Armslist.com. It is easily, follow state laws, get ID. When I sell, mostly to CCW, which adds credibility. Price high as they avoid sales tax and background checks.
Go to a gun show. The one our family goes to has people selling privately all the time, they walk around with a sign on the gun with the price. Transfers done at the facility.
Mean Daddy....Are you employed by the Federal government or any other law enforcement agency?
Is this a scam?

What state are you in?
Check with state law. Doing a hand-to-hand sale between private parties may or may not be legal.
2) Assuming you don't live in a Nazi state such as NY, Kalifornia, New Jersey, etc., under federal law you are limited to a face-to-face sale to another resident OF THE SAME STATE THAT YOU RESIDE IN.
3) You CANNOT SHIP THE HANDGUN TO THE SELLER. You must perform the transaction face to face with the buyer.
4) Again assuming you live in a free(er) state, you can sell your handgun face to face to someone at a gun show.
5) After all of that hassle, you might just be better off selling it to your local gun store, or using it as a trade-in against the new gun you want.
Find a gun show in your area!
Something just isn’t right about this post. Call me paranoid but my spidey sense alarm just went off.
Gun shop as a trade. Gun shows or clubs have flea markets.
Get a transfer / bill of sale from the buyer and you give him the goods. If it falls into the wrong hands you can show you parted with it. Most gun clubs will give advice into the particulars of the laws in your state.
Does the place where you want to by a new gun take trade-ins? 8>)
I personally would just keep it and try to raise money some other way.
I would need to know what state you live in in order to give you advice. Some states require background checks for private sales. The best advice I can give you is to go to a local gun dealer and solicit advice.
If you are still in Iowa, go to a gun show and sell it to whoever wants to buy it and looks presentable. If it makes you feel better, take a photo of their driver license. Or like others have said, most FFL dealers will trade with you. But at a gun show, there will be several dealers all at one location so you can go for the best deal. As for the ammo, pin a sign to a backpack and walk around the gun show. Truthfully, there aren’t many shady characters who go to gun shows and there is almost always a police presence.
I am not knowledgeable, but Google helps in searching.
If you were to sell on gunbroker, the buyer pays the shipping fees from FFL to FFL. You pay the gunbroker fees, but they aren't that bad, considering the exposure you get.
Selling off armslist can be tricky. Locally, sellers have gotten a combination of genuine and counterfeit dollars. And, does IOWA allow private party transactions?
Not much info for a decent response.
If you are in Texas, Texasguntrader.com is nice.
My advice is to trade it in.
There a number of ways of carrying an XD-40 that are nearly undectable. The gun does not need to be hammerless. Most guns have visible hammers.
Armslist is your best bet.
