A Certified Used Gun from Guns.com is always the best choice for buying a used firearm. You're purchasing peace of mind, with known quality, and you'll always get your firearm at a great price.
It's important to us that your Certified Used Gun meets your expectations, and that's why every Guns.com Certified Used Firearm goes through a rigorous 10-point inspection by our on-site experts.
We realize that accurately conveying a gun’s condition is essential when buying a gun online. We use the Blue Book of Gun (BBGV) Photo Percentage Grading System as the basis to rate our guns.
EXCELLENT: Slight overall wear, fired only a few times, mechanically perfect.
VERY GOOD: Normal wear, fired a few times, some stock and wear finish.
GOOD: Above normal wear, several dings and scratches.
Our experts certify that the condition is consistent with our rating and that you'll be able to use the firearm the moment it arrives. Because we are so confident in our Certified Used Gun Program, you are allotted a 3 day inspection period; meaning you have a 3 day window where you can return the gun to us, no questions asked, and get a full refund (minus any fees, shipping costs and a 15% restocking fee). We've also extended the return window for mechanical defects to 7 days for a full refund. Please reference our full return policy here.
