Lou at Shooters Discount had some 92 trade in's awhile ago...might want to contact him.

I got mine at The Cop Shop in Baltimore a couple of years ago. You may want to look at gun shops that are certified Glock LE dealers, since they handle a lot of the trades. Also, I think Bud's Gun Shop has them pretty often, but then you'll need to find a local shop that will handle the transfer. I know a lot of shops don't like dealing with Buds.

Any particular reason why?

stealing their buisness... instead of making a couple hundred or whatever they make on a purchase in shop, they are now only making 30-40 bucks on a transfer.

One of our IP's, that doesn't deal with Bud's, was very helpful to me when I had several other handguns transferred through them using other out of state sources. Even though the IP sold the same handgun as I was transferring, they called the gun's maker to verify age of gun to see if I needed to buy an Omega Lock.

I think Bud's made enemies when they said "NO handgun sales to MD".

To the OP, how many departments are still issuing the 92? During the last Presidential Inauguration, I talked with a LAPD officer carrying one, but who else issues them?

Hollywood cops carrying Hollywood guns, huh?



To the OP, check with Mark at 2ASales - although not a Police trade-in, he did/does have a pre-owned 92FS for sale.

That's genius. The choice they are really making is between 30-40 on a transfer and zero on me finding another shop. That said, I like the local shops I've dealt with, and wouldn't be price shopping them. If it was a fairly generic item (say, a new Glock 19) the local shop gets the money. But if I find something rarer or used, it makes no sense for the local shop to get bitchy. Let's say I want a Beretta 92FS (and I do). If I wanted a new gun and/or wanted to pay that money, I'd pay and be on my way. But I'm trolling looking for LE trades for a reason. If a shop doesn't want to transfer a $400 used gun in order to sell me a $700 new gun, it's ridiculous. Apples to oranges.

Ah, screw it, I'm rambling. Time for a smoke.

I've notice a good number of the Beretta police trade-ins are the Centurion model.

Well, one thing's for sure. They sell handguns to MD now. That's where I found a particular item no one else could seem to get.
