Won an action for the first time. I was unsure of the next steps after submitting my info and payment, I called D4 and they were very helpful in answering my questions and promptly completed my order. Shipping was fast and uneventful. Overall a great experience. Will definitely buy from them again.

I purchased a Glock model 40 from D4 around 6/01/2025, and was very satisfied with the purchase. Communication, shipping, the product itself were all great. I would do business again.

This was my first used gun from GunBroker-- D4 did an excellent job in putting together a detail description of the firearm. The firearm arrived clean, oiled and ready to shoot out of the box (I literally took it to a match three hours after picking it up). All the paperwork, locks, and peripherals were included. This was a better than expected experience. Five stars and absolutely recommend D4 for purchases!

Made a purchase through Gun Brooker. The ad was well represented including both the good points and the faults when buying an older firearm. The turnaround time was outstanding. I no more paid them and supplied them with needed information I was given a tracking number saying it was shipped. Great Service look forward to my purchase arriving and doing future business. Thanks.

These guys have great selections and keep the bidding honest. This was my second purchase through them and they were fast and responsive on both occasions. Shipping costs were average so take that into consideration when bidding. It's been a hassle-free experience and at the end of the day, that's what counts. Also, their used gun selection has ample photos to determine condition before you bid. Pro-quality close ups. I remain a happy camper!

D4 is awesome. All their guns are among the more desirable, and they are all penny auctions!. I purchased a classic CZ 75 B 25 Anniversary Edition and a Walther PPQ Q4 SF. Both were in great shape and D4 communicates well and ships to your FFL the day after you win the auction. Highly recommend!!
