At the NRA convention I was taken by the P30 w/light LEM trigger. Am planning to purchase one, but can't decide if I should finance the deal by selling my P7 M8 or just keep the P7 and let it continue to appreciate, then sell at some later date. Of course money in hand now might bring more satisfaction than the possibility of more in the future. I can afford to keep the P7 AND buy the P30, but like Jack Benny, I'm cheap.
I just wonder it you guys think the P7 M8's will continue to go up in price, or if they have leveled off, or will they continue to go up even more.
I purchased the P7 new back in the early 80's, but never shot it much. Maybe a few hundred times. It never saw a holster, and lived in its original box in the safe. When I saw how their value had gone up I just didn't have the heart to shoot it. I'm the same way with the two Colt Woodsman .22's I bought new. The live in the safe and I shoot a Ruger .22 instead.
Since they're so much more common, when I get the P30, I've resolved to make it a shooter and not a safe queen.
So, the question is; how likely is the P7 to keep appreciating like it has been in the past.
Thanks,
Ed
