Good stuff. Thanks for all of the info guys. Seems like the only way to come across certified pre-owned (like a sig cpo) and LEO trade-ins are at the bigger stores. Wasn't sure if there was some sort of "central place" to find them. Yeah I'm feeling the pressure (in a good way) on the first pistol. I thought it would take even longer than it did for my permits to come through so I didn't start renting anything until the other day.

Just got my pistol permit (2 actually). I'm still unclear as to which guns and even which caliber I'm going to go with, but that's something I'll figure out. I don't want to ask the "what's the best pistol, caliber?" question here. (for those that are curious though, it's down to glock compact, sig, smith M&P, 92/96 and steyr M) I got down to ShoreShot last night and shot a couple 9mm's. I'm going to rent a few more times and just make a call from there. But I'm hearing about certified pre-owned guns, police trade-in's etc. Can anyone chime in and suggest where to look for them besides a gun shop's used section? Anyone have experience buying used? Certain mfg better, have a solid certified program? I thought it might be a good way to save some dough. Thanks.

Went there last night to rent a few guns since I just got my permit. They confirmed they're not offering the NJGF discount anymore. Not the end of the world, but it would have been nice to have saved a few bucks.
