Hey folks. My permits are ready to pick up and I'm about to invest in my first firearm. I'm looking for a used .22 for target practice. Who, in your opinions, has the best and most reasonably priced selection of used firearms.

 

Thanks in advance.

I like Mel at Defensive Security in East Windsor. He is worth giving a call to see what he has used. He works out of the house. He specializes with new gun owners / training. He will let you try stuff before you purchase. send me a message if you want his info. I am new to the forums and I am not sure if i can put his contact info on here with out looking like a spammer.

Where are you?

Looking for a pistol or a rifle? I am guessing pistol since you mentioned permits. I would go to a few brick and mortar stores and browse their racks? A place like Shore Shot always has full cases of handguns for sale, and a fair amount of rifles. If you know what you want, try the "price request" and support the forum vendors. You don't want to waste a permit on something you regret, do a little research, meet up with some forum members at one of the shoots (like Tuesdays at Shore Shot). Most of us would let you shoot our stuff to see if you like it.

I'm located in woodbridge. I've spent some time researching my first .22 pistol. Im in the market for a used Ruger mk series. Preferably with at least a 5 inch bull Or slab sided barrel. Prefer SS but if a goOd deal, blued is fine. I'd like to keep it under 400 with tax and NICS.

 

 

Also, I tested the waters with the price request and it seemed that because I am looking for a general type of gun instead of a specific sku and used...it wasn't as fruitful as I think going shopping would be.

My FFL has a lot of used handguns and a ton of long guns in stock, but he is away for another month, lucky him.

There is that forum sponsor right in Woodbridge you might try. Make sure you tell him you are a forum member for the best deal. Also, I saw a nice MK III Stainless (I believe a slab side) at SS a few weeks ago. Since I had a MK III already, I did not look at the price but you can always call. You are welcome to try mine out if you are going down to SS and I am there.

Go to nj firearms guild.

plenty to see including used

 

yeah. I've been to bullseye and spoken to Chris. It is definitely on my list to visit when I'm shopping. i saw the slab side, but if I recall, the pricetag on it was over $500. I'm pretty sure it is brand new. NJFG is another that I'll stop at.
