Traded one .44Mag for another

[AZGlock13]

Well, I decided to trade in my all black Desert Eagle MK VII .44Mag pistol, on one sweet LNIB stainless Ruger Redhawk 5.5" .44Mag revolver. I received $50 in addition to the Redhawk for my DE, in the trade, but of course the pawn shop got the better deal all around (a gun/pawn shop getting the better deal on a trade, imagine that, oh well). I liked how the DE shot (pretty tame recoil wise for shooting .44Mag), but I just realized I really wanted a good revolver in .44Mag instead. Plus, I bought a Marlin 1894 Cowboy 20" .44Mag lever rifle (shoots like a dream) just a little over a month ago and I wanted a nice revolver in the same caliber to go with it (even thought the Marlin is blued and the Ruger is stainless). I don't think I'm really going to miss the DE all that much. Here are some pics of both my new Ruger Redhawk and my Marlin 1894 Cowboy. Long live .44 Magnum!

IMHO you made the better deal the only way I'd take a DE is with the intent on trading for a gun I could use.my fingers are way too short for a DE.

They made out dollar wise and you made out gun wise. I'd say you won.

Nice trade, I think you did fine. I'm a big fan of the Rugers. I just swapped my .44 DE for this S&W 500. I still have my DE .50 though

Thanks for the good word on the trade.

Have a great Thanksgiving today everyone!
