I certainly dont know if this a general observation across the industry or just this one store. Its like polls. Interviewing 500 people in a country of over 330 million isnt really an indicator of anything.

Still .. It is interesting and supports my long held belief that a great percentage of people buy this gun because name recognition. Its almost synonymous with handgun. The equivalent of Kleenex.

But if your in the market ??
 
External safeties, those are for folks who don't plan to go hand to hand at any point.

If they are first time owners who bought during the panic buy they probably only have Movie knowledge on thier use.
 
Last "panic" buy I did was an AR 5.56mm lower just before the humiliation of PIAPS in 2016.

No matter, it is now part of a completed rifle, the small caliber of my AR collection. Had been avoiding adding another ammo type to my self-imposed caliber selection.

Sure you can, but they'll buy it back at a lower price than you paid, and charge you a restocking fee. :shock: They'll sell it as used for a bit more than they bought it back from you, and make a tidy little profit again.

Now that all that Covid money is gone, I'm seeing the shelves of my local pawn shops filling with guns now. Saw a sweet little Ruger EC9 for $149 the other day, but I'm gonna let it sit for a couple of weeks and see if I can get them down even more. I have the LC9sPro, but the EC9 has those gawd awful features of external safety and mag disco, so I wasn't interested enough to pay that price. :twisted:.

A BIT more, LOL? :lol:
Yeah.... :clap:
 
I keep hoping all the revolvers that disappeared with reappear once first time owners realize there is a little learning curve to shooting one and its not as easy as it looks in the movies to hit anything.

Dont really need anything but .. ya never know.
 
I've made some EXCELLENT profit from selling some of
my guns and ammo when "panic" and shortages (in the
past 40 years) caused prices to skyrocket, and people
rushed to buy things they should have already owned.

CAPITALISM
