Used Guns

Impact Guns has been buying and selling used firearms since 1992, and our used inventory is one of the best ways to get a quality firearm at a significant discount. Every used gun we sell is thoroughly inspected for function and reliability before it goes on the site — we stand behind what we sell whether it’s new or used.

About our Used Firearms ↓

Where Our Used Guns Come From

Our used inventory comes from a few sources, and knowing the difference matters:

  • In-store demonstration guns — Firearms we’ve used for videos, photography, or showroom display. Many have been fired only a handful of times. These are typically in excellent or very good condition.
  • Police trade-ins — Service weapons traded in by law enforcement agencies when upgrading to new sidearms. These are professionally maintained firearms that have seen regular use. Condition varies but is typically good to very good. Cosmetic wear is common; mechanical condition is sound.
  • Customer trade-ins — Firearms traded in by customers against new purchases. Each is inspected and graded before listing.
  • Rebuilt / refurbished — Some firearms are professionally rebuilt or refurbished to factory spec. These are clearly labeled and represent excellent value.

Condition Grading

We grade our used firearms honestly. Here’s what our condition descriptions mean:

  • Excellent — Little to no visible wear. May have been fired but shows minimal use. Mechanically perfect.
  • Very Good — Minor wear consistent with light use. All functions work correctly. Good overall appearance.
  • Good — Moderate wear, possible holster marks or handling wear. Mechanically sound. Standard condition for police trade-ins.
  • Fair — Significant cosmetic wear but fully functional. Deep discounts reflect the condition.

Buying Tips for Used Firearms

  • Used inventory moves quickly — if you see something you want, don’t wait. These items are typically one-of-a-kind.
  • All used firearms ship to your local FFL dealer. The same standard background check applies regardless of whether the gun is new or used.
  • Police trade-ins are an especially good value in service calibers like 9mm and .40 S&W — you get a professionally maintained firearm at a fraction of new price.
