We Buy Guns has released its June 2026 Secondary Firearms Market Report, outlining nationwide firearm submission trends, completed purchase activity and pricing behavior observed across the U.S. secondary firearms market during June 2026.
The report is based on consumer firearm submissions and completed transactions processed through the company's federally licensed purchasing platform. It highlights broader market behavior across modern defensive firearms, collector platforms and firearm collections.
June generated 1,793 firearm offers totaling $977,332. This represented the highest monthly offer count recorded during the first half of 2026 and a 1.7% increase from May. We Buy Guns completed 609 firearm purchases through its standard online platform during the month.
Handguns continued to dominate overall market activity, accounting for 62.4% of submissions and 65.7% of completed purchases. Smith & Wesson, SIG Sauer, Glock and Ruger remained among the highest-volume manufacturers observed, while the SIG Sauer P320 led individual model activity with 17 submissions and 14 completed purchases.
"June produced the highest offer volume we have seen so far this year, reinforcing the continued activity within the secondary firearms market," said Chris Wing of We Buy Guns. "Modern defensive handguns continue to drive transaction volume, while collector firearms and larger collections represent a smaller but important portion of overall market value."
Additional findings from the June 2026 report include:
- Florida generated the highest firearm submission volume nationwide.
- Texas produced the highest completed-purchase volume.
- Machine guns carried the highest average submitted value at $12,537.50.
- Premium and collector-oriented firearms continued to produce materially higher values than mainstream defensive platforms.
- Completed purchases moderated from May despite the increase in overall offer activity.
June activity also included multiple firearm collections acquired through the company's collection-intake process. One notable collection consisted of 204 firearms purchased for $62,000 and included a substantial concentration of Smith & Wesson revolvers.
The acquisition highlights the growing role of collectors, families and estate representatives seeking a streamlined option for selling a gun collection. We Buy Guns provides personal firearm evaluations, written offers, prepaid shipping and transfer support for collections ranging from several firearms to large, specialized inventories.
