We know 2021 was the year the used car market went crazy, due to a shortage of new cars caused by a shortage of microprocessors. But what about the used firearm market? Gun sales hit all-time record highs in 2020 and 2021. Like cars, new guns are still in short supply. Does the used gun market offer any relief for buyers? Brownells Gun Tech™ Steve Ostrem gets some tips from master pistolsmith Bobby Tyler, of Tyler Gun Works, on how to buy a used gun in the present market. Buy from a reputable dealer, who gives full disclosure on the gun's condition AND who stands behind what they sell. One mark of a good online seller is when the gun turns out to be in a little better condition than you expected when you pick it up. High-quality name-brand guns like Colt, Hecker & Koch, Ruger, SIG Sauer, Smith & Wesson, and Winchester will always go up in value. Are there any bargains left out there? Sometimes, says Bobby. The current used gun market has caused some folks to decide it's a good time to sell their collections, and if you're in the right place at the right time, you can still get a good price on a great firearm.
