2022’s top 10

[Mars5l]

I've bought so many, I can't remember what or when I bought

 

[JmacD]

Nothing on the list. I did buy a Bula Armaments standard M-14; A nice K frame 6" S&W in 38 Spl. made in 53; a Colt Police Positive in 32-20 and finally, a mint 99% apparently never fired after leaving the factory Type 14 Nambu made in 1935. Inside of the gun is full of cosmoline or something like it. The pre war quality of these early Nambu's, quite honestly, makes your average Luger look ugly.

Nice!!

 

[JmacD]

I already had a P365, so no need for another in 2022. I did buy a CZ P01 omega that I like quite a bit in 2022.

Interesting

I have a feeling ARs aren’t on there because there are so many manufacturers of a virtually identical type of firearm that a specific make and model just don’t add up fast enough and that is the way the list is tabulated.

I wonder it that’s part of the 320s success. That is a lot of very popular weapons in one model. Don’t know if that counts the m variants or not.

I can’t remember what I bought in 2022 but I do remember selling off 3 of those listed.

If they are counting by model number then that makes sense. Just think about a Ruger wrangler for instance. Black, silver, bronze, blue, plow handles, birdshead, super wrangler, grip options. Just standard models alone I can nail down about a dozen SKUs

 

[jmorris]

I have a number of those listed all before ‘22 though.

 

[PistoleroWadcutterGANG]

Bought a Taylor & Co. 1911 and built a "Do all I need" AR.

It's almost like you ought to work in a museum or something... (You've mentioned where you work in this forum).

Which model Smith is that 6" .38 Special?

 

[Legionnaire]

Nothing from this list. Put together ARs in 6.5 Grendel and 6mm ARC.

 

[theotherwaldo]

Nothing on the list.
Then again, I rarely buy any firearms new.
I let other folks soak up the depreciation... .

 

[Skeptic13]

I did buy a Mossberg 590 this year. I have been wanting a home defense pump shotgun for a while. Couldn't be happier with the choice.

 

[CapnMac]

Have a couple of those, but bought nothing new in 2022. Just kept the existing herd fed.

 

[JmacD]

It dawned on me just now that I forgot to note what I have gotten. I personally have bought a full size 320. Talked my brother into a Ruger American. I also bought an “other” rifle. Howa 1500 that has been totally rebuilt to some thing that is not recognizable to the original

 

[sparkyv]

Only bought one in 2022, a SIG P320 XTEN...I didn't own it long. This year, I acquired a SIG P320 X-change Kit and and an XDM Elite 3.8" 10mm.

 

[Zahn]

I bought thirteen firearms in 2022. I'm not going to list them all but a few notable are a couple of lever action rifles, a Henry and a Rossi, and a Smith 686 Plus with a 6 inch barrel. A few I bought off a friend who is downsizing and making room in his safe. But then he turned around and borrowed most of them back - I'm not sure what to think about that. But it's ok, I'm holding his Ruger 10/22 hostage.

Something like that's got to be the case. NO WAY every gun store is wall-to-wall with almost nothing but ARs, yet the platform isn't even in the top 10 on GB. GB must be tabulating by model and manufacturer (which kind of reduces the list's meaningfulness in a way...).

 

[stevek]

We own five of them...

 

[stillquietvoice]

I didn't buy any complete guns only pieces fir 98 Mausers. Of what's on the list the only one I have is a rem 700 bought about 8 years ago.

I do work in the Rock Island Arsenal Museum...or I did. It is closed now for renovations. Hopefully, it will re-open this year. The Army moves sloooowly. I will be be back to work when it does re-open.

To answer your question, the S&W is a pre- model 10 Military and Police model. It has lots of good, honest wear on it, but it is in superb condition.

I would tend to think the same thing; that the count is based on the manufacturer and the overall total of all the guns, new and used, sold of that particular model series. The top 10 might look a little different if the info was coming from some dealers like Bud's Guns or Grab-A-Gun.

 

[General Geoff]

Just curious; else pick any of these up? Thoughts on the list?

I did get a Sig P365, I'm not surprised that it and the P320 are at the top of the list.

The Remington 700 DOES surprise me.

I expect that the reason no AR15s made the list is that there are a thousand different makes and models of them, not one of which is popular enough to make the cut.

 

[Necessary_Nutrient]

I bought a new XDm 10 Elite 4.5" and a used, discontinued XDm-45 4.5". For full sized service pistols, nothing beats XDm in my opinion.

 

[irishlad]

I would have thought the plastic handguns and other popular "black/plastic" guns would have completely swamped any centerfire bolt action nowadays, but I guess there are soooo many different models of the former category to split up the market, and therefore make way for a relatively popular individual gun from the bolt action group.

And as you mentioned, counting used gun is no doubt a factor, and now that I notice the list is from gunbroker helps explain some of it. A lot of us who might rarely set foot in a bricks and mortar store stocked with 95% black rifles and plastic pistols are buying things like Remington 700s on GB, especially used earlier models.

I'd bet that list would look pretty different if it were gun store sales instead of GB. I expect a lot of Glocks and other plastic pistols are bought overwhelmingly in LGS instead of on GB.

I agree, the list would be alot different.

 

[kimberkid]

I’ve bought a 2” snub & 4” Engraved Combat Kimber 357 revolvers, Kimber micro9 which I hated, Ruger 5.7 pistol, Ruger Precision 22, Stevens Little Scout & Stevens Favorite single shot 22 to keep my Sears Ranger company.

Seems like maybe a couple others

What didn't you like about the P320 XTEN? Just curious.
