Five Highlights & Market Insights

1. Winchester Continues Its Reign

Winchester dominated multiple used gun categories in October 2025.
The Winchester Model 70, often called the Rifleman’s Rifle, remains the top-selling used bolt-action, prized for its smooth cycling, timeless accuracy, and American heritage.
Its cousin, the Model 94, continues to define the lever-action rifle space — proving that classic .30-30 deer rifles never go out of style.

2. Glock G17 Becomes the Top-Selling Used Pistol

Used Pistol Market Surge Amid Major Brand Shake-Up: After ranking #4 last month, the Glock G17 jumped to the top of the used semi-automatic pistol market in October 2025 — not just because of its reputation, but due to a convergence of market-factors and major shifts within the brand.

Key reasons behind its used-market dominance:

• Trade-in supply surge: Because Glock pistols are widely used by law enforcement and civilians, there’s a healthy flow of gently-used G17s and related models hitting platforms like GunBroker — providing more choice and value for used-market buyers.
• Brand lineup disruption & discontinuation rumours: Glock is reportedly discontinuing a large portion of its legacy model lineup (including many Gen 4 and Gen 5 pistols) by end of 2025 to introduce its new “V Model” series. This announcement has created a sense of urgency in the market. See the article: “Glock V Rumours, Models Discontinued” on GunBroker.
• Regulatory pressure in key markets: California’s new restrictions target certain pistol configurations, affecting Glock’s eligibility in the state’s handgun roster. That regulatory squeeze increases the attractiveness and urgency for acquiring used Glock models now. See: “California Glock Ban” on GunBroker.
• Surge in sales of Gen 5 models ahead of discontinuation: Used-gun buyers are responding to reports of strong demand for Glock’s Gen 5 pistols, fueling upward pricing and resale interest. See: “Glock Gen-5 Sales Surge” on GunBroker.
• Parts availability & modularity: The G17 benefits from one of the largest aftermarket ecosystems (magazines, upgrades, holsters, etc.), making it a practical and serviceable choice for buyers — a key advantage in the used-gun market.

Bottom line: The Glock G17’s ascent to the #1 spot in used-market rankings isn’t just about its performance or brand legacy. It’s being propelled by supply-side signals (model discontinuation) and regulatory tailwinds (state bans) that are making current models more desirable and perhaps more “collector-adjacent.” If you’re planning to buy or sell a used Glock right now, the timing and market context favour sellers — or at minimum give informed buyers stronger leverage.

3. Remington Shotguns Still Rule the Field

Both the Remington 870 Wingmaster and Remington Model 1100 hold steady at the top of their categories.
These shotguns offer legendary durability, smooth operation and a loyal following among hunters and sport shooters. Used buyers love them for their repairability and classic aesthetics, making older models even more desirable.

4. Colt Python & Browning Citori – The Collector’s Corner

Collectors continue to drive demand for premium classics like the Colt Python and Browning Citori.
The Python’s stainless-steel finish and precision action make it one of the most sought-after revolvers in the used market.
Meanwhile, the Citori remains the gold standard for over/under shotguns — favored for its balance, beauty, and durability in clay shooting and upland hunting.

5. Ruger & Thompson Center – The Utility Champs

The Ruger 10/22, America’s most popular rimfire rifle, remains a consistent best-seller for its low recoil and modular customization.
Likewise, the Thompson Center Encore stays popular with hunters looking for one platform that handles multiple calibers via its interchangeable barrel system.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

The used firearm market continues to reward buyers seeking value and heritage — and sellers with well-maintained classics.
Expect to see:

• Strong resale values for Winchester rifles and Remington shotguns
• Ongoing demand for Glock pistols and Colt revolvers
• Steady appreciation for collectible doubles and lever actions

If you’re planning to buy or sell, now’s the perfect time to capitalize on seasonal demand leading into the hunting and holiday season.

Final Thoughts

The October 2025 rankings highlights that quality doesn’t fade.
Whether it’s a Winchester lever gun from decades past or a well-loved Glock that’s seen thousands of rounds, the used gun market celebrates durability, craftsmanship, and history.
