I've never made an inquiry on Armslist that didn't come back sketch.  I gave up on it.

I have used Armslist several times and find it very legit.  Even meet a police officer selling a personal weapon one time.  And you can find some smoking deals if you are willing to haggle.

Same here... I have found it to be more legit with less flakes than BP. Never dealt with dealers, only private sales and all went smoooooth.....unlike BP
Only down fall  I see is a lot less volume of traffic.

I still remember when backpage was "new" enough that not alot of people knew about it.  they had some AWESOME deals from people on there.  But after sandi hook, it went full

I gave up on both. I sell everything on the EE or AZS now. Takes a bit longer but way less weirdos encountered. Not that some of y'all ain't weirdos, but mostly the kind of weirdos I'd kick back a beer with, rather than desire to cattleprod in the face.

Sometimes Armslist, sometimes Backpage, but always my caps lock.

I'd only do FTF with either of those and then only after checking out the seller/ad.  GB and various forums (including ARF) are the only place I'd do a ship to me from.

Backpage really needs add title search option or add more folders.   So much dealer spam on there.  And then all the derps who list every firearm related key word known to man in there listing.


I was looking for a Colt Python, but because you so graciously added those words to your listing for a Jimenez .25 auto, hmmm...    I think I shall reconsider my need for a Python and buy your guy instead, thank you good sir!
