I want to buy a Used .45 ACP. What is the price range I should expect?

Depends...if you're looking for a 1911...a decent one is gonna run four to five hundred.  A cheap 1911 maybe around three.\nA good 1911...six hundred to a couple of thousand.\nHigh Standard makes a great little starter 1911 for around five hundred...so does springfield armory.  Both would be great if you wanted to customize it and make it your own.  Taurus makes a really nice 1911 too, about the same price range.  I know someone is going to mention the Rock Island Armory or Armscor 1911's for the three hundred range, new, but I've had bad experiences with both companies, and I know others with the same issues.\nBasically, if you are looking for a 1911, you can get a new one just about as easily as a old one.  Now, just a .45acp...Ruger P90, around $280-$300, used...maybe a bit more...I don't like them, personally, and I haven't paid them much attention in several years.\nGlock 21, four hundred, used...maybe four and a half.\nUmpteen many more out there...prices from two hundred to two thousand...

Congratulations! \n\nWith scopes, the old adage "you get what you pay for" is usually very true. You will find a confusing selection of scopes for your .22 from $4 to $200. I'd say if you look to spend $25 to $30 for scope and rings for your Marlin, you'll be shooting inside the "C" on a Coca-cola can all day. \n\nYou can get one of the really cheap Tasco or no-name rimfire scopes with .22 rings for like $6 at Wal-Mart or any sporting goods chain, but I'd advise spending a little more for better quality. \n\nHere's a sweet one by Bushnell for $36 that will be all you ever want:\n\nhttp://www.cheaperthandirt.com/17388-15815-1541.html\n\nOn my rimfires, I like the old steel Weaver rimfire scopes that they don't make anymore but that you can find at gun shows and on Ebay sometimes. Look out for one of these, they are of a quality you just cannot get anymore...\n\nFor now, check out what you local sporting goods store carries and look at the scopes offered at some of the online discounters. I've included links to a couple of my favorites.

Here is a picture:\n\nhttp://www.texasranger.org/dispatch/4/Graphics/Colt1851Navylg.jpg\n\nI have a brass frame replica of the Navy Colt. You will want one better than mine.\n\nThey are mostly found in .36 caliber, but sometimes in .44. They are not as strong a frame as the Army model, because they dont' have a top strap over the cylinder. If you are interested in the American War Between the States, the Navy Colt is a good one to have. \n\n North American Arms and Dixie Gunworks  have great reputations for replica historic firearms. There are enough links in this page to almost make you an expert in muzzle loaders: http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/shenandoah/Black_Powder.html\n\nIf you are new to shooting, I urge you to take a NRA Pistol Safety Course. I have taught these classes for years and you will have fun and you will be safe! \nhttp://www.nrahq.org/education/training/basictraining.asp\n\nProper care and feeding is too long for this forum, but it will be well covered in the NRA class if you take one. \n\nI presumed that you want a shooter -- if so, you will certainly use a replica. If you are a very serious collector you may end up owning an original. \n\nKeep your muzzle pointed in a safe direction! \n\nLeigh M\nNRA Instructor\nhttp://www.NWSafe.org

I like the Ruger Red Label, they are not extremely overpriced and are a very attractive firearm, they have interchangeable chokes, and come in a variety of barrel lengths, gauges, and finishes, they also have straight stocks, if you prefer the English styled shotguns,

A complex question. First, most states have gun education courses, and if not, contact a local representative of the NRA. If you are buying a gun for protection, you want a gun with the highest stopping power with a single torso hit on the target. A colt .45 ACP automatic has a knockdown score of 95 out of a possible 100. A .44 special also fallos in that range. Avoid magnums and 9mm as they tend to be too penatrative, and most of the bullet energy is not obsorbed by the body. My personal favorite is the .45 acp automatic, and many manufacturers offer this weapon. Stick with single action, as a double action automatic is an ingenious solution to a non-existant problem.

