Went to a small gunshow up the coast in order to avoid going shopping with the wife and daughter. Show was full of gun traders I know. They appeared to be having a slow day. There were not many people bringing in guns to sell. It was in Near Port Aransas, Texas, so most people were probably at the beach.
Kept dogging the door to see what came in. Finally stoppped a guy with a Ruger box. He had a like new LC9 that he had bought at the last show there in May. He was looking to swap it for something bigger cause he said, "he couldn't hit a pie plate at 25 yds. with it. Well, it ain't no target pistol for sure. He wanted 3 bills cash or trade on a full size 9. He wasn't getting it. There were a couple of new LC9s on that table for 355+.
Anyway, I tried 2 bills. That didn't work, so I met him halfway at 250. Not a smoking deal, but o.k. for a like new gun with all the papers, box and zipper bag. Guy said it had less than 50 rounds through it.

Gun is about the same as my Bersa thunder, but much lighter with a poly frame. Also thinnner, 7 round, single stack, mag, DAO with a manual safety
also. DAO is not bad. Smoother and lighter than a couple of Kel-Tec P-11s I had and about as good as the DA pull on the Bersa.
Probably be putting a few rounds through it out back when the sun comes up. So, range report later.
