5 Benefits of Buying a Used Handgun

By

Wanting to buy new things is completely understandable. New things are exciting, maybe they have new features, and often feel great to receive. However, when it comes to handguns, much of the fundamental technology has remained consistent for over a century. You can save a lot of money with very little downside by looking for used versions of the firearm you want to buy. While you should avoid buying used mattresses or helmets, there are a number of reasons buying a used Glock 19, CZ 75, or another quality used handgun just makes good sense.

CZ 75

 There’s an Enormous Variety of Used Guns Available

Dozens of gun companies have been producing thousands of reliable, high-quality pistols for decades; centuries if pre-modern firearms are included. Going for used guns, even guns that aren’t manufactured anymore, opens you up to a wide variety of options. To appreciate the dazzling variety of used handguns available, browse through an online firearms marketplace like GunBroker.com.

Well-Maintained Used Guns Can Run Like New

Within the massive variety of used firearms are dozens of models that stand out as exceptional. You can bet your bottom dollar that if the Colt 1911 your great, great-grandfather carried in WWI has been kept in good repair, that the thing will run like a clock right now. It is not fair to say that they do not build them like they used to, as there are certainly some unquestionably high-quality modern handguns, but they certainly built them right.

Many Used Guns Have a Proven Track Record

Handguns like the Colt 1911, Browning Hi-Power, SIG P226, and countless others don’t just stand out for being brick-solid examples of exceptional quality. They also have proven track records for accuracy, reliability, and ergonomics that made them winners. They have been used and relied on for years or decades. Throughout that time, they have demonstrated their worth time and time again.

Used Guns Often Sell for a Lower Price

Then there is the benefit that compels people to buy pretty much anything used in the first place—you can often get it for a lower price. There are certainly exceptions to that rule. A highly sought collector’s item, like a vintage model of the SIG P210, for instance, is likely to be thousands more than most brand-new handguns. Of course, if you are not looking for a legendary collector’s piece, a used pistol is likely to be less expensive than many modern counterparts.

They Are Cool, Classy, and Collectible

Used handguns also present an opportunity to own some of history’s coolest, classiest, most elegant, and most collectible handguns. You could pick up a sleek art deco beauty like a Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless; the Remington 51, a masterpiece of ergonomics; channel your inner Bond with a Walther PPK; and so on. With the right marketplace, you could find fully functional examples of those pieces of history online right now.

However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case.
