I understand you can get some really good deals on police dept. trade in guns. Where can these be found?
Thanks, David

Not all departments have that Buy Back policy. You just got lucky. Good for you,Your best bet will be to get to know an officer with the department that is trading in their guns. A lot of the time what will happen is the department will give the officer the opportunity to buy thier current duty weapon at a discounted price when they get their replacement instead of trading it in. If you are in pretty good with one of those officers, they you can simply see if he would be willing to buy the gun and sell it to you. My brother is a trooper and offered me his 45 Sig since he could buy the gun at only $375. I dont like Sigs so I didnt bother. A buddy of mine is about to have to trade in his G22 for the Glock 357 Sig and he can get me his old Glock for around $350. I just might take him up on that one. Good luck.

Isn't this a classic definition of a straw purchase?
Yes. I have a C&R account, and I can see the prices for all of the merchandise, not just the C&R stuff. Same with Century Arms.Can a C&R get the price, but then use a local 01 FFL to do the transfer?
eight433 said:not exactly. You can not buy a gun for somebody who is prohibited from buying it for them self. He would not be prohibited by law from buying it, only by policy. I do not know how long you would have to hold it to make it not look fishy, but as long as both people are legally able to own a gun, I do not see the issue.
