What gun is in demand right now?

According to the guys at my LGS, none of them. Been a slow summer.
 
It seems that whenever I start looking for a gun, the things disappear.

This is a corollary of the rule we all learned in high school or college: "Whenever you are dating someone, every other girl you ever wanted to go out with is available, but the moment you break up, every other girl you ever wanted to go out with is now dating and in a committed relationship." :)
 
If you want to know what's really in demand you have to look beyond
the gun fraternity. An article in the American Rifleman a few years
ago said that .25 acp autos outsell all other caliber autos combined.
I remember seeing tables at gun shows completely covered by .25
autos NIB for less than $50. Always plenty of people looking them over.

Anything under $500.00
Man, ain't that the truth. :D I'll admit that three quarters of the handguns on my Want List are used... and the majority of them have got to come in at $500 or less or forget about it.

This seems to be a common theme among everyone I talk with lately, especially when it comes to advice about anything you are trying to sell. $500 or less and there is still a decent market. Above $500 and it better be a damn nice & desirable gun or you better be very lucky.
 
Anything concealable, it seems, or "tactical."

Lever guns have had a bit of a resurgence lately.

I'm likely putting a nice used 649 on layaway today. It's a new production with the IL and MIM but I doubt my trigger finger or targets care. It will get "Plugged," so that's no thing.

I have been lusting after them lately and had one just show up on me.

The wife, I'm sure, is sick of hearing "one more."
 
Im looking for.

Ive turned over all the rocks I can looking for a 629 and 29 dx with 6/12 barrels with no luck.
 
My LGS says he can't keep these on the shelf:
S&W Bodygaurd .380
Ruger LCR .38 SPL
S&W Airweights in .38 SPL
Colt Mustang .380
Glock .380
Ruger LCP .380
Springfield EMP 9MM/40 S&W
Kimber Solo
Ruger MK III .22LR

Any used concealable revolver or pistol.
 
Cz75b's in 9mm seem to be in short supply here in southern California. I ordered one and waited four months for it a couple of years ago and my buddy waited almost a year for his. The Cz75b in .40 caliber seem to be much more readily available however.
 
For new revolvers, I think it's the 642.

There are threads on the forum almost every day that go: "I just bought a 642 and need info about:" ammo, holsters, how to shoot it, grips, etc.
 
Around here various flavors of plastic pistols and sheet steel and wood AK's.

Me, once I pick up my 649 I'm done.

Really this time.

Promise.
