Are you an AR fanatic? Do you rock a Glock? Wondering what your SIG P226 is worth? Or perhaps you just want to confirm your next purchase is really a good deal. Whether you’re curious about the current value of your tactical firearm, or looking to buy, sell or just put a value on a family heirloom, the 7th Edition Blue Book of Tactical Firearms Values by Blue Book Publications, Inc. is your go-to resource for reliable information.

  • New tactical companies, plus the newest 2016 makes and models, along with important pricing updates on many current and discontinued models
  • Trends in firearms collectability
  • Nearly 635 manufacturers/trademarks, over 6,500 individual gun model descriptions, and over 50,000 values
  • Detailed model descriptions and proprietary tactical features/finishes terminology is used whenever possible, such as Magpul, Ergo, Hogue, KeyMod, Cerakote, Melonite, Picatinny rail(s), Novak, Mission First Tactical, Lothar Walther, etc.
