Come on....WTF...."POLICE TRADE IN" and "Jimenez" have never been used in the same sentence until now. What departments are issuing Jimenez Arms????
Now queue that D.A. Thorox to tell us all his cop friends carry one.....
A firearm being labeled as a police trade-in doesn't always indicate it was police issued. Some firearms confiscated by the police are destroyed. Some are auctioned-off. Some are traded-in. Others just disappear (lost or stolen from the evidence rooms?). Lots of different makes and models including the good, the bad and the ugly. https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/search.cfm/CurrentPage/47/kword/police%20trade-in...
Sorry but I have never heard of "police trade in" being used for anything that is not actual police purchased equipment. Next thing you know 'army surplus' will be random items from the base's lost-and-found box.
And yes, some police departments do sell confiscated weapons but those are always described as "seized" as no one traded anything. Well, maybe their freedom. Gun 'trade ins' / buybacks are to get guns off the street (or that is the theory)....selling them again would defeat the purpose. Those guns are ALWAYS destroyed.
Sportsman's Outdoor store is purposely misadvertising these guns because some shmucks will pay extra for a used POS of a gun. Come on, a $119 Jimenez .380 with no mag? You can buy these at gun shows NEW for $99-$109.
Regardless, the po-po run the gun buybacks, so it's not false advertising: this POS was traded into the police for whatever freebie the buyback was promising [$50 GC? I dunno; AFAIC, buybacks are mythical because they're never advertised ahead of time; I only hear "it (supposedly) happened" at some point after the fact...]
Yes, but "buy back" guns end up in the smelter...NOT online. SEIZED guns (aka NOT "traded in") sometimes do get sold to the public or wholesalers.
HUGE difference and the nomenclature is not interchangeable.
P.S. Clearly you do not know what "regardless" means, or how to use it, so maybe steer clear of anything to do with semantics?
Bought one of these years ago just as a range toy. Complete piece of junk. They're horrible to try and disassemble and eventually the striker simply stopped working. I guess mine was a "police trade-in" too, cause I traded that pile of garbage in to the police to dispose of it lol. I wouldn't want another one if it was free.
