Sunset Hills Retirement:

Updated: Feb 8

A Simple, Legal Path to Selling Handguns Before Relocating

A recent visit to Sunset Hills, Missouri, highlighted a common challenge for local families: how to safely and legally downsize a firearm collection before a major move. A husband and wife preparing for retirement out of state needed to simplify their household, including the sale of five handguns.


The Collection

The couple owned a :

  • Glock 19 Gen 5

  • Smith and Wesson M&P45

  • Smith and Wesson M&P22

  • SCT17

  • Ruger LCP


The MDRF Solution

They required a licensed dealer in Saint Louis who could provide a fair and legal transition. We met at their home in Sunset Hills the same afternoon to perform a professional evaluation. By providing a clear Marketable Cash Value (MCV) offer on the spot, we helped them check one more critical task off their retirement to-do list with total peace of mind.

Everything was handled in a straightforward, professional manner, no ambiguity, no unnecessary steps, and no stress.
