    Default Trade advice

    Should I trade a Taurus PT1911 for a Para Hawg 9mm? The Hawg was said to have 500 rds through it with the proper 300 rd break in. I am just wondering if it was not broke in right would that hurt the gun? Is there anything else I should know before trading. Both guns are in the same cosmetic condition with carry wear. Thanks guys.

    Most brands to trade for a Para I'd say no but a Taurus semi-auto? TRADE!

    Para's are like a box o chocolates, you never know what your getting.
    They can be a touch cantankerous and Para's CS sucks dawg bawls.
    But they can be overcome.
    It will certainly hold value much better than a T brand item.
    Do it
    You know you want to.

    If there is something wrong with it can you fix it? Like not being broke in properly with the lack of lube they come with new. I believe the instructions say something about not taking it apart for the first 100 rounds. You guys know I like my Taurus pistols, but even I have to wonder why he wants to trade.

    Okay I guess I will do it then. I will probably do a nice fluff and buff on it like I do with everything else and see how it runs. Unless you think I should see first, I like having a polished FR on everything I own.

    I have always heard the proper break in was 317 rounds.

    Seriously, what do you the proper break in? If it works, it works.
