Should I sell/trade my 9mm Shield?

I selected my Shield 9mm as my primary carry gun. It is just a deadly-accurate, very reliable, and very mannerly gun. It is small enough to carry, but enough "gun" to be a range gun. The recoil for a gun that size is wonderful -- I can get back on target between shots very quickly due to the very benign recoil. I will always want to own a Shield 9. I prefer it to my Sig-Sauer P238 (.380 cal.) which cost almost twice as much scratch. (The Sig is one of my alternate carry guns.)

I had the Shield 9 and wanted the 40 so I could shoot the 9 and carry the 40, now i want to shoot the 40 and carry the 40 and the 9 stays in the blue box. So many guns, so many decisions, and so little time. :confused:
 
I found a good deal on a berretta nano about a year ago, $375. I shot it a couple of times and now have come to despise it. I still have it but never shoot it. I carry my HK P2000SK but haven't brought myself to carry the CZ P-01. After coming back from Cajun Gun Works the trigger is just too touchy. Double action is fine but a 3 pound DA is a little light for my taste. I'm still getting use to it. After seeing some reviews of the shield I wanted one. I finally held one at Cabelas. Very nice gun but with a thicker grip its basically the Compact. I would spend the extra $70 plus or minus and get the compact.
 
I think you made a sweet trade. You traded a $360-$400 gun for a near $700 gun.

I have been trading and selling guns like a mad man lately. It was always the "next big thing" for me. Suddenly it hit me.....I need to stop trading, stop selling and start enjoying the guns I owned. Unless I just have to have quick cash in an emergency, I'm done selling. I have a pistol for just about every occasion and size range. I am going to focus on ammo and shooting now.

I won't lie, it became very addictive. The "I got a new gun coming" high was very exciting. But in then end, it only ended up costing me. I'm done.
