How would you rate your experience buying a handgun from Gun broker?

 

I'm looking for the same pistola..

 

Purchased my first handgun on GunBroker and had a smooth experience and transaction.  I bought an item with the buy now option and paid immediately.  Your experience will depend heavily on the seller, I imagine.  It would be similar to ebay.

 

Personally, I bought from Woodbury Outfitters (Supohunter) and got my FFL to fax the information over the same day.  I found the item and paid immediately on a Tuesday and by Friday it was at my local FFL.  Woodbury makes you get two-day shipping so it was good but I'd say stick with the big sellers who have high ratings.  Wouldn't necessarily trust a random private seller for a gun.

Hi everyone,

 

So, the process I initiated back in July has completed, and now I have my handgun. It is a Ruger SR1911, made in 2012, new in the box. I got it on Gunbroker from an outfitter in Georgia. I put a safe in my house to prepare for it's arrival, and tried shooting a few similar guns. I've field stripped it twice, and put it back together twice, taken it to the range once, and even cleaned it. What else can I say. Here's a picture of it. It is big and loud and made of metal! Now I am going crazy buying accessories.

 

Holy smokes....9 or 10 months!!  You are patient.  Did you have to follow up much.  It has been 3.5 months or me.  One of my personal references received their paperwork back in Feb,completed it & sent it back.  Other still hasn't received.  I've called or emailed almost every week for well over a month now to notify them that 2nd ref hasn't received ppwk......no reply since beginning of March.  Called PD & spoke with clerk once 2 weeks ago and I was told they would inquire.  Called this past week and was told they have added a second officer to process FIDs due to volume (and delays I'm assuming).

Congrats, be safe, and keep yourself out of trouble.

congratulations!  can't go wrong with a 1911, that looks sweet.  best of luck with it.

Congrats! Don't stop at one...

Very nice.  I looked into that model, but figured I'd save a couple hundred and went with the SR45.
