Buying a gun is an investment, and you want to make sure you find the right gun for you. One consideration to make when purchasing a firearm is whether to look at new or used guns. Here are three of the top benefits of buying a used gun over a new one.
- Lower price. Used guns, simply put, are cheaper than new ones. However, that doesn’t mean they’re cheap in quality. You can buy a used gun in excellent condition without spending as much money on a new one, perfect for people on a budget. Even if you aren’t on a super strict budget, you can still buy a used gun and have leftover money in whatever budget you have for extra upgrades that will improve your shooting experience.
- Proven functionality. Sometimes, buying used can be a gamble in quality, like buying a TV secondhand that doesn’t turn on. However, used gun sales are commonly backed by proper testing, which grants you peace of mind while making your purchase.
- No “breaking in.” As is the case with purchasing many new items, there may be a “breaking in” period with buying a new gun. This usually entails minor malfunctions or problems that resolve themselves after the first few magazines. While this isn’t necessarily a common issue, it’s still nice to know that you won’t have to break in your gun if you buy it used.
