I've noticed that Braverman / Stinger pen guns (non-nfa type) have gone from selling at around the $500 price level to about $1,000 in less than a year. Can anyone tell me why these things are getting relatively scarce and extremely expensive?
I don't think it would be today. Not that I think its an NFA, but the tiny little trigger with no trigger guard - just don't know if that would fly today. Otherwise, I'd think that at $500+ someone could make a fortune selling these things.
I am thinking of an unfortunate incident I experienced long ago carrying a Colt Tear Gas Pen in my hip pocket.It involved standing up in a rest room stall and starting to pull my pants up.Darn thing fell out on the floor,and it was not drop safe.I'll let it go at that.
As I mentioned..I have a Braverman .25cal. pen gun. They are very quality m made . Only take a second to put in the firing mode. Neatest thing you could lay it on a table at McD's and it would draw no attention. Thus a used one commands a good price.
I bought mine during the Clinton years. Why? Because it looked like something that Bill and Hillary didn't want me to have. Paid $217. for S/N B0011xx in 1994.
