Gun shops

[patchball]

i find that most big name gun shops are pretty much the same, they act like you are bothering them if you ask questions, or are trying different models. not to mention most are alittle high in there prices. i use a small town family owned shop, where the owner is a gunsmith. i get fair prices, and alot of info when i'm looking for the right gun to buy, he isn't under contracted to push one brand over the other, and they only deal in top quality use guns. bought my MKVII 41/44 combo there for $875.00 with 8 mags, and holster. the big store had a MKVII 357 1 mag and showed scraches and dents and alot of blue wear off and they wanted $1100.00 for it. so i'll stick with the ma&pa shops, i have learned alot from this shop, and if i do have any trouble i can stand right there and watch what he does. well thats my thought anyways

I agree sticking w/ the ma&pa shops but there is one shop online I dont mind buying from... BudsGunShop.com They have always been helpful with me purchasing firearms from them. They even talked me out of buying a more expensive gun and lead me toward a much more inexpensive gun that was relatively the same thing and saved me 300 bucks and I was completely satisfied with the purchase. So I went on to buy another gun from the, the Gold Desert Eagle 50AE XIX that I picked up for 1615 bucks shipped NEW. I cant even find them now for under 1800 new, the gold ones that is... but yeah other then Buds, I stick with the locals as well!
