But from a financial perspective, what is the monetary value of the Smith. $400+ for a new one? (Don't know, don't buy them). Whereas you can get Bulgie Maks for $100-$150. Maybe it isn't such a good deal after all.
Correia- Ya dang beancounter I've taken a couple of accounting classes so I'm gonna add my .02cents too
Don't forget to account for the depreciation on the Smith. With the depreciation on it its probably only worth about $300. So its a fair deal. I don't really like Smith autos at all. If I were in your shoes, I'd grab the Maks.
Just to update everyone, I looked at the Bulgarians Maks again closer. They were issued and pretty beaten up. I kept the Smith and got a CZ83 .380 in place of the two issued Maks. When I intially posted, I thought the Maks were unissued. Thanks to everyone in any event.
