Used Handguns for Sale in South Florida

Handguns are consistently our most popular used category. South Florida buyers look to us for reliable semi-automatics and revolvers from brands like Glock, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Sig Sauer, Springfield Armory, and Taurus. Whether you need a compact carry pistol, a full-size home defense handgun, or a .22 for range practice, we typically have a strong selection on hand.

Used handguns often come in at 20–40% below the retail price of comparable new models, making them a smart choice for buyers who want quality without overpaying. Every used handgun we sell goes through a basic function check before it’s priced and placed in the case.

Used Rifles for Sale in South Florida

We carry a rotating selection of used rifles covering everything from hunting platforms to modern sporting rifles. Popular calibers include .223/5.56, .308, .30-06, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .22 LR. Brands frequently in stock include Ruger, Smith & Wesson, CMMG, Mossberg, Savage, and others depending on what we have in on trade or consignment.

South Florida hunters heading to Georgia, the Carolinas, or out west for deer and hog season will find our used rifle selection a practical and affordable way to gear up. Ask our staff about any scopes, bipods, or accessories that may have come in with specific rifles.

Used Shotguns for Sale in South Florida

From pump-action workhorses to semi-automatic bird guns, our used shotgun inventory covers home defense and sport shooting applications alike. We regularly see Mossberg 500/590, Remington 870, Benelli, Browning, and Winchester shotguns cycle through our used section. Gauges typically include 12, 20, and .410.

South Florida’s proximity to skeet and trap ranges — and accessible dove and turkey hunting — makes a quality used shotgun a practical purchase year-round.

Why Buy a Used Gun in South Florida?

Buying used makes sense for a lot of reasons. Cost is the obvious one — a well-maintained used firearm performs identically to a new one but at a fraction of the price. Beyond that, the used market is where you find discontinued models, older production runs with collector value, and niche calibers that aren’t readily available at big-box retailers.

When you buy used guns in South Florida from a licensed dealer like Action Firearms, you get the same legal protections and background check process as you would on any new purchase. There’s no skipping steps — every sale goes through NICS, every transfer is documented. Buying from a dealer also means you have a point of contact if any issue arises after the sale.

How to Buy a Used Gun in South Florida

The process is straightforward. Florida requires a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for all firearm purchases from a licensed dealer, including used guns. Florida also enforces a 3-day waiting period on handgun purchases (with limited exceptions for concealed weapons permit holders).

Here’s what to expect:

  • Visit the store — browse our used case and speak with staff about what’s available
  • Choose your firearm — ask any questions, handle the gun, confirm it suits your needs
  • Complete the 4473 form — federal form required for all dealer sales
  • Background check — completed at the time of purchase via NICS
  • Waiting period — 3 business days for handguns (Florida law); rifles and shotguns may be different
  • Take delivery — pick up your firearm once the waiting period clears
