Handgun sales?

I think it’s the same more or less. I’ve moved over $20k of handguns in the last 6 months; it just has to be quality at a reasonable price. Look around the EE and it’s obvious why some of the stuff isn’t selling; Gen4 G17’s for only $700 + shipping, S&W 686’s for $800, and one clown tried to get $2300 for a Colt Competition. No mystery.

Certain guns, Python’s for example, have come down. Others, H&K P7, have seen incredible increases. Mixed bag.
 
I'm buying like crazy, I will never turn them in and if they come for them they won't find anything, regardless the ill effects of the laws and the charge I might receive, I am gonna put it all on the line and I won't stand for this BS, if this actually goes thru i will continue to buy more and more, can't wait for my new inox Beretta to show up!

All the restricted are registered, what will you do? Fight them when they come to your door, they know every restricted you have! Having said that, when they come for mine, they will get the receiver/lower or whatever is the registered part, I keep the rest, maybe when common sense prevails again, I can reassemble my restricteds and only buy that particular part! Hope it doesn't come to that!

No it doesn't. Trust me. Humans have a habit of wanting things just because they think they can't have them.

I'd agree with you if grandfathered owners could still use the firearms as freely as they did they day they were purchased, but that part never lasts long after the ban.

Unless you specifically registered your firearms as "receiver only", the whole firearm is the registered part. When they come for it, they won't leave with anything less than the whole thing, unless its simply not there. If all your firearms are registered, and you are willingly letting the police into your home to seize the receiver, I am going to go out on a limb and say there is no way you have the stones to look the officer in the face and say "what barrel?"

With the rate at which legislation and law enforcement moves in this country, by the time any police officer should have the misfortune of darkening my doorstep, all they are going to be met with is empty lockers and my right to remain silent.

You might be right but I haven't read that, so if I swap barrels or slides or uppers etc,, I must have to tell them? If I take the restricted apart and lose the parts or they are worn out?
 
The ones i sold was to prevent loosing them, the expensive, one Korth Combat and one KAC SR 25 were transfert under the name of my american inlaw and move to our New Hampshire farm.

The ones i am buying now (around 10K value), i consider them expendable if there is a confiscation, my plan is simple and safe.:cool:
 
Good plan caramel, but for us who cannot move we need to fight this, and if it happens, we must join a class action lawsuit to get our guns or money back! First choice, fight and delay till the conservatives get in!

I've been noticing that as well. It looks like a lot of people unloading ACR's, XCR's, 102's, etc. All guns that will be near worthless if they get thrown into the restricted category with AR-15's.

I think because the newer models are killing the older high prices stuff.

You should study the history of gun legislation in Canada. Non-compliance is rampant.

But you are right about one thing. Our non-compliance is not the loud mouthed flag waving come and take them kind of American non-compliance, its more like the British keep calm and carry on non-compliance. At least 2 million unlicensed gun owners and at least 10 million Unregistered firearms, and at least half a million unregistered handguns and prohibs. And those are the low ball estimates from credible sources. The upper band of estimates is more than double that much.

Tony Bernardo was on video saying there are import documents for 27million firearms. What was the max total of long guns in the LGR?

My guess is your numbers are close. Course many in non compliance dont use their firearms, so its still a win for the liberals.
 
I think the generations factor is also in effect, millenniums are not into guns and the younger crowd that is into guns like semi autos. It's not just guns its everything that older generations enjoy that have little value to younger crowd. Go to muscle car event, its all grey beards, motorcycles grey beards, revolvers its mostly grey beards as well and if you been in the gun collecting for years you probably already owned most of the collectables at one time or another. I have seen over the years when hubby kicks off, gun shops buying the collection because family members not interested. Another thing as we know in Canada unless you belong to a range wtf are you going to do with your handgun besides look at it, throw in mortgage, car payments, bills and how many can afford a $3000 python to look at?

Testify my friend, all true, my boys are mildly interested in firearms, but when they get old enough to have a place and take ownership of some guns,, the girlfriend/spouse isn't cracked about it sooooo! I started selling some guns that I will never use and were basically going to be gifts for them. Sucks!

I'm buying high quality guns now so that I can hand down heirloom quality guns to my sons when they get old enough. I don't think they'll do a ban...

Have spent a lot of time in gun stores recently and they tell me they are selling the way more restricted than anything else. People want handguns and ARs.
