How Surplus Pistols for Sale Make Such an Impact

Not all sportsmen, collectors and competitive shooters own a shiny, new 1911 or a glowing, brand new Ruger Red Hawk. in fact, like the rest of the gun owners in the country, there’s a good chance at least one of their guns is used.

Unlike so many other “consumer” goods, when well cared for, a firearm will last for many years and can even find utility between the gaps of generations. There are still firearms today that are well over 100 years old and have been kept in good working order by their owners.

So what’s the point of bringing this up? Is it an attempt to wage an offensive against firearm manufacturers because they charge exorbitant prices? Far from it - the premise here is not to rule out the possibility of getting a super steal by shopping for surplus pistols for sale in addition to new ones. The next time you are in the market, that is.

There are some really good reasons for this that don’t get a lot of press. Let’s address the most obvious ones. Some people just can’t stand the thought of a “used” piece of equipment, no matter what it is. Among them are others who are not confident with something that has been pre-owned, whether it is a gun or not.

Well, the most important thing to remember here is that surplus does not necessarily mean used. Obviously there is some military surplus that was used or in circulation, but just because it is surplus does not make that the case.

For example, sometimes surplus is produced and the military has no allocation for it. Rather than taking a loss under their production contract, they release it for sale to the public to recoup some of the loss. Very often, the goods that make it to sale are new and have never been used.

Admittedly, there is some surplus out there that has seen better days, but the fact remains that you can get a “new” or “like new” pistol by keeping one eye trained on surplus deals. Also, many surplus items have been gently used, at that, which lends some credence to this claim.

Also, because the pistols produced for militaries (sometimes outside of the United States) are models that are never released for sale here, shopping surplus deals can bring you in front of a model you’ve always wanted but never been able to procure.

In a lot of ways, shopping through surplus collections and used gun shops is like shopping at a yard sale, but better quality is built right into the process. You never really know what you’re going to come across, and typically you can secure better prices as well. Again, without really, gambling on quality.

Price is another point that makes a huge difference here. The prices of pistols and other firearms have been steadily rising in the country (and are paired with booming sales), but shopping surplus venues is nearly a sure way to get you a ridiculous discount on whatever it is. Sure, you can get a trench tool at like 85% off the price of a comparable piece of equipment, but guess what - sometimes you can get the same types of deals on surplus pistols for sale.

The hardest part is knowing where and when to look, because surplus deals can pop up even at suppliers with which you are familiar. It’s best then to have a number of reputable suppliers that you routinely work with. Make one of them Sarco, Inc., if you haven’t yet.
