Springfield XD9

[res308]

I'm converting all my defensive handguns to Glock 9mm for my own logistical reasons. Too long of a list to get into right now, but that's what I'm doing.

Right now I have a Sig 220 and a Springfield XD9 with 6 mags each.

I guess I'll start with the XD trade.

I'm going to start out getting a G17 or 19. Maybe even a 17L or 34.

How hard do you think it would be to get the XD traded (FTF) for a Glock? If I can't get it traded, what price do you think I should place on it? How about the 220 (holster wear on the slide). I know I can't afford to trade the 220 even up for a Glock, but I would the XD.

If I don't have any luck with the 220, I may just trade the XD and keep the 220. I'll have to see what happens.

Any input/advice here on fair prices (fair to me and the buyer) and also, I need advice on how to rate a handgun as far as condition. Any advice would be appreciated.

What size is the XD?

The Glock 19 and XD retail for around the same price, I don't see why someone wouldn't do a straight up trade.

This is the 4" Service model in Dark Earth. Almost identical in size to the G23 I carry at work. Just a little longer grip frame on the XD.

I thought all 220's were .45.

I thought all 220's were .45.

Nope! 9x19mm Parabellum, 45, 38 Super, 7.65x22mm Parabellum - Also known as the 30 Luger.

But the more modern P220 that most of us know are all 45ACP.

a few were made in 9mm, pretty rare though i think.

Weren't they for the US Army trials in the eighties?

Nevermind. According to Wikipedia:

The SIG P210 was just too costly to manufacture, and the Swiss Army wanted a cheaper semi-automatic handgun, but it still had to provide excellent functionality and a double-action trigger. SIG, in cooperation with a German arms company, J.P. Sauer & Sohn, developed a new pistol. In 1975 the A75 (as it was known in the Swiss Army service), or 9mm SIG-Sauer P220, debuted with various new and inventive features. It utilized a single column magazine holding eight 9 mm rounds and had a 3.9 in. barrel.

P220, .45ACP, DA/SA, decocker, made in Germany, no stinkin rail thankfully.
