Which Site Has Better Deals — CAGuns.net or Calguns.net? 🤔

Caguns has a much better search function, layout, and most importantly - it actually works. There's no contest here.
 
I've scored some nice deals here on Caguns. When I get ready to downsize, I'm only listing here or on consignment/Gunbroker.

I had over 250+ iTrader at Calguns, and I don't check there anymore. I figure I had my run at Calguns and it's time to move on.
what was your top deal made if you dont mind sharing?

That's a tough question. It's a little like asking which I like better, my right arm or my left leg, haha!!

The Beretta Neos 6"; the Beretta APX A1 with all the trimmings for 'not' an off-roster price; the Beretta Olympia rifle (there's a Beretta theme here, haha!!); the Q Mini Fix pistol; the awesome deal on complete AR pistol lowers at GLS Armory that I found out about here.

By dollar amount saved (and aggravation saved vs trying to get one new on your own), the Q Mini Fix takes the top deal so far.
 
As someone who sold a lot of stuff on calguns and had a great reputation score that was erased, the site is too broken to use and this is a dumb question because of you are still using it you are part of the problem. Stop going there so it can die peacefully.

Hey, I get it—Calguns has had its ups and downs, kind of like a .22 that jams every other mag. But when it does run, it still delivers some of the best deals out there.


If you’ve moved on, no hard feelings—you’re more than welcome to never visit the site again. Really. Zero pressure.


But let’s be real… I bet you’ll peek back eventually. We all do. Because when that unicorn deal pops up—minty Python, cash only, no shipping—you know you’ll be back faster than a bolt carrier group in full auto.

Nope. Will never happen. Site sucks. Why are you telling people what they will be doing….
 
CalGuns is like your ex’s Facebook page. Sometimes you just have to see what she’s up to.

Though in my case, after I sent her a copy of a letter I’d sent to all of her sisters, telling of her lies about why we broke up and branding her as the slut she is, she hasn’t posted anything new since.

I guess I cured her of her Facebook addiction.

Hold up—when did I start handing out orders? 😄 Pretty sure I missed the moment I got promoted to Internet Overlord.


All I did was crack a joke and reminisce about the glory days before Calguns turned into the digital equivalent of a flea market with no tables. If it’s not for you anymore, totally fair—nobody's chaining you to a forum full of broken links and "Still available?" messages from 2021.


But hey, no need to go full scorched-earth on folks still poking around. Some people dumpster dive and find treasure. Others just see a dumpster. 🤷‍♂️
 
Calguns site almost never works. I got tired of the frustration and deleted it from my life.

I never said you’re barking out orders. Read it again. I just don’t understand your humor I guess. Telling people they’ll be back blah blah blah. Many of us won’t. You seem like a Calguns troll to me is all.
 
"when it does run" yeah if you are still using it you deserve every 404 error and to waste every minute of your day. It's not some special thing, this site works and it has a lot of features that are much better and the admin actually listens and wants to improve. I don't have nostalgia for broken 💩.

All it would take is a kindergartner with a basic knowledge of binary code to fix it. MONTHS and it's still not fixed?? Shut it down or start all over. This is a complete embarrassment to anyone associated with its operation. Nuff said.

When it does run….that kind of sounds like someone has Stockholm syndrome saying when my abused doesn’t rock me he’s pretty nice sometimes lol

In all seriousness, I have bought about the same amount on caguns and calguns but with more and more people joining caguns I’m expecting caguns will have better deals

But keep in mind it’s pretty much the same user base so we are still going to see a Staccato listed for $4500 when the same gun listed for $3500 hasn’t sold after being listed for a month lmao
