A friend called me to ask what a Ruger Blackhawk is worth? I told him I didn't have any knowledge on pistols and revolvers, not much of a pistolero. He traded for a New model reproduction Flat top .357 Mag. with a six inch barrel, the lock up is tight bore is very good, the outside is 95% as it has some holster wear, no track on cylinder, it has a set of ivory handles on it but they are nice but not real ivory.
Why I ask he wants to trade me for my Taurus 450 (45 Colt) five shot revolver with a two inch ported barrel. I am not attached to the Taurus even though it shoots fine for a carry gun, not real accurate past 15 yds but wasn't meant to be with that short barrel. Here is what it looks like.

trade him!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, trade him fast before he changes his mind. I believe you will like it and if you don't you certainly will get more for it than the Tarus in an out right sale or as a trade in.

I think this is one of those once in a lifetime trades where it is okay to let a 45 go for a 357. :)
As long as you have learned your lesson about Taurus ;)

Why are you still reading, get your butt in gear, LOL!
Actually there isn't a gun in the world worth a good friend, so as much as I hate to say it, I would tell him the truth!
However if you didn't know him, thats a different scenario!

We had talked on the phone and he said I need any kind of 22 rifle and the Taurus, well my son has a simi auto Winchester that was given to me to throw away, well I fixed it and gave it to my son. He said sure you can have it back it doesn't shoot well any how. Well I got over to the friends house and I had the Taurus and 150 rounds of ammo and the 22. When he saw the Taurus he grabbed it and said this is enough I love it. So he is happy I am happy and still have the 22.
Here is what I traded for!
Look at New BH above for pictures.
Not a bad trade and the 357 will do you as a good plinker or can be loaded up to the magnum level to do some nice work on thin skinned game.
