privately. You will save $$$.

If the Kimber IS giving you problems, I'd bet an extractor tweak or replacement (Wilson Bulletproof Extractor - about 20 bucks) and/or a magazine swap (again...get a Wilson 47D) would probably cure what ails it. This is usually the cure for most basic 1911 feeding issues.

Really, I'd keep the Kimber, unless its a complete basket case. They'll kill you on a trade-in.
