Are most of your weapons purchased new or used? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Well I got to thinking yesterday. I don't think I've ever bought a firearm new from the store.
Most all of mine are used weapons. For me I just can't seem to pay retail for a weapon. It's like a vehicle, the minute you drive it out of the store it drops 5-10% in value.

So do buy more used or new firearms.

All of my current weapons were purchased NIB.

**PackerfanXD** · 10-18-2007, 03:47 PM

Most of my current firearms were purhased new.

I have more surplus weapons than new...I only have 3 new pistols and 1 new rifle. Everything else is C&R, surplus, or kit built by me...

Handguns were bought new, rifles are surplus or used.

**XDAndMe** · 10-18-2007, 05:13 PM

2 new, 1 used.

Probably half and half.

Of all the ones I have now, I only paid for 2 of them (new). The other 7 are inherited.

I voted used, but realized I have only bought new ones.
