Police Trade-Ins, where can they be found?

[woodcox]

I am looking for a used police issue glock or even better, a sig. Does anyone have an idea as to where I could find something like this locally by chance? And if not locally, some website ideas.

When you say locally, if you mean in Indiana, you might try Kiesler's.

Summit Gun Brokers is a good web option.. They usually have several different options..

Nobody in my area (Lafayette Metro) does anything like that, but I'd think someone in Indianapolis might..

Southern Ohio Gun had Glock trade-in's a while back, could check there.

Kiesler's doesn't sell to the civilian market. At least that's what the web page says.

Almost always G22s. I wish they had some trade in 23s.

Bradis has PD trade-in G17s and 22s from time to time, as well as Beretta 92s and 96s, S&W 4003 Tacticals and most recently some Walther P99s in .40.

class 3 sales up north here in New Carlisle has a p226 police trade in, factory refurbished deal, I think they wanted 550 for it. it looked like it would shoot well, it had some scuffs but it is a w. german

If your dealer gets the CDNN catalog, he could order tradeins from them for you.

Wouldn't a police trade-in typically be kinda worn out?
I don't know...just asking, but seems to me most departments would target shoot and train quite a bit to keep sharp.

Generally, they are carried a lot but shot a little. The Smiths and Walthers that have come through lately have been in exceedingly good shape. Some finish wear from being in and out of the retention holster, but mechanically excellent and night sights still bright.

When Indiana State Police traded "down" from the G22 to the G17 a year or two ago, all those guns went into the secondary market; most of them had been fired very little if at all, due to the short time they were in actual service.

IME, it's not nearly as much as one might think (or hope!). Most cops aren't "gun guys" and only shoot as much as the department MAKES them, which is typically 2-4 times a year at qualifications or in-services.

My Police Trade G22 looks worn out. The slide is silver in places. The barrel is well used. It still shoot better than me. I don't know how many rounds they put through it, but I've put over 5k. I've dropped a possum at 70 yards with it, one shot. Still a good shot and a good bargain. But I wish it was a 23.

My roommate got a police issued Beretta 96 at the gun show, was even set with de-cock only, state police grips, trijicon three dot night sights and all! Check it out next time

Yes they do. They just don't have a civilian web page.

If your Military (Active, Reserve, or Retired), LEO or Fireman Glock has a pretty substantial discount for new ones. You must go though the regional LEO Glock dealer.

Ok.

Summitgunbroker.com looks like a pretty good deal. Thanks to "metro 40".

$350 for a G22 is a pretty good deal and with night sights on it!!
