Have you ever found a hand gun?
« on: December 21, 2013, 04:49:25 PM »
In my career as a storage unit buyer, I have yet to find a working hand gun. I did find an antique pistol that wasn't worth much but it wasn't safe to fire. I have found several rifles and shotguns, but no pistols. Seems like it's easier to find gold than it is to find hand guns. Anyone found a decent pistol in a storage unit?

I too have found a couple of shotguns but no handguns.  I think most people especially in Texas keep them with them and they are easy to pawn.

I found a little RG 22 pistol and some imported .380 with no magazine.  A few more rifles and shotguns, but only two pistols.  Found lots of empty Sig Sauer and Glock cases though.......always get that little spike of adrenaline hoping they are in there only to be let down with yet another empty case........... :'(

Ever since I started buying and reselling in the Killeen / Fort Hood area, I have found scores of AR-15 / M-16 magazines. Heck, the unit I bought last month had 15 of them. A few months before that, 13. Haven't found any AR15's yet.  :'  I guess finding these magazines is to be expected since we're next to a military base. It's amazes me how much military property is misappropriated.

To bad you didn't find them a yer ago.    AR mags were going for $50-$100 depending on size.  Now stocks have been replenished and aftermarket companies banged out $10 ones.

Tell me about it.  Found 38 .223/5.56mm AR mags in a unit earlier this year.  Now they're only going for about $5-$10 each.  :(
