I saw a used Ruger SP101 DA .357 2" barrel for sale at a local gun shop for $450.00. I currently have a Taurus Tracker .357 4" barrel, just over a year and maybe 400-500 rounds.

I wanted to offer $400 and trade in my Taurus towards it and pay the difference. Does this sound reasonable or does it sound a bit high for the Ruger?

It sounds a bit high for a used SP101. Actually, that's about what a new SP101 goes for.

You're on the right track getting rid of the Taurus for a Ruger, but I don't think you'll get much for it on a trade. Try selling outright, then buy the SP101.

+ 1 450 is very high and most of the time a trade in will not earn you as much as sellout. the sp101s a good gun so you are looking in the right direction

I thought it seemed high since they are on Bud's for $464 right now. I wasn't sure if Rugers kept a high value or if it just was overpriced. Maybe they just have it jacked up to have to room to negotiate.

Also if you want the DA/SA all you have to do is grab another hammer from brownells.

that had better be a price on a new pistol or stay far away from that shop.

350 is about as high as you'll see the SP101 go used. I paid that for mine with case, manual and the original sales receipt in it.
