Thanks very much for the comments. More are welcome.

This is what I was hoping to hear and actually corroborates what I've seen in the reviews.

I don't have a lot of cash, so I'm going to my LGS with a HK P7M8 looking for a trade. I actually have two P7M8's. The one I will bring for a trade is a police trade-in with the police mark milled off. It's got many rounds through it but is in really good shape. A little holster wear, but I've got the original box, the gas tube tool, cleaning brush, owners manual, and two original HK magazines.

I also have a much nicer P7M8 with all the right markings in pristine though fired condition, which I would like to keep forever.

The LGS wants about $950 for the Sig, but I'll get a pretty decent military discount. It will still be more expensive than Bud's, where it's $850 shipped, but by the time you get through with transfer fees from the LGS, it's probably pretty close. I like giving my LGS my business. It's a small shop and a bunch of good guys.

I'm hoping I can get at least an even trade.

I'll report back next week after I've had a chance to talk to and negotiate with them.
