Even though I have an LCP on order, I just bought a p-3at..shrug, maybe I have a problem. Anywho, while I am waiting for my 5 days to clear, I still have the option of deciding between black and hard chrome. I'll admit, the hard chrome looked a tad cleaner, especially the extractor. With that said, if I don't give the p-3at to the ol' lady or my mother (she's been wanting a small pistol), I may sell it after the LCP proves to be reliable.

What's generally an easier pistol to sell, black or chrome?

I think you should be asking what the resale will be on the LCP ;D Why have of a copy when you now have the real thing.

LCP stands for "Lamentably Counterfeit Pistol"

IMO, the hard chrome will most likely fare slightly better at the time of re-sale...if I were not the customer as I prefer the blued model.

I bet Ruger doesn't even come close to having a Service Dept like KT. Try getting stuff sent free from them a few years down the road. Stay with the real thing in HC.

This post topic IS.

Please continue.

LCP can be discussed in other guns

BTW, I would preffer the black, but it seems HC carries a premiun

My bad. I guess I opened a can of worms by mentioning the LCP. Anywho, thanks for the replies.

To get back to the original question...

It depends a bit on what is available in your area when you go to sell it.

If hard chromes are hard to find (and they often are) and someone really wants one you could get a very good price.

Blue are generally easier to find, but are also the least expensive, so you may find more people looking to buy one which will make it easier to sell.

Parkerized are sort of "in between" the other two.

When buying used pre-owned P-3ATs I offer $50-$60 more for hard chromed over blued. I no longer buy Parkerized Kel-Tec pistols (personal preference).

I think you can never go wrong with black. Anything in black always has a higher re-sale value.

Hard chrome sure was hard to find where I live...
