trade or no trade?

Ok here is the deal....

im not new to firearms or anything like that but i know there are some smart heads running around and would like some 2 cents. I have a HK USP 40cal with a hk tac light and 2 mags for it. My bro has a glock 27 with 4 mags
(2 of them are + 1's) one kydex holster, 1 in the belt line holster and one ankle holster. I was thinking about trading straight up. I bought the usp for 575 like new (very low round count) and love the gun. My bro is the org ower of his 27 and i live with him so i know all its history, and i was thinking a straight trade everything for everything. Here is why.... I am a police officer and carry a 23 as a duty weapon. We can carry the 22 23 and 27 at anytime, so why buy a brand new 27 and start buying the acc. for when i can trade staight up? Since i can carry it off duty it would serve its purpose for the trade i believe. I cant carry that big usp all the time. I carry my 23 everywehre now but might aswell go smaller and i like that 27. what you guys think?

Now com'n, are really a Cop, your post just doesn't ring true to me.
If you don't mind, what area do you serve in?

Trading this for basically any suitable sidearm that you would carry all the time is definetly worth it. Plus, Im a big believer in training consistency and having all your carry guns of basically the same type is a big advantage in my opinion. Carrying an HK at some points and a glock 22 on duty is not the best idea since these two are quite different in many respects.

With you really liking the H&K, I would buy a new Glock 27 with your LE discount.

The H&K is worth a lot more than the Glock.
