Firearms we buy
Sell Handguns to a Licensed Buyer
We buy handguns of nearly every type, from everyday carry pistols to full-size service guns and target models. Whether the gun has been in a safe for decades or was purchased last year, we evaluate it on its own merits and make a straightforward offer. You don't need the original box or a spotless finish to sell to us.
What we look at
Manufacturer, model, caliber, and overall mechanical condition come first. Bore condition, finish wear, grip condition, and whether the gun still cycles and locks up correctly all factor into our evaluation.
What to bring or send photos of
The complete pistol, any spare magazines, and the case if you still have it. If the gun has a threaded barrel, night sights, or an aftermarket trigger, include that in your description.
Condition and originality
Original finish and unmodified parts are preferred, but we still buy refinished guns, guns with holster wear, and pistols that have had grips or sights swapped out.
Paperwork and accessories
A bill of sale or original receipt is helpful but not required. Extra magazines, factory boxes, and manuals should be included when you send photos or bring the gun in.
