Trade or pass

I have the chance to trade my kel Tec p11 for an armscor m200 .38 revolver with 4 inch bbl. Can you help me decide which to do pass or trade?
 
I really do not like either handgun but If i had to choose, I think I would take the Armscor 200. No experience with the Armscor revolver but supposed to be a copy of Colt with some improvement on springs. Have shot keltec fp9 which i did not like.
 
I don't have any experience shooting either but price wise in my area the p11 is worth more. I normally see p11's for around $225-$250 in local stores while the Armscor I've seen as low as $160.

Why do you have the Kel Tec? Does it fulfill its purpose? Why might you want that revolver?
 
I also agree that I don't like either one and wouldn't care to own either one. However, being a handloader, I would choose the Armscor 200 revolver and I would probably run a stress test on it and see if I could shoot it to destruction.

The Kel-Tec P11 wouldn't be enjoyable to shoot... the Armscor, assuming it is passably accurate and it operates properly... would be enjoyable to shoot.

However, if I weren't a handloader and I had to buy factory ammo, I might choose the Kel-Tec P11 as 9mm is both easier and cheaper to find. (well, maybe not right this moment, but typically, and in the future)

Now, if I have to choose which one to own only because I know I'm going to be selling it off or trading it, it would be the Kel-Tec P11. It would be (far!) easier to trade or sell to the next guy.

In a more perfect world, I wouldn't waste time or energy on either of those & I would chase down a former issue/duty/service Smith & Wesson Model 10, some of which can be had for $229-$260 when a new crateload of them hits the resale market. Every SINGLE thing about a well-worn Model 10 is better than either of the other two on their best day. (in my opinion, of course)
 
I keep an Armscor M200 as a trunk gun in my car. It's low end. It does shoot fairly well to point of aim. It's one of those guns if lost oh well.
