Besides my Glock models 23 and 26, I have two Glock model 30's, 45 cal ACP. I can no longer carry a heavier gun on my hip. While my older model 30 will stay with my collection, I have decided to trade the one that I bought three months ago as an investment.
The pistol is still exactly like it was when I took it out of the case, except that I did install a Lasermax internal laser system. It is the newer version with the rail, and factory installed night sights. The only rounds fired through this pistol have been the two at the factory.
I bought my first model 30 to carry concealed, but with a bad hip I find that the weight of any of the Glocks is too much. Several years ago, I hit a deer on my Harley and had extensive bone damage. Bone had to be removed from my right hip to my right leg, and the docs tell me that the hip will be sore for 3 to 5 years.
I am looking for a stainless Smith @ Wesson 357 revolver with a 2 inch, 2 1/4, or 2 1/2 inch barrel, anywhere from a model 66 to one of the newer series like 686, etc.. My son carries one of the models and I have tried it out with a few different holsters and the hip seems fine with a pistol like that, so that is what I am looking for. I carried a model 66 with a 4 inch barrel in Police work so I am familiar with the series. I don't like shoulder holsters or IWB holsters, so the change is a must for me in order to be comfortable.
Also have three mags with Pearce extensions, and a couple of holsters to include with the trade. A leather Galco OWB high rise with thumb snap is one of them. The Lasermax will be included and I will include the factory extractor rod and spring.
If you have something I might be interested in and you would consider a trade, let me know. I live north of Abilene.
Thanks !

To everyone who sent PM's,
Thanks for the interest. There were a lot of offers on a couple of different discussion boards and I answered them in order of arrival.
A trade has already been made and I am the proud owner of a new 7 round Model 686. Looking for it today or tomorrow.
Again, thanks for your interest.
Be safe,
