Hi,
I am looking to save some money on my first handgun purchase by buying used. I'm thinking about a Ruger GP100 4" or 6" revolver. This gun will mainly be used for home defense. Here are some questions that I have:
1.) If I buy used, is it important to get the gun's papers (i.e.- clear criminal history)?
2.) What is a good/reasonable price for a well kept used one?
3.) How do I go about inspection if I purchase it from an online seller?
4.) Since I really don't know what to look for, where is the best place to get it inspected?
5.) Where is a reliable place to purchase used revolvers from?
6.) Will I still have some way of sending it in to the manufacturer for repairs if something breaks?
Sorry for so many questions. Your advice is appreciated.
