"...think I would get a good deal..." Nope. Dunno if Cabela's even does trades, but dealers base what they give as a trade in value(or buying the thing) on their wholesale price and how fast they think they can sell it.
Generally, you're better off selling the thing privately. Or putting it in a shop on consignment. That's the dealer selling it for you and taking a predetermined fee. Usually a percentage.
"...but they are expensive..." Used is not an ugly word when it comes to firearms. It takes a lot of abuse to damage a modern revolver. However, that revolver or pistol must fit your hand.
"...if I were to CC..." You want a firearm you can shoot well. Size doesn't matter, but most .380's have crappy sights(if it has a sight) and lousy triggers. Factory triggers don't matter as all new firearms require a trigger job. Easier to do that on a revolver or larger pistol.
