What is the handgun market like right now if I were to try to offload a couple, in comparison to a couple years ago? I'm way out of touch. Did the recent news lead to higher prices as people try to snap up whatever is out there, or lower prices as people try to offload guns before they become paperweights?

Handguns will pretty easily sell at double price currently, stock in stores is scarce and used handguns prices have hiked way up! I'd be selling sooner than later, the demand is still very much prominent and you should easily sell most pistols for 2x purchase price to buyers who are more than happy to pay for the sake of owning prior to freeze.
