Pros and Cons of buying a Demo handgun?

[mr ed]

Had a gunshop 20 years and could only afford what was in the case. No backup stock. So I guess I only sold demos then.
Just like every other small shop in the country.

Out of the box guns are great, but if it's a good deal - just go for demo. Gotta make your judgement on the spot tho, its a case-by-case decision to make.
I've bought some pristine guns out of the box with 100-150$ discount. Those've been shot maybe 10-15 times by the original owners. That's pretty rare deal, but great if u can find one.

I have a factory refurb. Came with holster marks already provided no need for me to start them. Very tight, has worked well for the last couple of decades. Still waiting for a reason to complain or use the warranty but never had a reason.
