Any NJ stores regularly selling police trade-ins? (Glocks etc.)

Recommended Posts

Just a quick simple question - I regularly run into stores (predominantly online) selling a variety of traded-in police handguns (mostly Glock 22 Gen 3, sometimes Gen 4, SIG P229 etc.), but all that I've seen so far were out-of-state.

 

Are there any NJ-based stores that more or less regularly sell police trade-ins?

I guess NJSP and PDs in municipalities are no different from the ones across the country and replace their guns time after time - so the question is where those guns eventually end up (and if they end up in any NJ stores where one can look at them and buy...)

 

Thanks!

I heard from a state trooper that NJ would rather spend money destroying firearms no longer needed by the police than benefit from the trade-in value.

 

Hardly a surprise for this state, is it?

I went to the old Egg Harbor Twp Lawmen's and found my little stainless S&W Model 60 there...it had been a police training piece. I took it home, polished it up, knocked out some chamber blocking roll springs, and have a beautiful piece out of it. They used to sell trade ins from local departments. I also recall being at Hauge's in Thorofare when they had trade ins from re-equipping local departments. I didn't buy anything though.

Thanks, I also heard at some point that NJSP was actually destroying firearms, but was quite surprised to read/hear that as I've seen the condition of decommissioned  vehicles they sell out from municipal auctions - they pretty much sell *everything*, even if it is just a rusted frame with no transmission and cracked engine. That said I was under the impression that they are very scrutinized on what they are doing with their assets after they stop using them, so the natural idea I had was that they sell guns as well...

 

I seriously don't know how to comment :)

Not NJ, but right across the border in PA - Surplus City in Feasterville/Trevose had a ton of Sigs ((226 and 229) and Glocks (Gen 3) police trade-ins.

 

Adios,
