tradeing or selling a firearm your wife just bought you would be really stupid for a relationship.

Yeah, if she's petty about things. A *real* friend and companion simply wants what's best for them and would be happy to see them get what they really wanted.

Explain this to her, sell it and get what you want.

I'd want them to trade it in on something they did like.

Exactly.

What's the probability of this trade???
My wife just got me a used Ruger P89 (blue) for my birthday and I just cannot warm up to this gun, and seeing that WI. just passed CCW I am looking at getting a G19 because I shoot those very well. I am going to a gun show tomorrow in hopes of finding a 3rd Gen. G19, is the P89 a gun people would like to trade for? The P89 and how much extra for a G19? Even up? I don't want to get taken for a sucker at this show. any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Used Ruger P89 pistols go for $200 to $250. Dealer trade - you'd be lucky to get $200! New Ruger P95 goes for $300. The P Series are totally underrated guns. They are workhorse reliable. Expect to toss at least another $200 into the hat for a used Glock 19 trade.

Keep it as a house gun.
 
What ever happened to the quote, "it isn't the gift, but the thought that counts"?

If your wife didn't have the knowledge to get exactly what you wanted, she probably also paid too much. But that's beside the point. Like the gun or not, she still went to some bother to get something she hoped you'd like.....otherwise she would have just given you a gift certificate. Don't be a self-serving selfish jerk and kick her in the face. No way I'd intentionally hurt my wife's feelings for a mere $200. I guarantee you, if you trade off the gun and your wife is diagnosed with cancer the next week, you'll regret your decision for the rest of your life......if not, there's something wrong with you. Be a man, be a good husband and suck it up and act like it's the best thing in your marriage since the honeymoon. Even if you hate it, one of your children might love it and the fact that Mom gave it to you will make it even more special after you're both gone.