I have a number of .22s and have owned many more. I normally shoot target with larger calibres, but for teaching beginners and just for plain cheap fun I always bring a couple of .22s along. \n\nWhile the Ruger 10/22 is OK straight out the box, it's not the greatest either in operation, accuracy or ease of disassembly for cleaning. The really great thing about the Ruger is the number of aftermarket parts you can find to make it a real tackdriver. A numer of modifications overcome all its shortcomings, but you will wind up spending $200 or more on a $175 carbine. \n\nIf you really have to have a 25 or 30 round magazine, the 10/22 is the way to go. Be advised that these mags are not easy to load up, so what seems like a time saver may not actually be. No .22 rifle uses "clips"....you are using that term incorrectly, it's a "magazine". The two are not the same despite Hollywood's incessant misuse of the words. \n\nContrary to a previous post, the US law that limited magazines to 10 rounds on rifles expired several years ago thankfully. That's only for handguns now. \n\nFor sheer accuracy, you'll want a bolt action. But they just aren't as fun as a semi for rapid fire, are they?\n\nMy best .22 semi rifle ever?  The Marlin Model 60, without a doubt. I've had maybe 20 different .22s, many more expensive, but the Marlin is a champ. I would recommend one to anyone looking for a good .22 that's affordable. Since the 1950s Marlin has sold millions of this model, making it one of the most owned .22 rifles in history. \n\nI've never bought one new either. Of the four M60s I currently own, all came used from either a gun show or a pawn shop with prices ranging from $50 to $125 for a perfect 1970s model with a good scope, sling and case. \n\nNOTE: The 1960s and 1970s models of the 60 held 18 rounds of .22 LR. I'll bet you $100 I can load and shoot 50 rounds in my Marlin with the tube magazine faster than you can load a shoot 50 with the Ruger!\n\nThe used market for 10/22 is hot. They are hard to find used and the prices are usually near retail, if you can find one without serious mods, in which case the prices are outrageous.\n\nCheck out   www.rimfirecentral.com. Join the forums and read all the posts for different manufacturers, etc. This site is all about .22s and the folks that love them. It's also a great place to get all kinds of advice on rifles, mods, ammo, etc. Don't be afraid to post noob questions, they're good people and won't be too hard on you!   \n\nGo to www.sportsmansguide.com and type 10/22 into the search box. These guys are usually much cheaper than Cabela's and have more gun stuff. \n\n\n\nWrite to me for any more advice...audnorge

For $200, i would recomend the spyder pilot. It is around $100-$140. Its is an electric marker and will give you a chance to get the feel of walking the trigger. In semi-automatic mode, it is capped at 20 balls per second. In fully automatic mode, it is capable of 13 balls per second. If you interested in dead acuracy, and about 5 balls per second, the Tippmann is right for you. Any tippmann is fine really. Hope i helped in your decision.

I go with a bolt action; Remington 700, Savage's model 16, or the model 10/110 also from Savage.  All rifles from Savage come from the factory ready for optic sights(scopes) and have the bbl floated(from the factory.  Floated bbl's are more acurate.  Don't look at price when looking for ammo.  You get what you pay for.  Premium ammo costs more but it shoots and performs better.  Save the cheap stuff for practice.  When it comes to caliber, here are my picks: .270 Winchester Short Magnum(my round of choice that I have killed 2 Caribou and a Dall Sheep in Alaska with; very fast, very accurate to well over 500 meters{I've done 1MOA goups at 800m durring practice a couple of times, it's hard to find a civillian range that has the ability and space to let you shoot past 200m.... big brother and I just went out into the AZ desert somewhere and shot}, enough ass to kill all game but Kodiak bear and probibly moose), .30-06 Springfield(old but old for a reason... IT WORKS!), .308 Winchester(7.62x51, the round of choice for precision Haji hunting and US med. machine guns), .300 Winchester Magnum(hits hard, shoots straight, requires getting used to the recoil, will kill anything, excellent round overall), .270 Winchester(another good all around cartiridge, it's kinda a small .30-06, been around for a while and that means ammo is readily available), and any variant of 7mm(accurate and powerful, but I don't have much experience with it.  I just know some guys that love it).  Don't go for any 7.62x39.  That round loses alot of ass/accuracy after 300 meters.  Train yourself to be surgical at 500 and you will be golden come hunting season.  It's the Indian not the arrow my friend.

your best bet would be to go to gunbroker.com or gunsamerica.com and see what the going prices are for what you are looking for.  Unless you can get your hands on a "Blue book of gun values" but that does not always reflect current trends.

Probably a little more than what you paid if it's clean, in good working order and not 'shot out'. These are gaining in value, as they are not made anymore and the quality of manufacture was excellent. I'd guess a collector buyer would go $150, so you may want to ask a little more to have room for negotiation. \n\nIf you are selling to a shop, dealer or pawn, expect about $100. \n\nYou should buy a few targets and a couple of boxes of ammo and take it out shooting. These are great rifles and shooting them is fun!\n\n\nDescription: Autoloading Rifle, Clip Magazine \nIntroduction Year: 1972 \nYear Discontinued: 1978 \nTotal Production: Approximately: 128,358 \nDesigner/Inventor: Research & Development \nAction Type: Autoloader \nCaliber/Gauge: .22 short, .22 long, .22 long rifle

Ihavea great anschutz mod.1451 that shoots great, but if you want something little cheaper check out CMP for a kimber mod. 82 it's a great gun and it's only $600. They also have other great quality rifles for good  prices.

Well I am a big fan of Savage rifles but to be honest they don't sell for as much used as say Remington, Sako, Browning etc...\nIf it's the plain grade version the price will be in the $300 range.

If you go to local library you can look it up in the Blue Book Of Gun Values.  One side note that i should tell you is that Winchester went out of business this year and there guns are highly sought after collectors items now.  so you might want to add 10 to 20 % onto what this years book gives price.
