There is a wanted to buy section on MGO also. You can list that your wanting to buy a pistol with such and such requirements like caliber,size,and price range. then say PM me with what you have and a price.

FYI to everyone. You have to be 21 to buy or rent a pistol. He can not simply goto the gun shop and try out all of these firearms. Just not going to happen, hell most stores wont even let him handle them untill he is 21, so his best shot is to goto someones house or meet them at the range in order to find out what he wants.

God Bless

Have someone go with you to Advanced ranges in Burton MI. They let me take my 7 year old daughter to shoot a rented Walther P22. I had to sign something.

Is there some family requirement?


Edited on advice.:)

If say I were to go with him I could rent them and then he could shoot them under my supervision. That is what the local Indoor range over here told me when I asked about this for my sister.

(c) The person possesses the pistol for the purpose of target practice or instruction in the safe use of a pistol.

(d) The person's parent or guardian is physically present and supervising the person.

(e) The owner of the pistol is physically present.

(3)(b):

(b) The person is 18 years of age or older or, if the seller is licensed under 18 USC 923, is 21 years of age or older.

unshot springfield XD .45 tactical with a 5 inch barrel,comes with case and various belt clips(im assuming dual mag pouch and holster they sometimes come with)

he won it at a wild game dinner.

price $450.00 you could probably sweet talk him to 400 if your good at bartering.


that website also is good for vehicles,ive seen everything from ricers and muscle cars to trail jeeps and mud trucks on there,usually for cheap.

That's a good buy for a NIB, even at $450. Bud's Gun Shop is getting close to $600 delivered.
