Good time to buy firearms…

Post by mrvmax »

I probably mentioned this before but I will reiterate. Now is a great time to buy firearms (and a terrible time to sell). I have been a home based FFL for 15 years now and this is by far the best I have seen on firearm prices. I peruse Gunbroker during the week and continually find new firearms listed, with no reserve, for under my wholesale. I have purchased 6 handguns this years that have been from 20-35% under my wholesale cost - from cheap Tristar to CZ Custom and Dan Wesson.

I have seen used handguns for less than $200. Now, nothing fancy but decent guns like the Taurus TCP, Ruger LCP and some other S&W and Taurus models. Even with shipping the prices are hard to beat. I have seen many self defense shotguns under $300, some closer to $200. Yes, there are still some overpriced firearms but deals are out there if you look for them.

I am sure that something will happen to drive prices back up, so if there is anything you want, check online and you might find some good deals. It is a terrible time to sell so hold on to what you have until prices go back up.

Of course I’m available for anyone in the Friendswood area that needs transfers.
