I am afraid that the value of formerly collectible handguns is going down. Hear me out.

[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4250391, member: 27098"] There are always exceptions to what people like and dislike. When something is produced in great numbers and still currently produced or improved versions are available, prices tend to go down over time. There are outlying factors though, bans where they are no longer sold new and grandfathered for purchases. The 1994 AWB is a good example, or NFA Class III items. A Colt M-16 will sell for multiples over what a new M-4 would sell for. Spikes in demand also can create a brief yet profitable market as well, like Covid did. In general if you are investing in firearms, be very selective. Wish I'd bought an H&K P7-M13 or P7-M8 when they were being sold, it would be worth a small fortune today. [/QUOTE]
