This video debunks the myth that one should never buy used guns, emphasizing that knowledge is key for buyers. While many reliable used firearms exist, such as police trade-in Glocks or classic pump-action shotguns, certain models have inherent design flaws or are prone to wear that makes them poor used purchases. The presenter, Stephen Caleb of Brownells, highlights the importance of inspecting used firearms for signs of abuse or modification and recommends test firing semi-automatic models.
This video reviews Thomas Saren's 1978 book, 'The World's Fighting Shotguns,' highlighting its comprehensive coverage of combat shotguns up to the 1970s. While not a collector's guide for identifying minute variations, it serves as an excellent historical reference for understanding the evolution and use of fighting shotguns, including pump-action, semi-automatic, and experimental full-auto designs. The book is considered a foundational resource for enthusiasts despite its age and lack of reprints.
